  • There are none. Some eyedrops are in the works.
    Vitamins are recommended but there is some controversy as to the ingredients.
    Unfortutunately, I think it is all a bad joke.
    We are in bondage of this little known disease. When I was diagnosed I could't not belive that there was nothing and that I supposedly gave myself this disease by my eating.
    Thanks for letting me vent.

  • Hi Debra,

    Thank you! I've been reading a lot on the DMD, and yes there are no treatments right now.

    My mom has it and you know what she is going through. What a tremendous frustration it is because she is still young.

    Let's pray for those who have the disease and hopefully in the future there will be some or partial cure for retinal disease.

    Best,
    Pilar

  • Sorry to hear about your mother.
    I have dry macular degeneration so I do relate.
    Yes, we can pray and you have a good chance to avoid the disease.
    Debra
