Can I be nosey and ask those who suffer from this (symptomatically rather than pre-symptoms) what were their first signs that something was wrong?
I've got my retinopathy screening next week, I was R1 (background) in one eye last year, but recently (last week or two) have been seeing things in my peripheral vision, they aren't there permanently - just black dots (I keep thinking there's a spider on me, on my bed etc and being an arachnophobe given a scream LOL!).
I'm short sighted and wear specs, I've been doing lots of coursework/reading/computer recently too, and have been really stressed/tired this week (having another bout of trouble sleeping), so it's possible it's not related, I just wondered if it's something I should mention?
