Both Thiamine Mononitrate and Thiamine Hydrochloride are sources of Thiamine (vitamin B1).

I have a repeated chalazion that comes up on the lid of that eye, and it's in the process of flaring now. Has anyone been given guidance on how long we should leave using microwavable compresses

Does anyone get double or blurred vision for a short time after taking either apixaban or Bisoprolol?

I have been receiving injection in my eye since September 2019, for what I thought was a gramuloma in the macula.. I asked the nurse today what I have a she said macular degeneration. The eye dr never mentioned this to me, she just kept telling me injection were for fluid or odema ... I am worried

In continuation to my previous three posts ( which you must read ), I am pleased to post my fasting blood sugar readings. The screen also shows my vitamin B12 & vitamin D level .

I’ve been on Actemra injections over 3 seems like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. I really am against using Prednisone

Quick question. I have been told by my rheumatologist , that I will be on Actemra and 5mg pred for the rest of my life. I visited an eye doc for some problems with my eyes, and he was very surprised to find out I was still on prednisone after 2 years of my diagnosis. I know things are different over

Re Blue Toe Syndrome. I have been on Apixaban for 4 years now and only had 2 bouts of AF , fingers crossed.

I’ve been giving myself my Actemra injection every Monday morning at 7:00 am. By 10:00 I feel like a freight train has hit me- not sick just really tired. I’m thinking maybe I should inject at night. Anyone else feel like this? Is it alright to inject at night?
