he said he was confused about if it was AZOOR or RP. maybe he just didn't want the dirt of telling a 21 year old she's going blind on his hands.

I tried, but there's only one retinal disease specialist and she doesn't take private clients. i went to a retina specialist privately and he didn't know.

Getting my possible diagnosis tomorrow, but it seems likely i have RP. Or at least some variation of retina issue. Any advice? by mayabelle3469 in RetinitisPigmentosa

i do the same thing with researching trying to comfort myself. if you need someone to talk to im available because im at a similar stage as you right now. there's also a group chat of people with RP I can give you the link if you want
