Okay! I am COMPLETELY new here. I just barely sighned up like 5 mintues ago. My best friend has stargardt's disease. I know theres no current cure for it right now. I'm not exactly sure what it is. All I know is that this is making her blind an she can barely see. She is very depressed because of this, as would anyone. She is only 15 and I am 16. I'm just wondering about information for her. Is there ANYTHING she can do at all?

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
there are links at the bottom of the article I hope this helps somewhat
Current research also shows that patients with Stargardt's disease could slow its progression by wearing UV-protective sunglasses and avoiding exposure to bright light.
SPECIAL RED LINSES WOULD CUT DOWN OR MAYBE CUT OUT ALL BAD LIGHT BUT THIS DOES AWAY WITH SEEING COLORS..BUT DOES PROTECT THE EYS AMD SLOWS DOWN THE PROGRESSION OF THIS EYE CONDITION
I AM GLADE YOU ARE BEING THE GOOD FRIEND. THER IS NOTHING AS GOOD A GOOD FRIEND THAT WILL STICK BY YOU THROUGH THICK AND THIN. YOUR FREIND WILL NEED YOU MORE THAT EVER NOW.
So i guess you will need to be a very good friend and drive her places a lot. There are many people who can not drive for one reason or another. People just have to learn to adapt to their limits in life.
