Hypermobility/HEDS recommendation?
Hi there. Thanks for taking the time to read my post. I posted on the EDS forum but it’s not very active and no response yet. I have recently been diagnosed with PoTs and have fibromyalgia and erythromelalgia. I’m in the watch and wait category I believe for auto immune inc lupus but at my recent autonomics

travaprost (Travatan) side effect
I have started Travatan drops nightly for ocular hypertension, high pressure in eyes. Had 4 doses so far. They are causing painful sensitivity to light overnight and in the morning. It has slowly decreased over an hour or two but until then it is painful and distressing. Will this improve over time

Recommendations for an EDS specialist in London?
Hi there. Thanks for taking the time to read my post. I have recently been diagnosed with PoTs and I also have fibromyalgia and erythromelalgia. At my recent autonomics appointment my hyperflexible joints were mentioned and I was asked if I'd been assessed for hypermobile EDS. I would like to find someone

recommendations for high cholesterol med please
I stopped taking my cholesterol meds in November, just tested again and it's now 371. For RLS I'm now on gabapentin (100mg) and .5mg requip (need to transition off). My RLS is the best it's been in years! However, my doc wants me to continue to take the pravastatin (80mg) for the high cholesterol

struggling with feelings when people announce pregnancy
Me and my partner have been trying for over a year. We are at the stage where we have been referred to a fertility specialist and waiting blood tests and sperm analysis results. Everytime someone I am close to announces they are pregnant I take it really bad which my partner doesn’t understand why. One

Vasculitis of the eye
I have vasculitis of the eye and have steroid implants in the eye. Now the ozurdex implant is wearing away and the oedema is back in the eye. The immunosuppressant ( metothexrate) which is I was using for 16 weeks has not managed to stop the oedema. Till ozurdex was present, oedema was at bay. Now that

ANTIBIOTICS AND EYLEA INJECTION ARE THEY COMPATIBLE?
I may have to have a course of antibiotics from my dentist at the same time or close to an Eylea injection. Is this OK or can they affect each other? Should there be a time space between? Many thanks in advance

Heated Dry Eye Mask
I'm wondering if its safe to use a heated eye mask for dry eye after trabulectomy surgery? I had the op 5 months ago. I had been using a microwave mask before the trab but its heavy on the eye so thought a USB type heated lightweight mask might be better. I'm suffering with very irritated eyes especially

While I remember….
While I was sharing a four bay ward post hip replacement, two ladies - who had a total knee replacement and the other a half knee replacement - told me that although, like me, they had a spinal block plus sedation they both could hear the sawing and hammering and what the surgeons were saying…. but

trabeculectomy
I am reluctant to have a trabeculectomy after cataract operation and I stent did not help and glasses cannot correct vision to read. My left eye is better following same operation about two years ago.

Pregnenolone
hi everyone I just wondered if there was anyone taking Pregnenolone and to hear your experiences with it? Dr M an ex GP who now ‘prescribes’ it as part of her protocol, recommended I take it due to 4-point saliva test showing a low cortisol and low DHEA ( just one within minimum) and to be honest,

RLS and antidepressants
I’d be grateful for advice on this, as I feel I would benefit from an antidepressant. I’ve had RLS for decades, getting gradually more of a nuisance in the last 10 years or so, and have taken Codeine 30mg for several years, which helps to an extent, sometimes! I know antidepressants make RLS worse. I

Monopost eye drops .
I wondered if anyone had any experience of using these at all . I do think they’re helping with my closed angle Glaucoma . Not quite sure if it’s acute or chronic as 2 different consultants that I’ve seen have different opinions . Unfortunately the clinic I go to is an American owned one and used by

Bye Bye Tramadol
Since I started methadone a couple months ago, I understand better about the difficulties I started to have with Tramadol. BTW, I went cold turkey off Tramadol, because methadone would negate it anyway. I realize now that after 4-5 years on Tramadol I was augmenting badly. I didn't realize what was
