Insomnia after taking Armour for the first time
Hi everyone! Has anyone experienced insomnia after taking Armour or another NDT for the first time? I took 1/2 grain yesterday at 8 a.m. (with STTM thinking that the starting dose is 1 grain) and could not at all fall asleep in the evening. ETA: Sorry, maybe more information is indeed needed. I have

Respiratory review
I've just come back from my review with the respiratory nurse, which I was not looking forward to, but thankfully she was a completely different person, smiling, cheerful and helpful. I was right when I thought she was unwell, as she has just returned from three months sick leave following surgery. We

Ozurdex Injection
Hi, I'm getting an ozurdex injection. I have had somewhere between 75-100 injections with Lucentis and now Eyelea. It usually takes 24 hours for my eyes to start feeling normal again. How much more does the Ozurdex hurt? And does it take longer to recover?

GGT level
I have recently abstained from drinking alcohol and find that I do not miss it. I have had a blood test to see if I have any problems. They came back clear, but I would like advise on my GGT level. My GGT result came back as, 35iu/L [<73.0] Please can anyone advise as whether this is good or bad?

Cataracts
I am 52 and have been asthmatic all my life. For much of that time I have taken inhaled steroids and occasionally Prednisalone courses. About three years ago I went to the optician for a routine appointment and they told me I was developing cataracts. They told me I was young for this to be happening

Too much input
I read your posts about being overwhelmed by lights and colors. I too have experienced similar issues. There are stores I refuse to go in because the lights cause me so much discomfort. I start sweating profusely, I get anxious, sometimes I feel myself getting angry. I have left shopping carts with

CO-PROXAMOL / DEXTROPROPOXYPHENE BASED PRODUCTS ARE BACK IN PRODUCTION!
I feel that I have been able to prove beyond any doubt that MHRA’s advice to government to ban Co-proxamol was in order to increase their income and NOT FOR DRUG SAFETY CONCERNS OR EFFICACY! Dextropropoxyphene based products are back in production in India and on the market at a very completive price

cataract surgery while on prednisolone
I am currently on 25mg of prednisolone after reducing from 60mg over nearly 2 years but have now developed rapid onset cataracts in both eyes. I am waiting for an appointment with an ophthalmologist after an urgent referral by the optician but she said it is possible than they would not operate while

Itching in one part of the body a sign of liver disease?
I have a persistent itching sensation on the left side of my rib cage. Can this be a sign of liver disease? . I am very worried about this.
