scratched cornea after lucentis getting injection
I have been getting lucentis injections to treat diabetic macular odema for the past 3-4 years. On the past 2 occasions , I’ve gotten a scratched cornea from it on my left eye. At the same time, I’ve gotten injections in my right eye and there’s been no problem at all. The consultant appears to not want

Sjogrens syndrome
Hi all , on Monday I had a follow up appointment with my Rheumatologist, 8 weeks ago when I saw her she took lots of Bloods and was very thorough. She has told me from the results from my blood tests that in actual fact she now suspects I have ‘Sjogrens disease and not Polymialgia!! To say I was shocked

After moving to South Wales, from Birmingham, and obviously changing GP and getting myself registered as a Glaucoma patient with the latest cal health authority, I couldn't help but notice how different things were done here. Firstly, I'd never had photos taken of the back of my eyes, and also, never

Steroid injection
Hi everyone. I had a steroid injection this morning in my little finger. It's been locking alot lately and causing pain in my lower arm. I'm told it's because of skin thickening in my hand. Only diagnosed in July. Has anyone else had this experience?

Tooth health !
Just a reminder to keep up with oral health. I go every six months but my dentist said that the plaque builds up faster because chemo gives you dry mouth . She found that I had cavities under two capped teeth which had to be removed , treated and be recapped , the last being Friday. My mouth is still

Ellfindoe and LotteM please ....
Thank you to Ellfindoe for being patient and explaining so well. I hope you don’t mind, but I have taken what you have said and put it in my own words to try to ensure that I understand what you have said. Here goes ….. The latest model of RLS is that there is a series of factors which lead to RLS

Update on cataract op and Flecainide
I posted recently about a comment my surgeon made after my first cataract op when he said that Flecainide had made the first op slightly more awkward than normal. Today I had my second review and asked him for more detail. He said that Flecainide makes the central black part of the eye 'floppy' and

getting off a low dose of pramipexole
I was on Permax and Mirapex at .05 mg for rls for about 20 years, before augmentation set in. I reduced the Mirapex slowly, then went off completely for 7 months. Experiencing depression and anxiety, and sleep interrupted by rls , I went back on 3 years ago and have stayed on .125 by taking a 14 day

Clarification needed please Ellfindoe, Joolsg and others
I still struggle with the fact that RLS absolutely responds to Ropinirole, which is a dopamine-receptor agonist, but then we are told no to that, and are advised to take Gabapentin, which is an anticonvulsant medication. Stupid question but is that telling me that lack of dopamine causes the nerves

Thank you and a couple of questions
Dear fellow suffers, if I may call you that. Thank you all of you for giving me your thoughts on my previous post. To add to the person who quoted Shakespeare’s ‘’flesh is heir to’’ ailments, then my contribution is a quote from an American writer whose name I forgot, ‘’old age and ailments make me

Eye pressure variability.
An interesting piece of recent American research has compared the slightly higher pressures in the colder months compared with warmer months. Also that pressures are lowered with dynamic exercise like jogging and cycling but probably not with weight lifting. I found it interesting that dry eyes tend

Question for Ellfindoe or Joolsg about Gabapentin please
I have written before, but a quick recap. I was on Ropinirole for around 17 years, starting off with 0.12mg nightly (when I have to confess I thought it was the most wonderful drug in the world as it completely stopped my RLS) to more recently when I have been taking 0.50mg and 0.25mg during the day

Follow up from trab
Hi there, I had my first appointment with the surgeon who did my trab yesterday. The pressure was 12, which is good fo me, and he said everything looked good so far. Though he said there was still a long way to go - I presume he means it has to drain consistently and the pressure remain stable. The

Vision in "bad" slightly blurry; eye sensitive to bright lights
Hi all, I don't see my retinal specialist (I'm in the US) until January for my regular injection. My "bad" eye has been somewhat blurry, slight double vision with it, for several months. Last time I saw my doctor, she said "It's the macula." Unfortunately, I did not ask her to clarify. Recently

Looking back
I am late 60's & have had RLS for as long as I can remember & started out on Pergolide as I was experiencing minor irritation in the autumn/winter months so treated them like I would for any headache - popped a pill when I needed it. Later I was told how great Ropinirole was, so switched & took it

Still they don't get it
Thiis review yet again commits the cardinal sin of lumping in together the majority who are indifferent to T4 only therapy, and those who benefit from combination. Another useless waste of paper with as usual, the allegation that T4 only and T4/T3 therapy are no different (though a minority preferred

Newly Diagnosed
Hi Everyone Was diagnosed with glaucoma and cataract in right eye at normal 2 year opticians visit and feel I have been thrust into a tumble drier. Don't fully undestand all the terminology but will do my best. I had no symptoms and a full field scan(?) pick up no sign of peripheral loss. Going back

Canaloplasty
It’s now a week since I had my right cataract removed and canaloplasty in that eye. So far so good! The vision in my right eye is now fantastic (because the cataract has been removed). It is a joy to see bright colours again and as I have worn glasses for short sight since I was 7 its amazing to be able

Thyroid eye disease
I need help! I have hyperactive thyroid, one of my eye started to swell and bulge out little bit. Now one of my eye is bigger than the other one. I completely lost self confidence. My gp said his going to refer me to a eye specialist but this takes 10 days for the referral to be sent. I am on Carbinazole
