Twitchy eye and eye ache

I am currently on lots of eye drops and Acetazolamide tablets to keep my pressure down, it was checked last week and it was down to 14 in each eye. I am now worried it’s too low…. I have obviously now become concerned about everything to do with my eyes….

Some help please…regarding waiting times

I had a laser iridotomy in November through the NHS for narrow angles this partially sealed over, I had an enlargement in March and since then my pressures have been high and I have been on the dreaded Acetazolamide and eye drops and I’ve had enough of it all.

Referral to another hospital

The downside of the meds are the pilocarpine give my a thick head and achy eyes, the Acetazolamide makes me tired (I was previously on the slow release version but you can’t get hold of this at the moment), I also get the tingly hands, face and legs.

Iopidine after SLT

I read that after having this you can have a pressure spike and was really worried because after my cataract surgery the pressure went from 20 to34 and I had to take Acetazolamide for two weeks which made me quite ill.

Advice please - post cataract surgery

I'm sort of worn out with it all, not least as I have had a pretty traumatic time of it with uncontrolled pressures, plus 3 x severe allergic reactions to drops, living with se of acetazolamide, then cancelled surgeries etc.

Acetazolamide

I have been prescribed Acetazolamide for Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension. I took it once and it made me feel so tingly everywhere all day and I hated it! It was an awful feeling. The doctors says to take a smaller dose but I’m so scared of feeling that again!

Episodic Ataxia

Knowing there is no cure I have been prescribed Acetazolamide to try and help with the symptoms. Originally at Salford Manchester a locum neurologist diagnosed me with late onset cerebellar Ataxia and sent me home with no cure and discharged me.

Bit of a rant (sorry!)

Diamox/acetazolamide for migraines

I was wondering if anyone here has tried taking acetazolamide aka diamox for migraines? I was looking at a study where women who took between 125mg and 500mg found relief. A lot of people say it didn't help them, though.
