lately I've been getting black spots in my right eye... I'm not sure what it is but it could be the start of diabetic retinopathy, which could lead to blindness if I don't get it fixed.

It's been here all the past 4 or 5 days... not floaters but a static spot in my eye just below center of vision that kind of looks like someone dipped the very tip of their finger in some pencil dust and touched the outside of my eyeball. It's really starting to bother me and is getting very annoying indeed.

Anyone have any clue what it could be?? I have the name of a doctor sort of nearby that has been rumored to do pro-bono work, but I'm not counting on that. I guess I'll call next week.

Anyway just rambling...

Feel free to farm

See a good doctor, you don't want to mess with stuff like this.

Thanks Pish

Yeah I've got pretty high blood pressure lately too, last time I was at the doctor was 164/104. I think it was because I was stressed out about his bill. :p

I don't have vision insurance, so that concerns me. This has persisted for a week now so I'm going to call that doctor and try to talk him into giving me at least a payment plan or something.

Hey Lil.

Please see the doc soon. Sounds like something worth taking a look at sooner, rather than later.

Hope all goes well!

I'll chip in some cash to the Save Naomi's Eyeball fund, just keep me posted.

most doctors are willing to work with you Naomi

I had to make a payment plan with my gastro...like 50 bucks a month...because I didnt know he wasnt in network with my insurance.....and I got stuck with a bill.....so I think if you ask....you'll be ok...but yes...get it checked out
...I think I still have your address.....I'll find a way to your house..../shakes fist
