I'm half blind, it's totally black in my left eye, which vision I lost from chemo, and eye surgery did not work. So I'm permanently blind, and almost lost my right vision, which took a year for my Opthomolgist surgeon to save, still is, and have all these tests done, even a sonogram, on my good eye every three months, but still have problems with both eyes. My right eye I have to physically open after I sleep each morning with my fingers, burns like hell, pain, and use dry eye drops, and sometimes steroids to help, and then sometimes it's too watery, which can be reflective from my left eye, which gets irritated, has pain, is half closed, color is dark. As a result, my depth perception is off, I misjudge stairs, curbs, cutting (yes I cut a piece of my finger off lol), pouring liquids in a glass, and I have problems typing on the iPad key pad, computer too, which fonts went to micro with a virus, and misjude the letters, and the fonts are blurred, especially in the mornings, probably after ambiem, gabaoentin, and when my glucose is high, and hemoglobin is low I see white patches which blurs my vision, and computer light bothers me. Here is another thing being a movie hobbyist, I found out I can't see in 3D. I was in all these stores looking at 3D Tv displays, and thought they were junk lol. I though about it, and ascertained I can only see in 2D. You need both eyes to see 3D. Also, I don't paste and copy. I type as if I'm speaking. Maybe edit some spell afterwards. It's all good, I'm happy, and it could be worse, but always worry about losing my vision totally. All the best, and back to HPV lol.

my pap smear was normal but what about my mouth or tonsil( I engaged in oral sex)If it didnt cause any cell change in my cervix how likely is it to cause cell changes in my Throat/Tonsils?I am also suffering from Chronic Tonsillitis. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,606 Likes: 2 Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts) | | Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts)
Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,606 Likes: 2 | Paul, forgive me for making light of it, my friend. After the first time we were joking about it, I always chuckle now. Nothing personal.
I have never had depth perception or at least since about 1964. It caused a few problems getting a license to drive. I only clipped one car in my life changing lanes so I guess I learned well.
Since I am in the iPad world these days I recognize even standard misspellings. No worries.

Science wishes it knew why the virus causes cancer some of the time and not the majority of times so unfortunately your logical questions can not be answered.

April 2006: Husband dx by dentist with leukoplakia on tongue. Oral surgeon's biopsy 4/28/06: Moderate dysplasia; pathology report warned of possible "skip effect." ENT's excisional biopsy (got it all) 5/31/06: SCC in situ/small bit superficially invasive. Early detection saves lives.
