Experienced a very strong hypnagogic hallucination, shortly after 11:15) which I hadn’t experienced in a while. Caused me to jump out of bed. After turning on the lights I realized I had pronounced right

INF and vision improvement

Some may have seen my issues with eyes since starting Bes. Super light sensitive at my 1st dose period, other vague weirdness, and more recently left eye injury. After a series of eye Dr visits all is good so far. Eye was poked by an eyelash, and light trouble is long gone. I do have light cataracts

POEM - NEVER GIVE UP.

POEM – NEVER GIVE UP. I need to write a poem as this all must be said, I find that I need to say this, just before I go to bed. Its about you having a goal, something that affects you And never give up on it, no matter what you do. You may not realise, there are others, others, just like me,

Looking for support- Degenerative Myopia with CNV

Hello all! I am writing in hopes of finding support in this community as well as some hope. Given the fact that degenerative, severe myopia is so rare and individualized, I know none of us have all the answers. To share my story: I am 28 years old and have had moderately low vision (severe myopia)

practical suggestions for pwp and the 2am club......drooling

Drooling sucks especially when you wake up with a wet pillow...which usually occurs mid to late stage pd. You can drink/eat pineapple which contains bromelain.. that acts to "dry" out the salivary gland which is controlled by the the parasympathetic/autonomic nervous system which ultimately becomes

2 months after op still blurred vision, too early to give up?

It has been two months since I had a trab op. My vision was gradually improving but it stopped the last one month ie, no improvement of vision from day 30 to day 60 after op. Doctor seems to suspect this might be as good as it gets. He mentioned my glaucoma was advanced so in some cases, it never goes

Hi, I have Hypothyroidism and take Thyroxine and NDT. I have been having symptoms over the last 6-8 months similar to Thyroid which I now believe to be Perimenopause. I started on Collagen which has helped with joint pain and saw a GP last week who suggested Black Cohosh and Red Clover to see how

My eyesight problems

Hi everybody, I have normal pressure glaucoma. I use Monoprost drops in my right eye. I have had a trab in my left eye since January 2019. My pressures are fairly stable though the damage to my left eye is getting worse. I've always been shortsighted and obviously wear prescription specs. The last

CHEC community health eye clinics, poor service?

sjorgen testing

Hi, I have a question for those diagnosed with sjorgens. What tests do they use to diagnose you? My eyes have been dry for some time. I have Hashimotos and I kinda always blamed it on that, but I think dry eye is more related to graves. I've always had trouble with sunlight sensitivity and Rosacea
