For Macular Degeneration "Not sure if it is from Eylea HD or COVID that I had 3 months ago. But I just started with Eylea HD after 6 months with regular Eylea, and I have had SEVERE fatigue and joint pain to the point where I cannot do anything for very long. I used to walk miles with 3 dogs, and I can now barely get around two blocks. I cannot houseclean, and I have a horrible hoarseness to my voice, which affects my teaching. HELP!"

For Macular Degeneration "I've been getting this treatment for wet MD for about a year now, with some improvement in my vision. Now I'm at 7-week intervals. I've always had visual 'bubbles' that last a few hours. After my last shot yesterday, I've had a persistent black circle in that eye, which has not resolved at all. I called the office and was told to wait a couple of days..."

For Macular Degeneration "I was diagnosed with wet AMD OD & dry AMD in OS at the end of 2023. Since then, I have received injections about every 4 weeks. My most recent injection was 4/17/24. My doctor is very pleased with the effects of these injections and I am now using Eylea HD. Having had every major commonly known eye condition beginning in 1964 with an infected corneal ulcer from ill-fitting hard CLs and including glaucoma in my 20s, cataracts in my 30s followed by detached retinas, Fuchs Dystrophy requiring two cornea transplants, pints (?) of eye drops, and 7+ eye surgeries that my 73 y.o. memory can recall, not including small procedures. The only consistent side effect from these injections has been the familiar 'brow ache' that plagued me with my bouts of glaucoma (open-angle variety), as well as Charles Bonnet. I have technically been free of glaucoma in both eyes since having a trabeculotomy (circa 1978), probably in OS. My cornea specialist pronounced me 'cured,' which came as a surprise."

For Diabetic Macular Edema "I was changed from Eylea 2 mg to Eylea HD 8 mg, with no consultation whatsoever. The following week, I fainted (breaking my ankle), never having fainted before in my 75-year-old life! I know there is a possible ‘common’ side effect of blood clots with this medication, and suspect - but obviously cannot say definitely - that such a blood clot may have formed and moved to my lungs, causing me to faint. Eylea HD is continuing to address my DME. I will ask my consultant if I can return to the 2 mg dose, which I have been receiving - with no side effects - for over a year now."
