Treatment differences for myopic macular degeneration by MDs
Hi I have been diagnosed with myopic macular degeneration. After 18 months of monthly injections my doctor left and I had to go to another. The new doctor used an angiogram and OCT test to tell me my eye was no longer leaking blood and I did not need an injection. Two days later I had my last appointment

Definitely have pulmonary hypertension caused by lung disease. Now I have to wait for an appointment to discuss it all . The care I had

Cataract surgery
I have finally managed to contact the Ophthalmology department and actually arrange a date for surgery. It has been so difficult that I think they live in old mineshaft somewhere in the valleys, but when you contact them eventually they are so lovely and helpful. Anyway have got a date, 14th November

Drinking alcohol with nodular regenerative hyperplasia
Is ok to drink alcohol, half a glass of beer for example, if diagnosed with liver nodular regenerative hyperplasia?

#TalkAboutCharlesBonnet
We have launched a campaign to raise awareness of visual hallucinations caused by sight loss, known as Charles Bonnet Syndrome. We are always keen to highlight that these hallucinations are a natural experience and not a sign of mental illness. We are encouraging people to talk more about their hallucinations

Neurology Appointment Today
A couple of months back I wrote a post telling this community that my GP cut off my oxycodne cold turkey. The appointment was to obtain surgical clearance for cataract surgery. The first night off the oxy I only slept 35 minutes (I wear a fitbit tracker) and for 24 days I never slept more than a hour

Recently diagnosed
I have ITP -immune thrombocytopenic purpura - and taking the steroid Prednisolone for about 5 weeks. I was told this could raise my glucose and my HbA1c shows a read of 6.9 or 52mm. I have been asked to see the Doctor. Is this high?

worried about cataracts
I have AMD in both eyes the right dry the left wet with central vision loss and cataracts in both eyes and have been told by the eye hospital that I have been discharged from further routine follow up, and to contact my optometrist if I notice any worsening of my vision, I can only assume that either
