Wet AMD and Dry AMD
Hello. I was diagnosed with wet AMD in my left eye and possible dry AMD in my right eye. Possible because my specialist saw drusen in my right eye but my eye doctor before him saw drusen also for the past 25 years. As long as nothing changes it should be good he said. I am just curious has anyone been

Changing Medication
Hi I’m just looking for some advice on Targinact and just Oxycodone please. My neurologist wrote to my GP requesting that I be prescribed Targinact 10mg at night and 5mg mornings increasing if necessary by 5mg increments to maximum of 20mg twice a day, also changing the Venlafaxine I take to either

Home pressure monitor to hire?
Hi all,So 17 months after my trab surgery after everything has been stable, suddenly I'm getting frequent terrible headaches. My local optician tested my pressure for me but by the time I had the appointment the headache had subsided. The pressure was raised by 5 points so my hunch is it was on its way

Help - kindling?
As described in my other posts, my dopamine agonist withdrawal is awful. I suffer from DAWS, and I've done several stays in an hospital neurology service, and they are doing their best to help me, but something is awfully wrong. I got out of the hospital the day after yesterday. Yesterday, I had a

Cataract surgery?
Has anyone had any cataract surgery while taking Pegasys? Is there a problem with eye surgery while taking Interferon? I'm about to be changed over to Pegasys from Hydrea, and also about to have cataract surgery. Some of the things I've read seem to indicate that may be a problem.

My response to the AASM Guidelines For RLS
I am posting this in the hope that it helps in forming your own response and if you agree with some of them, including them in your own response might help them pay more attention to them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lexapro and RLS
Has anyone with RLS started taking Lexapro for anxiety? If yes, did it have any affects on your RLS? My RLS is pretty well controlled at this time with minimal drugs (100 mg Gabapentin) after finally getting off Pramipexole. I also use Melatonin, Valarian Root, and CBN. But most helpful, I think,

Double vision episode
Just had one. First since November 2021. Then I was on high dose pred for GCA, coming down. Continued to taper quite successfully, eventually to zero in November 2022. But PMR followed, so went onto 15mg pred, tapering again quite successfully. Down to 5 mg since 6th February. Clearly no blood test

A shunt or not?
has anyone had the experience of having a shunt put in their eye for glaucoma at the same time as a cataract operation? I’ve had one very successful cataract operation and I’m about to have the second. The consultant wants to put in a shunt as the pressure in that eye is 22, Have never had any

Fibro and Sjogrens
Hi all, I've been diagnosed with fibro for 8 years, but for last few months I've felt so much worse, with new symptoms of really painful dry red eyes, extremely dry mouth, dry skin with rashes and dry cough, and increased pain and fatigue. My gp says it's sjogrens, an autoimmune disease, and referred

Return of acid reflux and digestion symptoms
After suffering from a continuous period of acid reflux and digestion symptom and taking several different PPIs which made it worse, I had an endoscopy and was diagnosed with Helibacter Pylori and mild gastritis.

1.5 mgs now blood tests all over the place
So I am into my third year with pmr. I have been at 1.5 mg prednisone for 2 weeks and had my quarterly bloodwork done. Ana is now positive. It was negative last quarter. I am positive for Sjogrens but I don't have any symptoms. Is this because of my lower dosage? I am a little stiff and slow , but

Vision in the recovery weeks ( and long term) after a trabeculectomy.
I have had narrow angle glaucoma for over 10 years and despite years of drops and a laser iridotomy in both eyes my glaucoma is slowly progressing. My sight loss in my left eye is not too bad at all ( patchy small areas) but I do feel my central vision is not as good in my left eye ( no cataract or other

First MS Neuro Appointment!
Neuro confirmed in person that I have MS. I have RRMS. To get me out of the current flare, I started steroid infusions today, and will do 3 days of it. I am hopeful that it will really help. I'm looking forward to seeing what my 'new normal' is (more like impatiently waiting for this flare to be over

Travelling with opioids
Hello everyone, Last May I flew to Chicago with gabapentin & low dose oxycodone in my hand luggage with prescription attached with no problems. In 2 weeks I will be flying to Phoenix, Arizona & now am on low dose buprenorphine instead of oxycodone. Has anyone had problems flying to the US carrying low

Dipyridamole working great
I started taking gabapentin 900mg at bedtime 15 yrs ago, recently switched to 600mg at 9pm and midnight. Not much benefit. Probably developed a tolerance over the years. Started tramadol 50-100mg at bedtime a month ago, some relief but was concerned about addiction with long term use. Showed the dipyridamole

Any last advice before I embark on the battle to try Buprenorphine? Should I increase my pregabalin dose?
I'd be really grateful for any thoughts on remaining treatment options before I start waging war with my GP practice to try Buprenorphine. I took my last ropinirole tablet in May 2023 (after augmentation after 11 years), and have since been taking 300mg pregabalin (150mg at 8pm, 150mg at 10.30pm), together
