Allies Voice: Do Anti-VEGF Shots Cause Strokes?
If any of you know Allie (from Allie's Voice), this is her story of what happened to her as a result of an anti-VEGF intra-ocular.
She writes in the video description:
"All I wanted was a way to stop the progression of the retinopathy that has ensued after 23 years of living with diabetes. However because neither the FDA nor any of the companies championing their anti-VEGF intra-ocular injections are willing to admit that the $2,000 shot comes with a high possibility of a stroke the truth remains silent. Not this time, buddy!"
