• Hello Lindsey:
  First of all Happy New Year to you and your family, hope 2010 and this new decade brigns happiness and all you want to you.
  Well, my name is Alvaro and I am 35 and was diagnosed with RP at 20.
  I was going out with someoen and she didn’t understand what I was going thru so we broekd up and I moved on.
  Not everyone can undestand whatw e dela with everyday and night, some can be taught to understand but others prefer not to help and are selfish about it, you need to discover if your boyfirend really understands or wants to, only in tough times yous ee the quality of the person your with, so its time for him to step up to the plate and prove you his love with actions, then you will know if he si worth your lov eor you need to find someone who has a good heart and true love for you!
  I think to try make him understand your challenges with RP, you should bring him with you either to see a retina doctor thatc an explain to him everything, or go together to a conference of Foundation Fighting Blindness where he can get educated on what is RP, how it affects your life and all that…
  He could also join this forum and psot a messag askign for someone who DOES NOT HAVE RP but deals with someone who does, how that person is helping the RP person and how to better understand that person.
  Lindsey, soemthing that your boyfirend needs to understand is that you need his support and help now, and you would not ask for it if you did not need it.

  God Bless You and good luck.
