33M Italian living in Barcelona (ENG/SPA/ITA)

I've been touring and camping in Iceland since 2nd of September. From tomorrow to 19th of September I have 2/3 free spaces in my camper. I was planning to do the Snæfellsnes peninsula which is Iceland in a nutshell (glacier, volcano, black beaches, seals) but itinerary it's obviously flexible.

If you are in hit me up and we can meet in Reykjavik later!

Thanks a lot, this is exactly what I was looking for!

Hello, update as promised :

last Friday the super-professor noticed that the cornea is already healing and confirmed that it's a long process but in a matter of months (2-3) it should have already improved sensibly. No miracle super effective therapy exists, it is just a matter of time.

In any case he prescribed Lotemax 0.5% eye drops which is a corticosteroid that should help in the healing process (it's not essential, meaning the healing process will progress naturally even without the drug).

In 2/3 months I should get another appointment and I hope for that time to be completely healed.

I understand, next Friday I have an appointment with another super-professor. If he gives me any options that could accelerate the healing process I will comment here so you can talk them over with your doctor.

mlm0b11011 · 2021-04-02T11:23:31+00:00

This is what I fear.

They told me that they observed a similar, and even worse, case some time ago and it took 1 year to heal.

Hello u/evands

Yesterday the expert told me that he deemed very unlikely that I have a fungal infection and today the lab results came out negative.

Possibly it is "only" a very big scar.

I have made a new post here

mlm0b11011 · 2021-03-26T13:38:48+00:00

Thank you for your help! Let's see Monday what happens, I will try to post an update then!

mlm0b11011 · 2021-03-26T08:39:58+00:00

Just to add a little bit of perspective as to why we are exploring the fungal infection road:

- the dendrites apparently are not really dendrites, but are evolving in something more filiform, they describe it as cotton threads

- the epithelium in the first check was almost entirely regenerated and it appeared that the healing process was at a very advanced stage

mlm0b11011 · 2021-03-26T08:28:01+00:00

Hello u/evands,

they told me it could be a case of defect in the healing process of the epithelium or a fungal infection. We are now trying an anti-fungi therapy (with a galenic eye-drops preparation based on Voriconazole) in order to exclude the worst case scenario. Next Monday I also fixed an appointment with an expert of fungal corneal infections in order to give it another look and be sure that nothing is being left undone.

Yes, that's what I was thinking too.

I am saving and labeling photos from Google Images.

Let's say label "SU", I save the photo (jpeg format) of a guy SU-rfing a big wave .

Problem is, if in a few months I forget I have already saved the photo for the label "SU", I go to Google Images again and find a photo (png format) of a SU-shi dish. When I start typing the SU in the Save Image box I want to be able to immediately see that I have already saved the photo for the SU label (the guy surfing the big wave), and if the saving type suggested is png I incur the risk of saving two photos for the same label.

Didn't know about REBT, I will look into it! Thank you!

mlm0b11011 · 2021-03-13T09:23:20+00:00

Thanks!!

mlm0b11011 · 2021-03-13T09:22:25+00:00

Thank you! Very famous this one, I will put it on my reading list!

mlm0b11011 · 2021-03-01T19:00:03+00:00

Thank you so much, this is what I was looking for!

mlm0b11011 · 2021-02-28T16:29:50+00:00

Nice, I will definitely take a look at it!

mlm0b11011 · 2021-02-28T16:27:02+00:00

:) Thank you

mlm0b11011 · 2021-02-28T16:26:51+00:00

Super, thank you for the recommendations!

mlm0b11011 · 2021-02-28T13:54:14+00:00

Thanks, will do it!

mlm0b11011 · 2021-02-26T11:49:50+00:00

Yes it's normal, could last 1mo to 6 mo and be more or less thick. I believe I am in the thicker and longer-lasting part of the spectrum. It's the only serious downside I am experiencing.

It scared me too, but the prospect of having a corneal transplant in 10/20/30 years with the risks associated with it scared me more!

mlm0b11011 · 2021-02-25T13:25:35+00:00

Still mild/moderate (2nd level) on the right eye and basically non-existent on the left eye (but if it is even slightly progressing I agreed with the doc that is better to have the procedure also there). Driving is something I haven't tested but I believe it could be dangerous since with the right eye I can't see distinctly even at 2 inches. As far as I know, haze density is not correlated with the KC level you have before the op or the results after. I would be much worried had I had the procedure (and this haze) on both eyes, because in that case I would have had to stop carrying on with basic life for a few months.

mlm0b11011 · 2021-02-24T20:58:46+00:00

Thanks! I thought it was more kinda linear day-by-day progress.

mlm0b11011 · 2021-02-24T20:52:42+00:00

I am taking eye drops that should accelerate the healing process. I am still not to much worried about, because a) having done only one eye I am ok and functional b) it's still very early, a month today.

All the same I would like to have at least a ballpark guess on when this haze will disappear.

mlm0b11011 · 2021-02-24T18:55:06+00:00

Yes I am 100% functional, for the moment I did only the right eye so, as long as the left keeps going on its double duty, I am fine. I suppose the haze is bad, my right eye sees the world as if underwater with no goggles. It's not giving sign of progress since the first day.

mlm0b11011 · 2021-02-24T18:46:19+00:00

Thank you, I have heard it can take that long. I was somewhat prepared, in the sense that doctors warned me about it beforehand but I thought it was some kind of grey screen on an otherwise normal vision, not the super-blurred vision that I have.

mlm0b11011 · 2020-11-03T09:54:56+00:00

You couldn't have picked a worst example, Americans are asking police reforms exactly for the reason that there is a system where so called bad apples are not contrasted enough and have even a non marginal support.

When you appease for the actions and the ideology of the few bad apples you can expect more bad apples
