Webinar - Biosimilars

Patients are starting to be offered the cheaper anti-VEGF drugs, as existing medicines are no longer subject to patent Biosimilars are important as copying a successful medicine is much quicker and cheaper than developing a new one as the original has already been proven to work.

NHS and 2nd potential anti vegf

I paid to go privately for my first anti vegf injection and the consultant said he would slot me into his nhs clinic for the second but due to probably the jubilee BH my second one will be 5 weeks 2 days after the first - if I need it.

myopic CNV update- 4 months on…

It’s the newer studies I look at which incorporate the more recent anti vegf injections into them. Luckily my vision seems ok-20/20 in my bad eye (bit of distortion in the centre remains) but I can’t just about make out the smaller letters and 6/4 in my good eye (corrected with contacts).

Timeframe for antivegf injections…

They have classed me as needing an appt in a few weeks but I m aware that the anti vegf injections need to be done in a time frame! Can anyone say what the time frame is? I think NICE recommend within 2 weeks.

CSR and strabismus surgery. Plus benefits of CBD for CSR

But this got me thinking I’m wonder if on a daily basis you eat a dose of anti-VEGF foods like the big seven kale yada yada yada but you do it every day.

anti d late…

My midwife is anything but dynamic and hasn’t bothered to book my anti d injection despite knowing it was coming up to being due… she even mentioned it at the last appointment. Anyway, transpires she hasn’t booked and now the hospital are saying they have no appointments for at least another fortnight

worried about Anti D!!

Hey everyone, I’m 20 weeks pregnant and been told I’ll need Anti D at 28 weeks. I cut my finger tonight whilst slicing vegetables and did the silly thing of sucking my finger, and I’m just wondering if I need to contact the out of hours midwives to get my Anti D early. I know this probably sounds absolutely

RA Bad in Feet - But Feet Not in DAS - So No New Meds

I’ve had RA for 5 years and been on sulfasalazine and methotrexate, but the ends of both my feet and all the toes are red and swollen and it’s becoming painful to walk. They have been swollen for coming up to 4 years and the Rheumy doctor is pretty sure it’s RA. I’ve tried an anti-TNF inhibitor adalimumab

What treatment worked best for Seronegative Inflammatory Arthritis?

Hiya I'm a newbie to NRAS, and had lots of side effects with various treatments for SNIA (Seronegative Inflammatory Arthritis). I am just about to restart taking Baricitinib after trying Methx, Sulfzine, Tocilizumab (infusions), Benepali, etc All of the above didn't last in terms of efficacy. I did

Treatment Options??

Due to other underlying medical conditions & disabilities I am unable to go on any hormonal medication (oestrogen or progesterone). I can't take NSAIDS. I've had scans etc and had laparoscopy surgery for the endo but ablation not excision due to other medical conditions. I am in more pain than ever now

CLOTTED MENSTRUAL CYCLE EVERY MONTH?

Before I was diagnosed last year I began getting clotted periods, I would get maybe one day or two of normal non-clotted but very bright red blood. It would then darken but only slightly and then it was mainly stringy clots. I currently have to use a Super+ tampon PLUS Depends each cycle just to so I

I couldn't wait any longer, this is our second IVF round and second transfer and I've been feeling the pressure because we have male factor AND my AMH and AFC is so low despite only being in my early 30s, so time is running out for us and the chances of success for us was low.

Ectopic and 2 failed IVF

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting. I haven't seen many posts that are similar to my story, so I thought I'd share in the hope of helping someone out there. In Dec 2020 I discovered I was pregnant, just before my 37 birthday. At 6 weeks it was discovered it was ectopic and I had a fallopian
