No, you are not alone. I have had lupus for 35 years. I have no vision in
my right eye from optic neuritis since around 1980. My right hip was
replaced around two years ago because of avascular necrosis. I've had two
femural bypasses, one because of a clot that developed during the hip
surgery. It was strange, waking from an operation on the right hip with the
left leg completely paralyzed and being rushed back to the OR. The TM came
after the optic neuritis and the first bypass but before the hip. (This
probably sounds like an awful whine but how else to talk about multiple
health problems.)

Patti, would you mind my asking what Hype C is and what is affecting your
eyesight?
