Strange how something that was created for an entirely different purpose can possibly help something else.

I am becoming increasingly suspicious of big pharma. Is this another ‘hook’ or could it be worthy of further thought?

Nothing prevents masturbation.

So says an older friend that is.

She said...well, I mean I didn't watch or anything.

I have atrophic (or “dry”) age-related macular degeneration. I’ve been taking AREDS2 per doctor suggestion. Just went in for 6 month checkup yesterday, and my eyes have not gotten worse.

I’ve been taking Prozac for about a year for anxiety and I still have anxiety.

That’s not true, “off label” prescribing is OK.

“Based on their findings, the researchers are urging clinical trials to test the drug in patients with AMD. If successful, they believe the drug could be administered either orally or via a long-lasting implant in the eye.” Happy eyes!... With my recent cataracts surgery to both eyes the surgeon injected a DOXYcu bubble into the lens pocket which has dissolved over time. The bubble contained medicines before administered as eye drops, frequently dropped into the eyes. The bublle alleviates the need for drops to the eyes and has worked like a miracle! Expect the bubble approach to be used with the prozac, injected into the interocular fluid to dissolve slowly. I will be availing this new technique asap since i have AMD which cannot be corrected byt he cataract surgeries.
