Eye conditions

Has anyone had issues with runny tearing eyes? I have tried OTC drops for dry eye, have been prescribed an antibiotic, which I used two repeats on the prescription and am now using prescribed antihistamine eye drops. Nothing seems to work. I have had CLL for almost 16 years. At the six year pointHas anyone had issues with runny tearing eyes?

Sertraline safe for me?

Now they have said I should go onto Sertraline, I went to the NHS website but there it states people who are Diabetic, Epileptic, or have eye conditions like Glucoma should not take this medication.Now they have said I should go onto Sertraline, I went to the NHS website but there it states people who are Diabetic, Epileptic, or have eye conditions like Glucoma should not take this medication.

Two good appointments with GP in a row! Plus opinions on blood results, plz.

Just had my second appt in a row where the GP said my symptoms were more important than the numbers on my blood test results. Two GPs, same practise, so things're looking up.

Hair transplant and CLL

Has anyone here with CLL had a hair transplant (after early stage diagnosis?) Is that safe or crazy? I'm relatively young to have it and I guess a bit vain but am not sure if the CLL makes no difference or the trauma encourages it.....Has anyone here with CLL had a hair transplant (after early stage diagnosis?)

Synarel anyone?

Hi, I have just been prescribed Synarel nasal spray to gear me up for implantation. Has anyone got experience with it? I have just taken my first dose and it’s run down the back of my throat leaving a taste so bad I had to drink water in an effort to wash it down.

Vision therapy.

Hi I've been having a few conversation on here about vision therapy lately. There is a distinct lack of understanding in the UK medical establishment about this therapy. As you all know fatigue and other issues are largely caused by sensory overload, especially light sensitivity and visual problems.Hi I've been having a few conversation on here about vision therapy lately.

Botox for Incontinence

I didn't go ahead with Botox as i felt it might make my Lupus worse. And I needed to know how to use a Cathether, if it was injected and was not successful, as the Botox last for about 6months. The Failure rate is about 10 per cent. I am now thinking of using Innovo, as its non invasive.I didn't go ahead with Botox as i felt it might make my Lupus worse.

Are we so helpless?

I have intermediate dry AMD, and I get fed up being told there's nothing I can do about it other than take AREDS2. Should be more than that - for example - AMD is caused by drusen cluttering up the macula - this only happens to 1 person in 30. Which raises a few questions ... 1) Where dies the drusenI have intermediate dry AMD, and I get fed up being told there's nothing I can do about it other than take AREDS2.

Contact Lenses

New year, new account, new haircut, new head. Last new year I felt great, really healthy and happy and I get fitter and lost weight, then I moved house and something caused me to feel pretty rubbish and fatigued and put on lots of weight and stop exercising.
