Experiences with

Dry eye syndrome

I am 60 yrs old and have dry eye syndrome . I’ve had for a good number of years now.

I have been using flecainide as PIP to stop afib episodes. So far it is working. But could propafenone be used in a similar fashion since they are similar. Has anyone ever done this

Hi all, I saw my ophthalmologist yesterday who said I may benefit from tear duct plugs for my dry eyes. I said no for now as I never tolerated contact lenses with my eyes and think I will struggle with these too. Has anyone had them in and what are your experiences good and bad? I am currently using

Has anyone been prescribed this antiarrhythmic? Due to the flecainide not working for me, my doctor wants me to go on this drug. I’m really hesitant to try another drug because of the Flecainide not working. Just wondering if anyone has ever tried this medication and if so, did it work?

hi everyone, Thought I would give an update. I had the cryo-ablation on the 13th of May. i felt fairly uncomfortable over the first few weeks, but thanks to all the support and info on here, I have got through it without panic. the main thing is pacing myself and not overdoing it. Get enough

I continue to have badly blocked ears and a runny nose for several weeks. I’ve only managed to see paramedics rather than a GP about it. I haven’t used any nasal sprays (other than saline) but would like to try anti-allergy medication such as antihistamine. Yet I’ve read that “A few common stimulating

So far I am of the conclusion that: because my potassium is low that my AMLOPIDINE should be replaced with either : A: Inderal B: Hemangeol C: InnoPran D: Monoket E: Imdur

Some weeks ago someone posted they were using castor oil for dry eyes. I was rather sceptical that that was a good idea - it sounded as if they were putting it IN their eyes. Anyway - today I got a notification of this study of castor oil as a potential natural remedy for dry eyes: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com

Although Flecainide 50mg bid has kept AF episodes to a much lower frequency, 6 in ‘23, I’d like to hear from a few more of you who have undergone this new procedure. What are the results; is the blanking period shorter; anyone had it done at Royal Bournemouth Hospital? I hear reports that it’s much

This set of links popped up today and I thought it was worth posting about. Many of us DO have dry eyes and it is clear from these articles that it isn't taken seriously enough by either doctors or patients. Treatment is crucial to prevent longterm damage to the cornea and improve quality of life - and

Good morning. I was at the ophthalmologist yesterday getting umpteen scans and things due to taking hydroxychloroquine. I have very dry eyes once the UV starts to increase (usually February so bang on time). The ophthalmologist gave me carbomer eye gel to use before I go to bed and told me to continue

I’m recently diagnosed with coeliac disease. I’m following a gluten free diet but have noticed that a product I bought to promote hair growth contains wheat germ amongst many other ingredients. As this product needs to be massaged into the scalp should I not use it?
