I had a terrible two years. Terrible. Trying to keep smiling, working but as a dilettante because I was quite exhausted. One morning I told myself that I had to fight even harder, that I had to continue doing what I was doing. I tried a new treatment which stabilized me, and I started raising funds for an eye association, which supports diseases like mine. It can affect anyone. I was perfectly healthy, I had 12 in each eye before waking up almost blind. Sight is a sense that we cannot do without. I spent months without being able to watch TV, my phone, or peel an apple. I can tell you it changes a life.
