Another update on the swollen eye
Back in Moorfields today, turns out the original diagnosis was Retinal detachment,Anterior Uveitis, possible Scleritis. After all the tests today and a weekend of 60mg steroids the eye has improved, no need for op today to reattach retina as it is healing a bit. The cause of the inflammation seems to

Hydroxychloroquine, and high blood sugar
When I agreed to try Hydroxychloroquine I must admit being a little anxious about effects/side-effects. Started in May I think,200mg daily, HbA1c was 54 at last November 2023. HbA1c 30th May was 66, I know Hydroxy wouldn't have done this but just received results from annual diabetic

Anyone have Fuchs as well as Glaucoma

Hashimotos and Hyperlipidemia
I was just reading a post on the forum from a person who is a poor converter of T3 to T4. Does anyone have any knowledge whether this would apply to someone having been diagnosed by a specialist hospital clinical biochemist with Hyperlipidemia?

Rash photo.
Newbie here. Not diagnosed with lupus nor Sjogren's, though I do have symptoms of both. I've had this weird rash on the back of my neck, into my hairline for a while now. Any ideas if it could be lupus/Sjogren's related? Many thanks in advance for any replies.

DE treatment protocol
hi all, I am about to start treatment for a DE transfer. My protocol is from day 1 to have progynova 3 times a day. Then a scan at 12-14 days followed by progesterone. My previous FET transfers (with OE) have had ceteotide injections for 5 days. This is a slightly different protocol without the

Tilt Table Test
Well, on Thursday I had a Tilt Table test and it was positive. My blood pressure rose to 185/110 before taking a nosedive to 80/54 with me on the verge of passing out. My nurse then stopped the test and reclined the table. I am pretty certain that I did not escape Sjogrens with my year on Pegasys. I

My Cetrotide injection spilled, I’m worried
Hi, so I was on day 2 of my Cetrotide injection and spilled a lot of it when I didn’t realize bubbles in the syringe. I could only inject a little more liquid that was left. Should I be worried? My doctor put me on 3 more Cetrotide for the weekend. I am seeing her on Monday morning and due for possible

Poor Stormy
My doggy had to have surgery on his front paw today. He injured it about 10 days ago and I took him to the vet that I have used before. They said just let it rest and it should be fine. Well, it got massively worse all of a sudden. I took him today after being up with him all night in pain. His paw was

Great progress on Pegasys!
I’ve been on Pegasys for 16 months. When I started, my JAK-2 Allele burden was 29%. Today it is 14%! I was one of the folks who needed a higher dose of Peg to respond. Over 7 months, my dose was gradually increased, and I didn’t see a response until I was at 180mg/week. My blood work is now 100%

Worried- pressure at 5 at trabeculectomy follow up today
Has anyone had to deal with low pressure after trabeculecyomy? I had the fourth of my weekly post- trabeculectomy follow ups today. The pressure was 5. Before the operation the pressure was consistently around 15. Week one after surgery it was 15, week two, 17 ( then stitch removed) Week 3 was 20. Stitch

Filling the syringe
I did my first 8 subcutaneous b12 injections as I was shown by the doctor. Since then the nurse at my g.p. surgery has been doing my injections every 2 weeks as prescribed.

SSI Registration - any reason not to?
Hi, I asked my previous eye consultant if they would fill a form out to say I was visually impaired. It was a few years ago but they refused which was frustrating because I wanted to apply for a disabled railcard :-). Anyway pretty much out of the blue my current eye consultant proactively asked
