Postby Mousework » Wed 19 Jun 2013 8:16 am

gang had a graph last month, and within four days the graph was being rejected, now i have almost lost the sight of the graph eye,

they tried alot of drops and stuff to revise the rejection.

Really sorry to hear this. I had several rejection episodes with my grafts, but all were successfully reversed and more than 25 years on, I still have my original grafts. The first episode was the worst, as I didn't go to A&E for several days, not realising what was going on. So that one involved an injection into the eye and then very frequent steroid drops for a while. With subsequent rejection episodes, I was at A&E straightaway and upping the steroid drops for a while did the trick. I do hope the doctors manage to reverse your rejection. Let us know how you get on and all the very best.
