Sjogrens - eye pain/migraine
I'm getting severe headaches that are around my eyes. I wake up with my head & eyes killing me. Is this just dry eyes? My light sensitivity is off the charts. Has anyone else expierenced this? Is this a Sjogren symptom?

Levo - am I worrying too much?
First, best wishes to all for Christmas and the New Year. I have been on Levo 100 for seven or so months now - the Accord brand. I got my new order by post about ten days ago and stupidly didn't open the parcel until Christmas day, when I needed to! They sent me Teva, so I have missed two days so far

Metoprol and arrythmias
Thanks first for all the comments in the past. I have long taken Toprol (now Metoprol in the last few weeks), 16 years, before I was diagnosed with Afib recently. And I noticed, through the years, that, say, ten minutes after taking it, I felt a very brief irregularity that then went away. Do any

Ascites Long Term
Hello All, I've had Ascites now for eighteen months. At first I confused the symptoms with a hernia that I had which has since been repaired. After a visit to my GP, he told me I had IBS and gave me some pills to alleviate that. Two weeks later I was back at the GP's. This time he examined me and said

JFK - Kennedy and B12
Given the current coverage of the anniversary of the death of President Kennedy, it seems not unreasonable to post about his health issues - specifically the possibility of Pernicious Anaemia. This is a paragraph from near the end of the article. Not intended as anything other than an interesting footnote

A tooth with a life of it's own!
Hi, all. I wrote in several months ago about a painful tooth. My dentist couldn't find anything wrong with it. He finally referred me to an endodontist, and he did a root canal. Found several issues. Would have been nice if that had been the end of it, but no! The pain would not go away, and I

This is perplexing - Coffee's effectiveness on Parkinson prevention
I drank a lot of coffee from my teens until diagnosis at age 48. Yet study after study appears to support the efficacy of coffee in Parkinsons prevention. https://neurosciencenews.com/caffeine-genetics-parkinsons-24920/

Low heart rate while resting
Hey guys. I'm kinda worried about my resting heart rate. If I'm sitting or laying it can go as low as 48bpm, even in sitting. My range is mostly between 48 and 56/57. As soon as I get up my heart rate also jumps quickly and sometimes I get a bit dizzy for few seconds like you would normally get when
