[RL] Long time no see! I have come by because I have an interesting "That moment when" for today!

Deria
That moment when you see a new eye doctor and he debunks your 21-year-old diagnosis and gives you a new one that's tied to your other intertwined health conditions...after looking at two pictures of your eyes.

Leanne No
Oh?!?

Deria
Yup. At age 15 I was diagnosed with rod-cone dystrophy, and he says I actually have dominant optic atrophy, which is a genetic condition that ties into other issues such as diabetes. hearing loss, and such. I happen to be insulin resistant, have some hearing loss in my left ear, and have a family history of PCOS.

Deria
And the PCOS is also tied to my insulin resistance. Which my heart doctor stressed that could be the cause of a lot of my health issue just by looking at my facial hair.

Deria
So it took a new doctor two minutes to realize and link something that only one of my current doctors did, and also tell me that I'm misdianosed.

Deria
And I can only be amused.

Sometimes it realy does just take the right doctor.

ShaynaIsHere
Glad to hear from you as well!

Deria
It does, but the biggest irony is that that revelation came from my two male doctors who don't specialize in my main health issue and not my primary in the Women's Integrated Services in Health clinic.

Deria
Also I missed you guys!

Deria
I just never really have anything to talk about so I haven't popped up.

ArtIsArt
I'm glad you got a more relevant and probable diagnosis! Is there anything to be done?

Deria
About my eyes, probably not. He's referring me to a neuro-ophthalmologist for the genetic test he was going to do because he feels that's the best way to get specific answers on what to expect,

Deria
And I have an appointment for my PCOS already lined p for later this month.

Deria
ArtIsArt
: How are you by the way?

ArtIsArt
I'm doing ok! Got into a V5 campaign by way of a new friend where I'm playing a self-described "Crazy Cat Brujah."

Deria
Cool!

Deria
I'm in two VTM game and two Chronicles of Darkness games.

ArtIsArt
Niiice. I also am in a couple PBTA games, and running a LOT.

ArtIsArt
And in a pathfinder game that never runs.
