Beta HCG elevation
Morning ladies. I tried to explain to the GP that my clinic requested a Beta blood test to confirm pregnancy. They couldn’t get me in until late this month. I did a little research and there is a company on line - Medichecks. I sent off a blood sample and voilà 783 on day 13 after 5dt 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🤞🏻

Problems with laboratory test results - how to complain
In the past few weeks we have had several posts which have suggested that some laboratory test results have been inconsistent. Some have suggested two laboratories are inconsistent with each other. Others have suggested that one laboratory is inconsistent with itself. (Obviously, if it is inconsistent

Double vision looking sideways
I was sitting in a chair and happened to look out of the window without moving my head so I looked sideways (left) with my eyes. There was double vision in the distance. If I closed either eye it disappeared. I took a few blinks to get things back to normal. I don't know if this has been there before

Microshunt Surgery
I have recently been diagnosed late, with glaucoma and only have sight in 1 eye. I’m now being told I need urgent Microshunt surgery on the good eye at Moorfields. Has anyone had this surgery as I am worried by the comments I have read on various forums?

Terrified of surgery
Hi Everyone, I was diagnosed with glaucoma last year not realising there was an issue, and as a result have no vision in one eye. Eye drops are not reducing the pressure in my “good” eye so I am scheduled for trab surgery next week and am terrified. I do not currently have glaucoma in that eye and am

Loose hanging skin on body
Hi everyone, Can I ask please - does anyone get a problem with their skin becoming loose with thyroid meds - I look like the Michelin Man some days - does anyone else experience this and know what causes it. I am on steroids by the way but it isn't that - they seem to help - it is a collagen issue

MMT not good for me
I quit methadone after two years on it. I will be abstinent 2 years on July19th. I was on 80mgs when I quit cold turkey because I was done living in a drug induced haze all the time. All that weight you gain that they tell you is because you are now healthy, that’s a lie. I had a week of feeling like

Leg or body part most affected by RLS?
I've wondered for a while if RLS tends to affects people in specific body parts. In my case, before medication, I could have RLS in my arms, back and right leg, but the left leg was without a doubt the crazy one. Since I've been under Pregabalin and Methadone, it's almost exclusively the left leg (let's

Cannabis works
Hi everyone it's been a long time since I last posted but I feel I have to share this. After 36 yrs living with RLS and trying almost every medication that we're all told to use I've finally found the one thing that stops my symptoms. It's cannabis, and although so many of you may judge me for it I can

A worrying few days!
Last Thursday I had a very bad headache - only occasionally get these and they only last a day. But this time it was still there on Friday Morning and it was unusual enough for me to check my vision and I discovered that the vision in the left eye had deteriorated quite a lot. I rang my optician but

Macular Oedema
This week I went for my years late retinal screening. I had noticed I was starting to struggle with small print but put it down to using an old pair of reading glasses (my 2019 ones having broken) and maybe needing some laser treatment. The outcome was a shock. There is no need for anything like laser

Does anyone have speech problems after taking horizant?
I’ve been taking Horizant since 2017. I had tried straight gabby and lyrica before switching to Horizant. The reason my doctor tried me on horizant is because the straight gabby would make me feel like I was going crazy. My mind would be thinking one thing but I would say something completely different

Latanoprost - is it leaking out of my eyes?
Hi - I was just diagnosed with regular pressure glaucoma in one eye 2 weeks ago, and given latanoprost drops to use every evening. I've read all the instructions, I put in one drop, feel it go into my eye, hold a finger over my tear duct for 1 minute, then repeat on the other side. But more often than
