Hi

My cp has been put down to 4 major strokes anyway Im pretty certain ive got Cortical visual impairment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia as I have had 5 doctors and there machines say "normal"(its a washing machine cycle) eyes

The oop(out of pocket) specialist I saw today said that it was highly likely but wasnt worth the money getting diagnosed because there is no medical fix(there is low vision training) anyway I have an appointment with oop(out of pocket) nourn eye guy on the 1st of march

When will doctors LEARN theres nothing wrong with disability

inmate23: if you are convinced that there is "nothing wrong"- why are you making visits to the doctors? Why do you feel "compelled" to have them make diagnoses-if you know the situation?
Am I misreading what you keying?

Ok check out this link Vision impairment - neurological | Better Health Channel my eyes see but the brain doesnt process visual info correctly same as with my ears

this thread is rant about the medical community not seeing that people who function as Deafblind can be fine with low vision/blindness training

im not Deafblind but function as deaf(im learning sign) low vision

Off-topic but I must ask--inmate, were you in the earthquake?

drphil · 02-22-2011, 08:50 AM

I am not Blind/Deaf thus no comment on this situation. However reading an article does appear to me to leave one with-- what can I do about this situation re "medical wise" in the future?

Your medical system is different than the one I am familiar with-Ont Health Insurance Plan-OHIP.

Good luck on your ongoing journey

Inmate23: hope your hospital can give the appropriate "low vision/blindness skills".

It was quite an earthquake in part of New Zealand.-completely unexpected.
