Post cataract op light sensitivity
Anyone experienced this? If so, for how long? I've had an injection for all my previous ops - including my first cataract op years ago. This time, just drops and I was more aware of pressure on my eye and searing lights during the surgery. The blur and grittiness cleared by the next day but, a week

Iopidine
Hello everyone, is anyone having problem with getting GP to prescibe Iopidine eye drops? My GP is refusing to prescribe it, saying its coming up as a red flag. Does anyone know what it means? This was prescribed by a consultant at hospital on 22nd March, when I was put on a waiting list for presserflo

Photosensitivity: “Blue/white LED lighting harms humans & wildlife…” Eclipse article p38, Spring 2023 Lupus UK magazine.
Hi there, As a lupus sufferer with light sensitivity I found this article most interesting. Sadly the old warmer, tungsten filament lamps seem to be a thing in the past. Most lamps are now LED with “cool white” as the default. However LED lights are available in “ warm white” less bright with more

New type. Of migraine
I've had migraine since I was 30, I'm 64 now, but recently I'm experiencing a different kind of pain, it starts in the right hand side of my neck at the back of my head, then radiates up my cheek,
eye
and then my temple, it feels like a nerve
pain
. Had anyone else had this? Thanks

Small area of swelling, lower lid
Hi all. I’m newly diagnosed with NTG and haven’t yet had chance to discuss with a specialist as he was off sick so wondered if anyone here can help. I noticed a small, 1 cm area of swelling on my lower lid. Have been using monoprost for 2 months only. Is this usual? Is it blocked glands? Is this why

sage painkiller for back pain
my mother has autoimmune liver disease and severe osteoporotic back pain. She has been prescribed codeine which she takes most days but the side effects are debilitating. What painkillers are sage and effective for her?

Newly diagnosed with secondary open angle glaucoma - experiencing dizziness
I had a brief chat with a doctor - she said as I hadn’t noticed any visual disturbances or noticed any
pain
above my
eye
, it was unlikely to be the drops causing the problem. To be honest, she didn’t fill me with confidence.

Lubricants back on prescription again.
Following several weeks of being denied eye lubricants by the GP, the consultant opthalmologist has contacted the surgery to ask them to reinstate the prescription. The GP had said that these lubricants were of limited value and for minor or self limiting conditions.Since my eye surgery the dry eye

TKR post op review
I’ve just about calmed down enough to share this experience now. Last week was my six week post op check appointment. It was a half hour journey but roadworks made it an hour. I rang ahead to explain but when we arrived the consultant was shouting out my name. I told him I needed the loo first and turned

adverse reactions to Levo
I’m on 125 of thyroxine lots of side effects extremely itchy skin, blurred vision, headaches and digestive problems. Not sure if this is due to getting different brands from pharmacy, is there a particular brand which doesn’t have additives ? I would be grateful for any advise 🙏

Stopping Firmagon if castration resistant
The cocktail of painkillers plus Radium 223 is making me very tired at the moment. This may seem like a daft question but what is the position with continuing or stopping Firmagon when you're castration resistant? Is its purpose to control the spread of testosterone that would otherwise make the cancer

Hip pain

It also hurts, (that left
eye
) along with
pain
and pressure on the left side of my head. I had a pretty good day yesterday in terms of energy and pain, but today’s a big downturn. I have a low-grade fever also of 99.4. And I just feel very crummy.
