Hyperreflexia
I would love to hear others' experience with hyperreflexia as result of PA. I have periods (often in the last days before my injection), when I get low-level random muscle twitches, mostly in my arms and back, then they subside. I have been found to be hyperreflexive in reflex tests since my PA diagnosis

Open Angle
Hi everyone just always melting down Listen to the zoom from glaucoma uk and that even says 10% of people go blind. I’m so down I don’t want a future. I worry for my sons. How many of you on here have open angle and had it for lots of years and still drive. I know I’ve asked this before but I’m so so

Alcohol on same day as Pegasys shot, yay or nay?
Has anyone consumed alcohol prior to taking pegasys, on the same day? I’m normally well behaved but on holiday tonight and the cocktail menu looks hard to resist 😂 Can’t delay peg injection for logistical reasons.

Measuring fasting blood glucose on waking in the morning
I want to measure my fasting blood glucose and figured that taking a reading after getting (but before food or medication) is a good time. However I have read that various overnight effects can cause a "dawn phenomenon" in which blood glucose is artificially raised. How long should I wait after waking

Marginal keratitis
Hello I have had marginal keratitis 4 times since November 2020, each time I have gone to Moorfields A&E, they have been great, prescribed antibiotic & steroid drops which cleared it up. I’ve been referred to the corneal clinic, waiting for an appointment. Have any of you lovely people with SLE had

Sticky dry eyes and itchy skin- is this hypo or hyper?
Hello helpful people It’s been a little while since I posted a question. I had been over replacing with metavive earlier in the year and came off it rather suddenly which was not a good idea. I was very tired, gained a few pounds, slept poorly , even more hair loss, lack of motivation & 2 viral infections

Sodium Butyrate: Conflicting Studies
So I read one study from 2021 that said Sodium Butyrate was good for PD, lowered inflammation, and improved symptoms and then read another from 2020 that said Sodium Butyrate increases inflammation and makes PD symptoms worse. I have e-mailed both teams for an explanation. I put the abstracts side by

Gabapentin not working as yet
Hi Ive been on gabapentin for 5 weeks now. I previously posted saying my doctor had prescribed 100mgs 3 times daily. I was advised on forum as I thought, that this dose was useless, and I'd be better taking at night and upping dose gradually. So I'm now to to 900mgs at night but still not seeing

Moving from lyrica/clonazapam to methadone
I have had RLS for 25 years. In a couple weeks I will be transitioning from 400mg lyrica (at 4pm) and .5mg clonazapam (night time) to 5mg methadone. It took me over 6 months to get off 6mg er after 7 years of usage (2 years of this period I had nightly augmentation). Lyrica/clonazapam makes me walk like

Another Prednisone Question…sorry
Diagnosed about a week ago. PA placed me on 40mg pred to decrease to 35 or 30 at my discretion in 4 weeks. Meantime I will make appt with rheumy. This seems high, but because I’ve had some blurred vision and left forehead headaches I am taking it. No huge side effects yet, but just wondering if I should

Advice needed
Hi everybody I'm needing a bit of advice if possible. I've been on cosopt for a long time. My pressures in June were 26 and 23 so consultant added monoprost. I've been on this about 7 weeks. I feel like I've got a continuous hangover and dizzy all the time. My dilemma is I'm going on holiday soon and

Buprenorphine Tablets
Regarding the request about knowledge of Buprenorphine tablets in India, I cannot help with that since I’m in the USA; however, I have two or three years of experience with Buprenorphine pain patches in the strengths of 5 mcg and 7.5 mcg per hour. Unfortunately, I have not found it useful in reducing

Think my eyes are rebelling!
Had to phone the emergency on call doctor yesterday morning, my eyes were so sore, red and I felt like I had been crying for days, spoke to Doctor and we think the latest eye gel for nights, which wasn’t preservative free has caused a reaction. Currently I’m on Tiopex, Brinzolamide, monoprost, steroid
