Article on steroid side effects (dated Nov 2018)
Albeit not a new paper but in context still significant. (??) The diagnosis of cataracts in steroid users may be because those on steroids tend to have more eye exam. (Which reminds me to book my next.) https://www.practicalpainmanagement.com/resources/news-and-research/polymyalgia-rheumatica-steroid-side-effects-new-findings

Possible UTI at time of Lucentis Injection
Hi guys, I am due to have my lucentis injection tomorrow (right eye WMD, left dry MD). I also have the symptoms of a UTI. I get them regularly due a kidney disease I have. I'll tell the hospital of course, and see my GP, but I wondered if anyone had any experience of turning up with a systemic

Back to square one but grateful
Hello friends, having already reported that I’d attempted to reduce my Ropinirole medication prior to my visit to see the GP one back on 6mg tablets spread throughout the day and night, Sue agreed that it was probably the best course of action and I’m again getting some much needed sleep and the pains

Pilocarpine
I am already using Cosopt (twicde a day) and Monopost (once a day) but pressure still a bit too high so have been prescribed pilocarpine in addition (four times a day). Interested to hear from anyone who isusing Pilocarpine especially re side effects. Bit worried to read that it can cause retinal detachment

Today I feel great!
Yesterday I had some minor surgery but under general anaesthetic. I don’t know if it is the anaesthetic, the oramorph glug I had post op or the day of complete rest, but today, I feel like I did before FMS, RLS and PLMD came to stay! I even slept completely between wee breaks! Long may it last!!!

Hydroxychloroquine staining
I was prescribed a daily dose of hydroxychloroquine, alongside weekly methotrexate, when I was diagnosed with RA and Sjogrens 7 years ago. Two years ago I developed grey patches on the skin of my shins, which look like bruises but aren't tender to touch. I contacted my rheumatologist and sent photos

DET fail, 6th transfer attempt - what now?
Help! I have just found out my sixth transfer of my 7th and 8th embryos has failed. I have had one pregnancy that ended in miscarriage at 7 weeks and the rest have all been failed implantations. For the last two transfers i have been on an immune protocol so doctor thinks we have that side covered.

Scaly skin on eyelid, itchy and red conjunctiva
Hi all, hope everyone is well :) I've been feeling pretty good lately, and I'm due for another blood test to determine my NDT dose soon. The puffiness in my eyes and face have continued to improve, and the difference is quite noticeable. All of that being said, however, I noticed around the beginning

ropinirole
I have been taking ropinirole for more than 40 years. 1 mg at night. It works for me but now I am terrified because apparently it has been withdrawn and I can’t get it in any of the farmacias in the Valencia region. I tried gabapentin - no effect at wll. I gave just been prescribed pregabalin and didn

Best mobile phone for Ataxia?
hi all, my brother suffers badly with his eyes, the blurry vision has gone worse and he’s struggling to read books or watch telly. He uses an “old school” mobile phone since he cannot stand the glare from smartphone screens. What mobile phones do you recommend? I’d like to get him a new one as this

Now on Gabapentin, not sure about it.
I have had rls for over 30 years, and many years ago I was given Pramipexole. I refused to increase the dose, so my GP begrudgingly gave me Tramadol. Like the Prami it worked for a while, then stopped working. GP offered my Ropinerole, I declined, he said there was no other option. Long story short

Who here have the same problems with their legs?
More than 20 years ago I was awakened by the worst pain I have ever had and it’s been hell ever since then. As long as I’m standing, I’m fine. But as soon as I lay down it feels like I’m laying next to the devil. To give you an idea how intense the pain is, it will wake me up even if I’m sedated.
