WET AMD on a third world country
Hello, I'm from Philippines. I'm just 23 and I'm sure that I have a wet macular degeneration. On my left eye. It's totally dark or wavey on the central line. It's like there's a fluid on my eye when I look around. My right eye is starting to have the same symptoms. I've been suffering this for almost

Injections for life? Will health insurance or NHS pay?
I am "only" 53 and have needed to have 2 Eylea injections in my left eye to resolve a slight bleed. So far, so good, but I am wondering if I will need regular injections for the rest of my life? Has anyone else found that a few injections can stop the macular degeneration in its tracks? Also, will my

Difference after injection between Lucentis & Eyelea
After having Lucentis injections monthly for most of the last 2 to 3 years it was felt that a switch to Eyelea might help. Had the second set of injections a couple of days ago and I feel that my eyesight is slightly worse after the injections which is not something I felt with the Lucentis injections

Please help me understand these results
Hello, everyone. I am confused. The results of my last test and current cholesterol test results show my LDL HDL ratio is 3.3. But looks like everything is out of whack.. If I understand correctly. You are supposed to take the total cholesterol number and divide it by Your HDL Result and that is actually

I know that this is a little premature as I still have a long way to go tapering my Prednisone, but does anyone have info on tapering Actemra.

Hello All, My FBS has increased quite a bit for the last 10 days. It use be in the range of 90s (mg/dL). It suddenly increased to 120 mg/dL one day early last week. Ever since for the last 10 days or so, it is staying 100+(mg/dL). I have not made any major changes in my diet or physical activities. Yesterday

Apixaban
Hi, has anyone had spinal anaesthesia for surgery whilst taking Apixaban. I know I will have to stop taking it 48 hours prior to surgery. I thought I had seen somewhere that’s it’s not safe and I want to have my facts right before seeing anesthetist on Thursday.

Cataracts and hypothyroidism
I did my 6 month check up with Rheumy for psoriatic arthritis and as always she puts the flashlight in my eyes and this time she did it and sat back looked through my health record and started asking me the following questions. 1. Do you have trouble driving at night (Yes) 2. Do bright lights bother

Cataract Operation. A success so far
Five years with GCA and all the usual side effects of pred. One eye diagnosed in need of a cataract operation. That filled me with all sorts of fear and panic for months, even though I was assured that it was painless. Came the day last Friday at Whipps Cross Hospital in East London. It could not have

They will rebuild me !
Some of you may know, after a bad fall last year that resulted in my badly smashing both wrists, I’ve needed to have surgery to rebuild them. I had the surgery done in my left wrist in September and then straight into gallbladder removal at the beginning of December. I now have my date for my ankle replacement

Just chatted with a gentleman with GCA
A friend told me she had a friend who's husband lost his sight completely due to GCA and gave me his phone number after giving him a heads-up. He is 79 also and lost his sight 15 years ago. He said he suddenly lost one eye but his doctor was so apprehensive about prednisone that he was never 'hit'

If you take Azilect, read this
I have had a cold now for 10 days. Last night I developed a bad cough, so I took some Dextromethorphan caps that I have in the house. Previously I had been prescribed Azilect, but my insurance denied to authorize payment. Thank G-d. This morning, I checked Dextromethorphan on the internet (I'm a retired

Fructosamine test
The difference in the tests is that the Fructosamine measures the average over a period of 2-3 weeks, while the HbA1C measures the average over a period of 2-3 months. The HbA1C test reveals more long-term glucose control, while the fructosamine test reveals short-term. Fructosamine testing may be used
