Diabetic and Eye Damage
I have been insulin dependant diabetic for 40 years, which has been the cause of my eye conditions. I was one of the first patients my consultant gave eye injection, I've had three steroid implants, lots of Lazer and eye injections. Last year I had a sever bleed at the back of the eye resulting in

Berberine and iron?
Hi, So glad to have found this wonderful forum! I am a 74 year female who recently started taking pregabalin for RLS. I just got back my ferritin level and it is 12. I will order some iron and would like to know how many mg is a good dose. Also, I started taking niacin 500mg daily for my cholesterol

Objective tinnitus help please.
Not me, my 90 years old next Monday mother in law! She has tinnitus and everyone can hear it when within earshot. We are 40 miles away and hear it when we phone her. She did have a UTI a couple of weeks ago and took Nitrofurantoin for it but became extremely unbalanced, and stopped it after four days

Sore dry eyes
Good morning folks. I’ve been switched from Latanoprost to Monopost drops for both eyes. Bilateral NTG. I was getting a lot of headaches, eye pain and swelling around my right eye and a duty A&E ophthalmologist suggested I could be reacting to the preservatives in the Latanoprost drops. I’ve been on

Extremely high eye pressure while sleeping.
Hi, I have been diagnosed with glaucoma for about 12 years now and I also have uveitis since I was 2 years old. The last 4/5 years the main focus has been managing glaucoma as my uveitis is in remission. Recently I managed to get self monitoring eye pressure machine from Icare so I can keep track of

Thank you
Big thanks to everyone who commiserated with me on my recent fall. Especial thanks to those who related their own stories of falling, mostly making them funny. We're a brave lot on Health Unlocked. It's taking me longer to recover than I thought it would. My shoulders still ache a bit, making it hard

DVT Pain moved leg
Hi My right leg was scanned for DVT as it was swollen. My left leg had had some pains but they ignored it cos it wasn’t swollen. I’ve now been on apixaban for 5 weeks and my right leg is still a bit swollen but pain wise is fine as long as I don’t do long or fast walks. My left leg is now very painful

Not posted for a while, hope everyone is managing their lupus symptoms as best they can. I did think that using 50spf sun screen and taking hydroxychloroquine would keep my skin lupus at bay. However, I'm beginning to realise it is not just the sun and artificial light that my skin is sensitive to.
