Many thanks to my dear friend Camille (@FrenchTechnoKitten) who generously gifted me a 1-month core membership via Diamond Badge! Incidentally, she is one hell of a skilled and hard-working artist and one of my favorite traditional artists on this site (and in general). Be sure to check her gallery if you haven't already - and if you like what you see, why not add her to your deviant watch as well? :)

Is it just me or did DA break sta.sh functionality? A few days ago I could no longer edit descriptions from the stash and it looks like it hasn't been fixed yet. Hopefully this'll get fixed soon. But knowing DA, they'll probably just kill the stash and replace it with something worse that somehow has less features. >_

Today I had my final check-up at the eye doctor. Eyesight is back to normal, though I still need to figure out the root cause behind all of this. Additionally, another check-up has already been scheduled for early next year. As for the cause, I finally found some 20-year-old test results among my documents today which may point me in the right direction. But my GP is going to be away next week, so the earliest I can get an appointment for further tests or referrals is most likely going to be early to mid November. Thank you again to everyone who supported me during these hard times. Know that you are greatly appreciated. :thanks:

Hey everyone, here is another status update regarding my eye situation: I just got back from another visit to the ophtalmologist, and I have to admit I was unsure what to expect today; the reason for this is that symptoms were flaring up again overnight from Sunday to Monday, accompanied with a small but noticeable decrease in vision. However, it has since then stabilized and fluctuates (within expectations) over the course of the day. Given the high dosage of medication I received, I assumed that a noticeable improvement was be to expected. But the doctor told me that things are actually looking okay for now - there are no more signs of an active inflammation (which is extremely important), intraocular pressure is good and the retina looks fine as well. As a consequence, I am now to slowly reduce the dosage of the remaining medication, with another doctor's visit scheduled three weeks from now. According to my medication schedule I may also be able to drive a car again as early as

Here's another update on the eye situation: It appears the inflammation is more aggressive so far, as the condition of my left eye worsened over night. It has improved again somewhat since then, but ideally this should not have happened at all considering the medication I'm on. So after visiting both my GP and the eye doctor twice today - for a total of four visits - I have now been prescribed additional, more potent medication. Additionally, there is still the issue of root cause which is yet to be determined. A senior colleague of my eye doctor said that I might have to visit the Charité Hospital in Berlin in order to get a diagnosis... Truth be told, this is not something I am looking forward to. First things first though, as I am scheduled for some blood tests tomorrow morning. My next check-up with the eye doctor is the day after tomorrow (Thursday), by which all of us sincerely hope the conditon will have visibly improved. Wish me luck, send me prayers and good thoughts, etc. -
