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

Dry eye irritation
It doesn't sound much, does it, dry-eye irritation, but it's making my life an absolute misery. For two days now I haven't been able to read - my great pleasure in life - as the irritation is so bad compounded by the glare as well. Wearing dark glasses indoors is a sort of help but it's not enough

I’m currently on Latanoprost until I see my consultant
I’m currently on Latanaprost 1 drop both eyes per night until I see my consultant next Thursday. I’m newly diagnosed and been on them a week and a half. Will they keep the pressures reduced so as to not cause any more damage until I can get surgery? Anyone know how long it takes latanaprost to reduce

Avastin Sore Mouth
Hi there, my mum has had 2 infusions of Avastin and although seems to be tolerating it well she has developed a really sore mouth and eating is really painful. Can anyone recommend anything to help and does this settle down as the treatment progresses? Thanks in advance for any advice. Ashleigh x

HCQ: do we need to pay more attention to serious ocular side effects!👆
Many lupus sufferers are prescribed Hydroxychloroquine to manage their lupus and a common side effect most often reported is gastrointestinal disturbances eg stomach churning, pain, wind, digestive problems etc BUT prescribers never seem to liaise with ophthalmologists to establish baseline observations

One year Couch to 5k Runniversary
Just a quick post (hopefully, during lunch break), Sunday 24th was a year since I graduated from c25k. I couldn't really mark it as following a half marathon training plan that scheduled just a15 min recovery run and I want change because I had a 10k event yesterday. So, I marked that run as the anniversary

Myopic macular degeneration
Hi all. After treatment (18 months and 10 Lucentis injections) for what I’d assumed was ‘age related’ MD, a consultant today told me, no, it was ‘myopic’ MD. I’ve always (since teens) been extremely short sighted so maybe no surprise there. Has anyone else been diagnosed with ‘myopic’ MD and, if so

What's this in my RPE after Eyleas injections?
Had CNV/AMD in left eye 2016, didn't know if I could hold still for injections, hence no central vision in that eye. CNV/AMD started in right eye in January 2018. No choice about going for injections. Had injections until March 2020 when oedema stopped. The small bump in my RPE, as in the first of my

sensitive feet?
Does anyone else have really sensitive feet.?It's happened this last year. It hurts to wear shoes. The softest shoes cause bruises or blisters after just a short while. I don't know if this is just a new issue from lupus/sjogrens or from taking hydroxy or pilocarpine. I'm early fifties so it can't

Dangers of treatment for mild symptoms
Hello all. My PET scan showed evidence of PMR and my rheumatologist wants me to go onto steroids although I have very little pain or stiffness at present. This is to guard against GCA. If I understood her correctly the options include local injections and Depo Medrone. The rheumatologist also mentioned

Blepharitis and infections
