Thank you for replying Dave. I was actually reading your posts that you have listed as your favorites when your reply to my last post came through. I'm seeing a real similarity between how you "used" to think and how I've been thinking and fighting the Allopathic medicines most of my life. I got a "wow" moment after reading your posts tonight, thinking that you are absolutely right on, about letting go and embracing what is. I've always had "white coat" syndrome with my blood pressure being over the top whenever I have had to go into any medical establishment. Even when it's been to accompany a family member, and I wasn't the one with the medical problem, my blood pressure would rise and my heartrate would beat so fast that I felt like I was going to explode. Some people are like this with heights or ladders, with me, it's anything allopathic. This "trying to control" my situation is probably what is causing all my high pressures to begin with, and it's a wake up call to change my way of thinking like you say. Only then, will I experience better pressures.
You mentioned Louise Hay, whom I've listened to and read some of her work. People think I'm nuts when I speak of her work and tell them how she cured her own cancer. Have you seen the website www.naturalnews.com? Great information in general there, and they have great free newsletters. It's not a glaucoma website, but it certainly touches on almost everything else. Check it out, if you haven't already. It's my favorite newsletter.
I thought you had to stay on drops forever once you started. No one tells you that you can go off of them if your pressure drops. There is another website that I was checking out called www.willsglaucoma.org . It's pretty active and they have a weekly chat schedule with glaucoma specialists. Last night the discussion was Incisional Surgery Risks. August 20th the discussion will be Optic Nerve Imaging. That might be interesting to see what the specialists have to say and how they interpret that particular test.
Anyway, I'm happy to have found your website by chance, but was it really by chance or by design? What I like about your site is the the whole mind/body approach. Something, I've let slide over the years, and put too much focus on the body and not the mind. It's been a Godsend that your website has brought it all back into focus.
Hi Svenska. I am happy you found FitEyes.com too! We are glad to have you here. I'm sure it was by design ;)
There is nothing inherent about using glaucoma eye drops that would require you to stay on them forever once you start. Some people do indeed use them temporarily. I know one person who was completely able to discontinue all eye drops after starting self-tonometry.
With your desire to avoid allopathic medicines, you could view the eye drops as a temporary measure to buy you enough time to implement the alternative approaches you find suitable.
I'm glad to see you are educating yourself through all these websites. Thanks for your feedback on FitEyes.com! :)
