Sure sounds like M. S. and therefore he might not have macular degeneration.
Prayers for Glenn Beck.

Prayers up for Glenn.
MS -— my first thoughts too. Or maybe this is his exit strategy to retire to a ranch in Montana (joking)
Maybe Vitamin B12 Deficiency/Pernicious Anemia?
http://www.medicinenet.com/pernicious_anemia/page3.htm#symptoms
“Vitamin B-12 deficiency affects the nervous system, leading to a variety of symptoms. Sometimes, these may be apparent before symptoms related to the anemia. Neurological symptoms vary and may be nonspecific (meaning that these are symptoms that can be caused by a number of different conditions). Feelings of numbness, tingling, weakness, lack of coordination, clumsiness, impaired memory, and personality changes can all occur. Both sides of the body are usually affected, and the legs are typically more affected than the arms. A severe deficiency can result in more serious neurological symptoms, including severe weakness, spasticity, paraplegia, and fecal and urinary incontinence.”

Knew a doctor whose symptoms were numbness of hands and feet. Ironically, had everybody stumped for quite a while. Luckily, the B12 shots did the trick.
Blood sugar issues is my guess.
If we do all we can, and ask God for His help, we're far better off, I've found, anyway.

Yes, I heartily concur with this request.
God is to be the first response we make, not the after thought, or sorta like buying an insurance policy when one is feeling poorly in some way.
We know Jesus was attacked, persecuted, and he suffered. We are told we will have persecutions, and that ‘they first hated me ... and they will hate you’, paraphrased.
Let us call on the LORD daily in love and gratitude, and not simply in a time of need.
Father God, help us in our day, in Jesus name, amen.

I did just pray for Glenn Beck, but I prayed earnestly for his salvation.
He needs to be gotten rid of the false, counterfeit religion that he holds to.
Mormonism is a trap, a sweet-scented honeytrap of deception.
I agree. That was my first thought when this otherwise healthy man started to lose his sight. Now this. Who knows the lengths the left would go to stop the work that Glenn and his staff is doing.
He needs to cut back on the Pie.
You're a little quick to call me a "little quick."
I'm not refuting MS or diagnosis.
I'm questioning an unsourced post of an anomymous email about someone who just had a hoax created about them going blind.
Pretty reasonable skepticism if you ask me.
lol, yeah
Beck announced over the summer that he was having vision problems. Now he announced he’s having some additional symptoms. I interpreted your post that you were saying they were hoaxes. Sorry if I misunderstood.

Beck has done a lot of good work, but this is also a reason why I don’t watch or listen to him very much. As someone earlier pointed out, he said he almost died during a short hospital stay a couple of years back. Now he must go through these current health conditions symptom by symptom on national radio before there is even a diagnosis. He is undeniably something of a drama queen. Most people would say little to a wide audience until they had a definite diagnosis.
As others have said, diabetes or blood sugar problems in general can cause all these symptoms. Maybe it isn’t too serious.
I’m assuming that his doctors have run tests to rule out things like diabetes or a tumor.
Color me confused. I thought PN (Peripheral Neuropathy) was typified by burning, tingling, and sometimes pain as in walking on nails? As opposed to Beck’s loss of feeling?
Google statin leg tingles. Wonder if he does any statin?
