Dry eye syndrome - and castor oil!
Some weeks ago someone posted they were using castor oil for dry eyes. I was rather sceptical that that was a good idea - it sounded as if they were putting it IN their eyes. Anyway - today I got a notification of this study of castor oil as a potential natural remedy for dry eyes: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com

Has the Pulsed Field Ablation technique increased success rate?
Although Flecainide 50mg bid has kept AF episodes to a much lower frequency, 6 in ‘23, I’d like to hear from a few more of you who have undergone this new procedure. What are the results; is the blanking period shorter; anyone had it done at Royal Bournemouth Hospital? I hear reports that it’s much

Carbomer eye gel
Good morning. I was at the ophthalmologist yesterday getting umpteen scans and things due to taking hydroxychloroquine. I have very dry eyes once the UV starts to increase (usually February so bang on time). The ophthalmologist gave me carbomer eye gel to use before I go to bed and told me to continue

wheat in cosmetics
I’m recently diagnosed with coeliac disease. I’m following a gluten free diet but have noticed that a product I bought to promote hair growth contains wheat germ amongst many other ingredients. As this product needs to be massaged into the scalp should I not use it?

Link between dry eyes and throat and PMRGCA? Any ideas?
Context: • About 20 years ago, when I was in my mid-50s, I developed dry eyes and
dry
throat. This was eventually diagnosed as ‘
dry
eye
/
dry
throat
syndrome
’. I had my tear ducts plugged to minimise loss of eye moisture and that did seem to help along with eye drops etc.

hi everyone! I am writing because I wanted to see if anybody had similar experiences. I am four months post total thyroidectomy, and in the first month or so I didn’t really feel many or any symptoms. Now in the past two months, I feel like I am feeling more symptoms of hypothyroidism than I did, in

Tirosint
Its been 10.5 months since my thyroidectomy. I was at .69 TSH on levothyroxine 100 mgs a day with mega side effects. Doctors just switched me Tirosint 88 mgs a day. Am I to expect more serious changes, again. I lost my voice, got chubby, lost hair, aged, and more. Its been a life-changing experience

Dry mouth and throat
I have a constantly dry throat and meds, probably from meds. Other than carrying water around with me whenever I go out, or a constant supply of cough sweets, does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

Propafenone Back!!!
JimF here in the U.S. A while back I posted regarding the critical shortages of Propafenone, which then bled over to shortages of Flecainide and Tikosyn.......which may continue until February. I'm happy to say that my 90 day supply of propafenone has just been refilled by my pharmacy, a truly "thank

No more propafenone!!!! What???
I'm in the U.S., diagnosed PAF ~3 years ago. Have achieved excellent control with propafenone (Rythmol). My pharmacy informed me they cannot refill my prescription, as there is a supply side problem with propafenone. From what I have read, there is a dangerous shortage of propafenone in the U.S and

Ablate or wait?
About 1 year ago I suffered with recurrent AF episodes usually overnight and they lasted from 1 hour to 5 hours. On two occasions I went to A&E and was kept in A&E overnight. I got a consultant appointment and he prescribed Flecainide 100mg twice per day and a spot on the NHS ablation waiting list.

Euthyroid Sick Syndrome
Hi everyone, Just wondering if anyone has been diagnosed with Euthyroid Sick Syndrome or thinks they may have it? I am now beginning to think that my problems are due to this and not Hypothyroidism. Am thinking of getting a reverse T3 test but it's quite expensive.This cannot be treated with meds so

Dry Eye Syndrome
I was at opthalmology today re another matter and whilst there he diagnosed
Dry
Eye
Syndrome
. He said it was most likely another autoimmune condition I had. He said it would be a lifelong condition with drops a cream for my eyes. Has anyone else with alopecia been diagnosed with this.

Thank each and every one who responded to my previous post on
dry

. I failed to include in my previous post, a terrible sensitivity to light along with the dry eyes. Any additional information greatly appreciated.

Supplements to reduce glutamate
I was inspired by Widebody's comments on taurine and glycine to look into supplements that reduce glutamate. I found the following on an autism website that I cannot vouch for, but here is the list: (those of us taking gabapentin, pregabalin, horizont are taking medicine that is reducing brain glutamate

Advice about hair loss please
Hi, so diagnosed with sub hypo 2 months ago with very raised antibodies. I've been on 50mg levo which was raised due to symptoms after a few weeks so now on 75mg. But while I have seen an improvement in other symptoms my hair is shedding even more. Can anyone advise how long does it take to calm down

Mild Sjogrens? Is that a thing?
I've googled it and I still have no idea. Lots of cross over symptoms with thyroid but I've started pondering on my dry eyes and mouth. Neither are dry to the point of pain but my husband has noticed I've developed an eye 'tic'. I'm sort of rolling my eyes and opening my eyes wide; I've realised
