Twirling "fans" in periphery
Does anyone experience pulsating lights (dim) in their peripheral vision? Similar to a twirling fan? I first experience this following cataract and vitreous replacement surgery last year. It disappeared shortly after, but has returned recently . It is mostly in my lower vision and I notice it more

Glaucoma - Intractable eye pain
My daughter Natasha has closed angle glaucoma with apparently Pigmentary Dispersion Syndrome. She has had one operation to reduce the ciliary bodies because her intraocular pressures were getting progressively higher. This worked very well, and pressures are now well controlled. She takes her eye drops

12 week scan. High risk for Edward's and Patau's syndromes. Any positive stories?
Hello, I had my 12 week scan (at 13 weeks) on Monday. The Nuchal Translucency was high 6.4 mm and combined with the blood test our risk of Down Syndrome is low 1:10000 but our risk of Patau's or Edward's is as high as it could be 1:2. I am 37 years old, so I realise I am at increased risk. Has anyone

Gastrointestinal inflammation with PMR
Hi, I am getting rather worried as I have developed gastrointestinal inflammation. I have polymyalgia rheumatica & have been taking prednisolone since Aug 2020 starting at 15mg & now tapered to 6mg. Anyone else haven’t have had the same problem?

Success with IOPs of 6-8 with a trabeculectomy?
I have have normal tension glaucoma brought about from Lasik surgery which gave me very thin corneas. Though my IOPs range from 10-15, I would need an IOP as low as possible, however, I am frightened of severe hypotony. I live in the U.S. and the surgeons don't go into detail as much as those in

COLLAGEN POWDER
Hi I have SLE and have been trying to reduce my MTX and prednisolone doses, with some success. Our local health food store was suggesting a collagen supplement. Has anyone heard of adding collagen powder to smoothies or sprinkling on cereal as an aid to building connective tissue? I bought some anyway

New to forum
New here! I get extremely restless achy heavy legs in the evenings particularly if I am tired. The only thing I have found that eases it is going to my bed and lying down. Is this a circulation thing more than restless legs I wonder?

Dry eye gel for night time
After having had an awful week with my right eye, managed to get an appointment yesterday at the eye clinic, but only with a senior nurse. After lots of tests and a scan, she seems to think there isn't anything to worry about. The reflections around the eye that I have been experiencing, particularly

Why the moaning about Ropinirole?
Hiya, can I, politely, obviously- ask why people object so much to Ropinerole. For me it is a lifesaver. Literally cannot live without it. I know that I am addicted but so are people to Diet Coke and so on and so forth, there are many other medications with side effects which are necessary to maintain

LAMP test for SARS-CoV-2 being Piloted in UK Hospitals and students to reduce asymptomatic transmission.
"A technical and clinical evaluation has confirmed OptiGene RT-LAMP tests to be accurate and sensitive enough to be used for COVID-19 testing, including for those without symptoms."

Are joint hypermobility syndrome and ehlers-danlos syndrome the same?
Question for those of you who might have both fibro and joint hypermobility! I was asked by someone to clarify if I had ehlers-danlos syndrome and wasn't quite sure and Google isn't helping me! A rheumatologist diagnosed me with joint hypermobility ages ago at the same time as fibro and didn't really

Routine Follow Up
I've had my AMD treated with Eylea injections, and recently I've not needed more injections, but I was still regularly followed up in outpatients (OPD). I was last seen in Feb/ 21, but since then I seemed to have fallen off their radar. I understood in Feb. I would be seen in 6 months, but to date
