Prednisone vs Acterma with steroid induced diabetes. Really terrified
Update: April 2024 was scheduled for eye surgery for Strabismus which was canceled days before when in the same week I was determined by my Endocrinologist to have steroid induced diabetes which makes the general anesthesia too risky at this point. Rescheduled for August tentatively while we work on

The honey bee
I have been looking at the delightful picture of the Italian honey bee with pollen on its legs. What I am puzzled about is on the right. I cannot make out what it is hovering over. Can someone enlighten me? Years ago my father used to keep bees and I used to watch him and also help put the honey in

Is lactose intolerance and soya sensitivity affecting absorption of T4?
SlowDragon If I have a lactose intolerance and sensitivity to soya, could this be affecting my T4 absorption or conversion to T3? If so, would liquid thyroxine help or do I need T3 added? I recall reading a post regarding this from you but I am unsure where it is now. I avoid lactose and soya but

Trabeculectomy tips?
Hi I was diagnosed two or three years ago just prior to my 50th birthday. Drops have been ok but left eye seems to be deteriorating quite rapidly. I am having a trabeculectomy in my left eye in a couple of weeks. I know surgery is experienced differently for everyone but wondered if anyone had any tips

Never ending circle
Morning everyone, just looking for advice and to vent a little. I have posted a few times about my journey but finally thought I had got some answers. Quick recap- after years of being fobbed off by my GP, I eventually went private to see a rheumatologist who actually listened. Initially he diagnosed

Can you help regarding symptoms?
Full disclosure here. My ability to determine my health status is lacking. I either over-react or under-react. I never believed I had PMR but I also didn't believe I had a ruptured appendix. I am a hard worker, managing a small farm so I do feel sore at times. I am presently on 10 mgs prednisone. I

Paul Tube implant for Glaucoma
Hello, I am new here and wonder if anyone else has experience of having this surgery? After many years of using various eye drops and also an unsuccessful SLT on my right eye, my consultant advised me to have this surgery in an attempt to lower my IOP thus preventing even further loss of vision. He chose

Hemosiderin staining?
Hi, Has anyone else experienced this? I’ve woken up today with rust like staining, mainly on my left hand with a little on my right. No logical cause from anything I’ve touched. Googling seems to suggest it is hemosiderin staining, though they are mainly US sites. This could make sense as I still

Decipher this cholesterol reading please
I know there are plenty of knowledgeable people reading these posts so can you decipher this please Chol 3.5 mmol/L, LDL , HDL 1.78 mmol/L,Chol:HDL ratio , Tri 0.51 mmol/L. I don’t understand this. I’m guessing my cholesterol reading is 3.5, but what are HDL and LDL readings individually?

Discomfort
Hi all. I'm getting discomfort in my upper abdomen. It's not pain exactly but it's uncomfortable. It's like IBS, which I suffer with, but can't take peppermint oil anymore. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it normal? It's not bloated like I had when I was diagnosed with cirrhosis. Apart from this

PA and Sjogren’s
I posted a few days ago about dry mouth and eyes, but since then my early sjogrens bloodwork has come back positive. I am terrified! Is there anyone else who has AIG/PA and also sjogrens? I feel desperately in need of some hope and guidance…in particular I’m wondering if injections have helped with SS
