Help please is it possible in a month for the angle to change from narrow to wide open angles? This just doesn’t make sense to me.
Hello again, Well I am still in the system waiting for my next appointment on July 4th. My new consultant says I now have treated primary narrow angles, does that mean the laser has worked is this what opens the angles? My letter on 17th April stated the following: This was 6 Weeks after 2nd

Upcoming Trabeculectomy
I've put a couple of posts on here, mainly about driving and my troubles with Specsavers and the DVLA. I'm currently still driving after getting a 12 month licence back on appeal. My latest visits to my consultant have revealed that my pressures are rising in both eyes ([i]I have advanced closed angle

Weaning off high dose Pramipexole
I have had RLS since the 1970s. Some years ago I had augmentation. At the time I was taking the maximum recommended dose of Pramipexole, .75mg. My neurologist addressed it by a pramipexole vacation and prescribed carbidopa levodopa for 3 months. Seemed odd as it is a dopamine drug but it worked

Going off Horizont help
The 600mg Horizont started causing the same alerting that the pregabalin and gabapentin had so my very understanding primary care doctor suggested clonodine. Started last night, while staying on the 600mg Horizont and had a good night, so the plan was to reduce the Horizont to 300mg for 4 days and then

DVLA /SPECSAVERS
Hi everyone -after reading of so many people and their awful experience with Specsavers and having licences revoked- and I am so fearful for my own future in this regard as we just never know! I contacted the administrators of this group to see if they could help or raise issues on our behalf and I

Woo hoo I've finally smashed it!
Set off at 7am, still 18C, can you believe it? I told myself this was just another run and if it was too warm to go the distance, well the graduation run would still be there for another day. A few minutes in and I've hit my happy pace. My music was calming overlaid by beautiful birdsong. Then the 15

US doctor discusses ways to prevent PD
US doctor discusses ways to prevent PD. The estimate is 15% of PwP have a genetic cause and 85% is from environmental exposure to chemicals. Some have been discussed here. I don't think TCE has been. It was used in dry cleaning and semiconductor processing, but for many years now the US and Japan

Pegasys Injection Help
Anyone use insulin needles to inject Pegasys? It appears to be exactly the same other than it says "units" where my prescription calls out "mls". However they both measure out the same. .25ml = 25units Thanks!

Oxycodone
Hello everyone & especially Sue & Jules. I have now had 4 blissful months sleep on 10mg of Oxycodone.I have now successfully reduced my gabapentin from 2,100 to 1,500mg. But am now starting to get one breakthrough session of rls a night & am worried it will get worse. Should I stop reducing the gabapentin

Hypothetical question re Pramipexole
Just hypothetically. if I had no symptoms of RLS at age 50 what is the probability of my developing the disease at age 60 or 70? If at age 50 with no symptoms I started to take a regular dose of pramipexole for some other reason what is the probability having a reaction that would appear to fit

DVLA licence renewal
Two years ago I had to inform the DVLA that I had developed glaucoma in both eyes. It was a very stressful time as I had a trabeculectomy, corrective surgery and cataract removal before embarking on the vision test. The Specsavers team was very helpful in deferring my test until I felt ready to take

What To Do Next?
Hi Friends, First post here, although I've come back to this forum a few times. I'm at a spot where, even though I know it's untrue, I feel like I'm experiencing anxiety like no one has ever experienced it before (we all know the lonely feeling). I've been dealing with this for about a year an a half

magnesium
I’ve been a RLS sufferer since 2006. I am on (4 x 1mg) and Gabapentin (7 x 300mg) daily. I fully sympathise with anyone who suffers from this debilitating condition. There have been times I’ve not wanted to be here. There is only so much you can cope with! Recently I heard that Magnesium was good for
