Out of the woods?
Hello all, I posted recently expressing concerns about the health of my liver following an extended period of heavy drinking. I did experience some symptoms, be they real or imagined but regardless, the extent of my drinking coupled with knowledge that cirrhosis is often asymptomatic in its early stages

A Pickle Can Never Be A Cucumber Again..
Hi there! :) It's me..Kimberly. Lately, and in the past, I have seen some posts mentioning alcohol, alcoholism and heavy drinking. I often respond to those posts and try to offer advice and compassion. But, I thought that I might write a post that could help someone with questions about drinking, or

Cataracts and AMD
Hello everyone, I have been fortunate in getting my favourite doctor for my last 2 injections, so not too much in the way of after effects. Still convinced that it makes a difference who does the injection. I have noticed that a number of people with AMD have had cataract surgery. When my optometrist

GCA, Prednisone and is elective surgery ok?
Hello! Your site is fantastic, the information you share. I've learned so much in just the day I've been on it. I'm 52, diagnosed with GCA in February. My question to you right now....Has anyone had surgery while on the prednisone? This will be laser eye surgery to try and regain sight in an eye

In this study, we will determine whether treatment with L- Dihydroxyphenylserine (L-DOPS, Northera) in addition to dopaminergic drugs will improve postural stability and activity of daily living, and reduce fall risk and/or severity of falls in PD patients.Falls, early in PD (within 5 years of diagnosis

Hi. I was diagnosed as having the early sign of dry AMD a year ago aged 55, I had cataract surgery on both my eyes in my mid 40s.
