Behavioural Optometry
I had a TBI two years ago at work causing a subdural Haematoma, midline shift and a stroke as well as the effects of your brain being compressed. The fog in my head has slowly begun to lift and allow me to reflect on the changes that have happened over that time. One of many things that I now encounter

Feels like torn muscle at 2mg of pred
Hello forum friends, I have had PMR for 2 and a half years, I am now 53 years old and am moderately active. I have been on the journey of ‘dead slow’ tapering from 2.5mg to 2mg over the last 4 weeks. I currently feel like I have a torn muscle in the top of my right arm. I don’t think I did anything

Dopamine Dysregulation Syndrome
Definition here; https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopamine_dysregulation_syndrome How can docs be sure? A lot of the alleged "symptoms" would be entirely understandable from someone denied a medication that helps...and I don't get anything like euphoria from taking it...just a cessation of physical symptoms

Has anyone been in a battle about how bad their brain is?
I woke on day and brain had changed. 25 years years later and an unrelated MRI it was discovered I had a frontal lob cavernoma. But it was very small and some experts say incidental, other so no it is causing your problems. But this aside I know my memory is getting worse and it has been for the last

my day took a dive.
My brother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. His surgery early this morning revealed the cancer had spread undetected. They ended the procedure and sent him home giving him 6 months to live. Life seems random and impersonal. My son’s dog Roxie understands.

Is there a link between hemangiomas and Hughes Syndrome.
Hi, I have many autoimmune diseases as well as triple positive APs. Spinal scans have shown five hemangiomas on my spine. Another appeared on my trunk when I were in my teens and was surgically removed. Many smaller one's over the years have appeared on my scalp, face, chest and trunk. Does anyone

GCA and aneurysms
I had a chest CT scan and read the results on MyChart. They found a 4.6 aneurysmal dilation in my ascending aorta. I sent a message to my doctor yesterday regarding this and I have heard nothing! I’m quite anxious and surprised to not have heard anything back yet. I guess I’m just wondering if my

I've arranged for cleaning, for grocery and food delivery, for errand running. I will try to schedule physical therapy and gather meds

Update on my post “What should I do”, thank you for all your helpful replies. I had my COVID Jab and no after effects from that. I am seeing the Surgery Nurse to have my leg dressed twice a week.The haematoma is slow to heal due to the blood thinning medication but Hopefully it will heal soon. I heard

Bisoporol instead of Tildiem
Hoping for some advice. My wife has HCM and has had an ablation a few years ago. Her Afib seemed to calm down but recently it has increased dramatically. The ablation was carried out in London and appointments were not too difficult to obtain. We now live in Gloucestershire and it seems that getting

Visual issues; feedback on meetings with the RNIB. 1 good and 2 bad.
Contacted the RNIB and arranged two phone meetings, one with an optometrist and the other with a sight technology expert. Lets start with the bad, visual conditions. The RNIB have no expertise with visual issues after a brain injury. The page on their site about visual issues after stroke is just for

Jevtana
Once again I am asking for any information that can be provided from this great group. Would appreciate any information for Jevtana treatment. At doctor's appt yesterday, my husband's hemoglobin had decreased to 7.6 and he had to have a blood transfusion. His Alkaline Phosphatase went up again.

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage & Tinnitus
Hi I had a Subarachnoid hemorrhage 4 weeks ago with no Aneurysms or other abnormalities found after an Angiogram. I feel very lucky & grateful to be one of the lucky ones. I've been taking 5mg of Amlodipine for 2 weeks to stop BP peaking & have since had mild tinnitus. I'm seeing GP next week for BP

The most informative web page I have seen about vision loss after stroke is from the RNIB.
Hi folks was searching for info on loss of vision after TIA and came across this page from the Royal National Institute for the Blind. It's really informative so I thought I'd share it. https://www.rnib.org.uk/your-eyes/eye-conditions-az/stroke-related-eye-conditions/#what-are-some-of-the-common-visual-symptoms-of-stroke

Xylitol and thrombosis
Interesting information has been in the news lately. I have always been cautious with artificial sweeteners and have avoided them because of their potential impact on heart health. The latest news is on xylitol. I have always heard positive things about xylitol, especially regarding its ability to help
