Wanted to keep anyone that is following this thread up to date. My wife had another visit with the Dr's at U of Iowa today. Her eyes have stabilized and are where they were (and maybe a little better) during her last visit. The Dr saw some improvement in her images, a few of the small areas of pooling that were still there have cleared up. The only concern since her last visit is the problem she had with a large kidney stone about 6 weeks ago. The Dr's are a little concerned that the kidney stones could be a side effect of her medication. He is going to confer with some other Dr's and let us know. The Dr's are fairly confident with her treatment. So much so, that we don't have another appointment until next March.. (unless she notices a problem) I hope everyone else is doing well.

Clinical Trials


Cords registry

CoRDS, or the Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford, is based at Sanford Research in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It provides researchers with a centralized, international patient registry for all rare diseases. This program allows patients and researchers to connect as easily as possible to help advance treatments and cures for rare diseases. The CoRDS team works with patient advocacy groups, individuals and researchers to help in the advancement of research in over 7,000 rare diseases. The registry is free for patients to enroll and researchers to access.

Enrolling is easy.

  1. Complete the screening form.
  2. Review the informed consent.
  3. Answer the permission and data sharing questions.

After these steps, the enrollment process is complete. All other questions are voluntary. However, these questions are important to patients and their families to create awareness as well as to researchers to study rare diseases. This is why we ask our participants to update their information annually or anytime changes to their information occur.

Researchers can contact CoRDS to determine if the registry contains participants with the rare disease they are researching. If the researcher determines there is a sufficient number of participants or data on the rare disease of interest within the registry, the researcher can apply for access. Upon approval from the CoRDS Scientific Advisory Board, CoRDS staff will reach out to participants on behalf of the researcher. It is then up to the participant to determine if they would like to join the study.

Visit sanfordresearch.org/CoRDS to enroll.
