I am due to have minor surgery on my wrist and have been asked by my surgeon to cease taking mycophenolate for a week before and a week after my operation (I presumed because of possible risk of infection?). I spoke to my rheumatologist about this and she considered it unnecessary to stop

Earlier this year I had serious nose bleeds resulting in hospital admissions and cautery. Subsequently seen by ENT consultant who advised daily insertion of Vaseline into nostrils to prevent them drying out and possible further bleeds. Since then I found on the internet (various reputable sites)

Rainbows in the morning
Hello all, I have my next appointment with the consultant at the hospital on the 28th November. I have been on various eye drops, tablets since my iridotomy… 1st one in November 2022 and then an enlargement in March due the original holes sealing over. Since then my pressure has been on the high side

Metastic clear cell...
Hi, everyone. How are you? I just came back from my clinic appointment and was told news I didn't really want to hear. It spread again to one of lymph nodes near right kidney. That made sense why I had a pain there. I was on single dose of celarsertib for a few years. Now it's discontinued. My consultant

when to call your neurologist
I recently started seeing a new neurologist this year. Since then I’ve had a flare up of eye problems. I have been having severe double vision and eye pain. I contacted my neurologist a few months ago and they (the Pa) ordered a 3 day round of steroids which didn’t help at all. I called them back and
