Twitchy eye and eye ache
Hello again, I have noticed over the last few days my right eye is twitchy almost twitching to a pulse like rhythm, in addition in the same eye I have a bit of a dull ache which comes and goes and sometimes lingers a bit longer, is this normal? I am currently on lots of eye drops and Acetazolamide

Tapering
I am in the US, started at 60 mg prednisone last summer 2022, 20 weeks of Actemra for PMR/GCA, and many back up and down tapering ...and after 8 days of headache at 16 mg, headache went away and I started 15 mg today. Is this what I am to expect going forward? I have so many side effects from prednisone

Some help please…regarding waiting times
I have just spoken to the hospital about my referral and they are saying it could take 3 to 4 months. I cannot wait that long as my brain can’t cope and with all the medication I’m taking I cannot stay on it for that long. I had a laser iridotomy in November through the NHS for narrow angles this partially

Problem with antihistamines
I have glaucoma and the treatment causes me to have dry eyes that have resulted in damaged corneas. I am prescribed Carmellose 1% eye drops. I was also prescribed Fexofenadine tablets for my allergies but decided to stop taking them as watery eyes helped to reduce the dryness. However, given the pollen

Dexamethasone & Chloramphenicol. Do they cause blurred vision?
Went down to eye casualty as still had sensitivity and irritation from my cataract op though my vision was clear. No infection but the eye is very dry still. Seems the dry eye drops aren't doing a lot. I need to use my heat mask at least once a day. They've stopped the Betamethasone I was given after

Referral to another hospital
Hello again, Ok I’m just looking for some advice please. Quick overview. I apparently have narrow angles in both of my eyes, I had a laser iridotomy back in November, but as my eyes are apparently healthy it partially healed so this needed enlarging which was done in early March. My pressure has

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

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

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

Health News: Nourishment for Eyes
When my Mom was 6, an Alsatian (German Shepherd) dog jumped up on her, jarring her head round to look, left her with a cast in her right eye. Known as strabismus, the ancient Greek for squinting. More accurately, it means the affected eye can’t really focus and can thus appear as a cross-eye. Off her

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

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 🙏

Help please
I just posted, but I’m not sure that it went through. I’m really struggling. Been dealing with super severe anxiety for almost 2 years and I’m at the end of my rope. It feels like I have tried almost everything to get better—CBT therapy, hypnotherapy, medications, coping skills like exercise, meditation

Ongoing anxiety-need suggestions
Hi all! I have been dealing with debilitating anxiety for almost 2 years now. No matter what I do, it only seems to get worse. I’ve been on a pharmacy of medications, see a therapist weekly to do CBT, try all these different coping skills. Lately I’m having a lot of suicidal thoughts because I feel

Trab with sedation
HI, I’m new on here. I have open angle glaucoma in both eyes, with some vision loss. I am going to have a trabeculectomy very soon, as eye drops haven't been that successful, and I'm extremely nervous, so have opted to have sedation. I was wondering how effective the sedation is? Does it just relax

Eye floaters. Any link to Pred or just normal ageing process?
This is not the first time I've had these floating black specks in my vision, mostly on the left which is my weaker eye (very short-sighted on that side).But does long term Pred affect this? And is it a warning sign? I'm currently on 5.5 mg of Pred for GCA /LVV /PMR one year in, feeling ok, though bouts
