avastin shot update [pohs]

presumed ocular histoplasmosis


Well it's been 2 days since my first Avastin injection for my POHS.  The injection wasn't as scary as I had expected it to be.  The rest of the day I felt pretty sleepyyy and mildly uncomfortable in my eye.  Yesterday I discovered little floaters that looked like things swimming around in my eye.  After some research and asking people with POHS, I found this is normal with Avastin injections.  Today I feel much better.  I still have some discomfort, && I'm tired, but all in all I'm starting to feel more normal.

I just wanted to pop in and provide an update.  I try not to sit at the computer any longer than I have to right now.  I'm still sensitive to the light.  Have a wonderful weekend!
