Guest guest Posted October 13, 2002 Report Share Posted October 13, 2002 > Hi! I just joined the group. I was diagnosed with RP about 2 years ago. My experience is that most of the doctors in my community have either never heard of RP or have never seen it. My biggest problem right now is my eyes, so when I saw your subject, I immediately wanted to talk to you. I have the most difficulty at work with the florescent lights and the computer screen. My eyes actually hurt all day long and of course are very tired at night after the strain all day long. They also become very red and swollen and water most every morning at work (but usually not at home). I have been going to an Opthomologist, but she doesn't seem to even want to consider the possibility that the RP and my discomfort could be related. I do have high pressures, so she is monitoring my for that. Have your problems been similar? I would enjoy hearing from you. Thanks!
