so my specialist is referring me onto a glaucoma expert in high pressures ( surgery on the cards ) I’m literally 40 years old like what is happening to my life my health is going down the toilet. I’m scared of the burden of this surgery I’m a single mum to a 9 year old like right on top of Christmas

CPTSD
So I'm wondering if anyone here also has Childhood (or Complex) Post Traumatic Stress Disorder? if so, have you found some good therapy/treatment for it? How do you feel it impacts your ADHD? I seem to recall Gabor Maté stating that he thinks many issues like ADHD are actually attributable to CPTSD

I cannot recommend this enough! I consider it part of my durable medical equipment. 🤣 I bought one more than a year ago, "just in case", and it has been a lifesaver. For those of you who don't have easy access to a second car to jump your dead battery or a gas station on every corner to put air

I have had eylea injections for Macular in the right eye for wet for 6 years. It continues to be "still active". The left eye is the dry Macular and is not treated at all yet. . But, just last week after a consultation I was informed that this left eye has a cataract and can be operated on to resolve

cloudiness/blurriness after Eylea injection
I had my first eylea injection Tuesday after experiencing a CRVO. I continue to experience cloudiness and blurriness and some floaters. I’ve been in contact with the ophthalmology team, who’ve suggested that this can continue for days to weeks depending on the patient. Also, there are no other signs

Successful Eye Exam
Dear All, Today I had an Eye Exam at my local Boots Opticians, it should have been Yesterday but 'They' had Staff Training, As always The Optician was Very Thorough, checking both my Vision and- most important to me- my left eye for signs of Vasculitis, which was 'Clear'. Apart from a slight 'change

Panic over cataract surgery
Hi friends I'm writing this as mum is on the toilet. She has cataract surgery due at 12.30 today but it is now 10.15 and mum needs a number 2. I'm worried we will not make it to hospital as she takes over an hour sometimes two to finish and then I have to wash and shower her. It takes an hour to get

Blurriness and floaters
I’m currently in the ‘watching brief’ phase after a series of 10 Lucentis injections in my left eye. Over the past month, I’ve noticed a number of small black floaters and intermittent blurriness in the affected eye. I’ve yet to see my specialist doctor but the nurse practitioner and my optician haven

Could Pegasys cause hair thinning?
Hi all, I was diagnosed with MF in January 2021. I have been on 45mg of Pegasys weekly since then. I have noticed just recently that my hair appears to be getting thinner and shedding. Wonder if this is a side effect or my age!! 65. Thanks
