Saw a different Dr & she said that they weren’t too bad, not any immediate rush to get them done'. Same dept, same hospital but diff Dr! She also took my eye pressures- not had

intraocular bleed on Apixaban
I had a posterior vitreous detachment in my eye a few weeks ago. This is very common when you get older and is not usually dangerous. I already had this once, but this was before my Afib diagnosis and Apixaban. This time I was told by the ophthalmologist that I had had three minor bleeds and in fact

Cataracts & GCA
I was diagnosed with GCA in January this year & currently on 20 mg Pred - trying to taper down. I wear glasses & was told by my Optician in Oct last year that I had the beginnings of cataracts ('age related') - I'm 64. I then had them tested again in April this year as the blurriness I had experienced

Back Trauma significantly worsening RLS - anyone else?
Running through some posts on this board, I followed a thread to this website: https://www.rlshelp.org/. Within it, there is a section where he writes, "There have been many anecdotal reports of patients developing RLS (or having very significant worsening of their pre-existing mild RLS) after surgery

I'm home! Mitral Valve repair went well. I'm so tired though.
Just an update about my Mitral Valve repair surgery I had on 21st June .Surgery went well but the Bronchitis chest infection I had been fighting for 3 weeks prior to Surgery reared it's ugly head again due to being on the ventilator. I'm now completely resting at home. My mind is willing though

Am I expecting too much from my clinic?
I have been on a rollercoaster of emotions which has just peaked in a major breakdown and we haven't even started IVF yet. I feel this is due to the clinic messing me about. I had a hycosy which showed tubes blocked. Waited 6 months for laproscopy which confirmed but surgeon said he managed to unblock

Looking for friends who have gone through prostate cancer
It's been 10 years since I had my prostatectomy. I was 57 at the time and it was a robotic surgery which fortunately saved my sexual nerves. As you all know nothing is the same after surgery. I now live in Florida. When I lived in Manhattan there was a rather large support group and I had developed
