  • I was also dianosed with RP in my mid 30's and am now in my late 50's. I am the only one in my family that has been diagnosed. I have two grown children now and neither one of them have been diagnosed. I still drive a short distance to and from work and church, but not much more than that. If I want to drive long distances I take someone with me that will help me out. I remember how scary it was at first. I'm still very aware of it, but I don't dwell on it anymore. I haven't been on this site in a while. Good to be back!
