RGA 314 gene therapy
my doctor asked me to participate in phase 3 RGA 314 gene therapy for macular degeneration. I received the reading material to decide if I want to enter the clinical trials. When I read the possible ricks of the procedure, this statement worried me “once RGA 314 is given to you, there may not be a way

EYE DROPS RECALLED
HI All, just thought it was a good idea to post after I read this worrying article on contaminated eye drops, the particular brands are in the US, as a user of preservative free eye drops everyday for my dry eyes, it was a good reminder to ensure I keep them clinically clean and use them only for short

Will my squint affect the outcome of the DVLA field test?
I recently advised the DVLA that I had Glaucoma and I have now received the "standard letter" from the DVLA telling me to book an appointment with Specsavers for my eyesight to be tested. I have my appointment on 27 March 2023 at 10.00am at the Totnes Branch of Specsavers. When I have had a field test

Uveitis treatment opinion please
I have been an intermediate uveitis patient ( vasculitis of the eye) for about 18 months now. Have had several steroid implants in the eye and has been on methotexrate injections for 6 months now. But the oedema due to vasculitis is coming back repeatedly. So seems like I have 2 options now in terms

Glaucoma patient
I have started using Collide silver to alleviate irritation I suffer using Glaucoma meds. I also use Optaze heat mask and wipes. I was using Hylo drops but get more relief using Collide silver. Any opinions?

Questions on PMR & GCA
The visit to my new Rheumatologist was unusual, she looked at me and just said, you don't have PMR or GCA within 5 minutes of consultation. No poking or touching. I presume because she had no results to go with we wait for tests to come back. So as to my previous post on the tests that I have just had

Intrusive thoughts of Ex
I can’t get over my ex for the life of me and it’s almost been a year . Thoughts pop up of her all day long , I get flashbacks of our relationship, fear at times , scared to leave my house since she lives close to me . What is this ? Trauma ? PTSD ? C-PTSD? It’s super sad . I’ve done EMDR

Vision Issues
I'm a GCA patient since AUG 2022, having started with 60 MG PRED and decreased slowly to 20 MG PRED at this time. Ever since starting the PRED, I have noticed that my vision is fuzzy, blurry, etc. I thought it was a side effect of the PRED. But after slowly decreasing PRED for 7 months, my vision

pramipexole shortage
I have taken pramipexole for RLS over 15 years. Before that I took Ropinirole, which lost its effectiveness. There is hardly any 0.18 mg (180 mcg) left in any Leeds pharmacies . I got just half my prescribed amount today. Without it I shall never sleep again, but be a writhing mess. One reads in the

Short course of Prednisone
I have developed some ringing in my ears and exploring all kinds of reasons for why. Had an episode of Nystagmus (dizziness) in Feb but it went away. Also seeing an eye doc to make sure eyes not related to ear ringing. Still on W&W 2.5 years. WBC is at 20. Primary care doc wants me to take a 6 day

SLT for Glaucoma
I had SLT a few years ago as my pressures were in the high 20's . An easy process done in a few minutes. My pressures dropped within days and settled at around 12/14 ever since. I later had Cataracts removed which had the additional benefit of maintaining low pressures. Ganfort drops had worked

Gel nails & UV lamps
Hope this post finds you well 🙏🏽 My younger sister has recently been diagnosed with SLE and retinal vasculitis. As it’s very new to her, we are trying to adhere to any do’s and don’ts for her condition. She recently had gel nails done, forgetting about the need to not be exposed to UV rays, and is

Beta blockers and Cosopt
I have been using Cosopt eye drops to reduce the pressure in my eyes for some time. I have been recently put onto a beta blocking tablet (isoprolol) for heart problems. As both these medicines contain beta blockers I will be getting a more of the drug in my body. What about the impact on my eye though

Epsom Salt and essential oils foot soak query
just a quick enquiry. I bought these lovely Epsom salts to give myself a relaxing foot soak but then read the list of essential oils and thought they might not be so good after all. 🤦♀️ I take flecainide, bisoprolol, warfarin and levothyroxine. Do foot soaks mean you absorb a lot of the essential

augmentation on neupro+Gabapentin. should I switch to a different dopamine agonist? All that’s helping is cannabis.
I’ve been on Neupro 1mg patches for 4+ years. I also currently take 800mg Gabapentin: 400mg twice a day. In the last month my RLS symptoms have appeared nightly beginning around 9:30pm. I’m able to fall asleep but then wake up in the middle of the night with RLS symptoms. The only thing that’s helped
