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

Bad emotional day.
Yesterday was the worst day of the past five months of my PMR journey. I forgot my morning medicine when I left for work. My brain was not up to making any decisions. I cried off and on till 3. I saw my eye surgeon who then found my pressures had dropped enough so that I can have cataract surgery next

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

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

Cataracts
Getting mine done. Both eyes very bad and my 13 days on pred really made them grow. Dr said it was okay to do even if on high prednisone dose. I am off pred 7 days because rheum thinks I don’t have gca but I’m not entirely convinced and very anxious about it everyday. Anxiety taken over my life so to

Drops to replace intravitreal injections
Hi All, I attended the RSM event about development of drops to replace injections but delayed posting as promised as had cataract surgery on Monday. So far so good with surgery- it is brilliant at the moment so hoping this continues. I had to try and fit it in between Eyelea injections for BVRO. So

Ranging for 35 to 65umol. I’ve had an abdominal ultrasound Which came back normal. But the pain has still

Lungs
I have ALD and am currently on 50mg Spironolactone for ascites and 40mg Propanolol for varices. I keep getting slightly bubbly lungs when I lie down for a while and in the morning. Is this related to the ALD or entirely separate? Thanks. Wendy

Cataract surgery and CLL
My dad, 82yo, has been suffering from CLL for 7.5 years. He is on Ibrutinib, which seems to help, but he has low platellets count. He will need a cataract surgery on both eyes pretty soon. I am interested to hear others' experiences with cataract surgery while on CLL treatment.

Test result guidance
Hello all. Happy new year! I haven’t posted in a while. It’s been a hectic year of cataract surgery and elbow surgeries. Hoping 2020 will be calmer. Today I had a rheumy appointment. I was due a follow up 6 months ago but my consultant has grown a two year backlog so today I was seen by another doctor

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'
