Hearing aids and work
Hi, I started using hearing aids earlier in the year (moderate to severe loss, with profound at the highest frequencies). I’m only in my mid 50s and have close to 10 years working left. As with a lot of office workers I’m now spending an awful lot of time on MS teams. I’m really struggling with headphones

On Friday, I had a PICC line inserted into my right arm to administer Ceftazidime ABs every 24 hours by Hospital at Home nurses. My hand hurt from the moment the line was inserted and by Tuesday, I was experiencing numbness and pins and needles. Long story short, I had an ultrasound and a four inch

Normal pressure glaucoma -having a rant
I’ve just recently been diagnosed with normal pressure glaucoma. I’ve always been very short sighted so Ive always had regular eye checks from a contact lens optician and a different specs optician. I go to the same place every year. About 18months ago my contact lens optician said that the thinning

Photosensitivity, eye pain and headache.
I have been photosensitive for about three years now but this year I seem to be struggling with quite intense eye pain and subsequent headache (around the forehead) when outside. The headache goes upon going into deep shade or into the house. I do however, find myself squinting even in the home. I do

Nafarelin/Synarel down reg - when did you get period?
Hi I'm currently doing the above nasal spray for my down regulation as I was told there is a nationwide shortage of buserelin which I used in my first cycle. I started on Saturday 4th May and was told I should get a period in around a week but still no period or signs of it. Has anyone done the same

Eye surgery
my doctor told me he wants to do surgery on my eye to straighten out a crease on the retina membrane. At the same time he said he will do a procedure that might eliminate the need for the injections I’ve been having for AMD. is anyone familiar with this?

Gingko Biloba - Supplement Advice
Hello everyone, I'm reaching out for advice on using Ginkgo Biloba to combat brain fog. My previous experience with the Amitamin Ginkgo complex yielded promising results in boosting mental clarity. However, I've noticed it contains iodine (150ug), which I'd rather steer clear of. With that in mind

Posterior vitreous detachment
I had an unexpected issue in the last few days which started with large black flashes then the following day black ‘squiggles’ - went to Eye AandE and they said nothing to do with my normal tension glaucoma and I will have to live with this annoying condition which is very distracting. Has anyone else

First appointment with nhs Rheumy
Hi, I had my first nhs appointment with the Rheumy who is based at the same health centre as the one I have seen privately. He did say to me that he was aware that I had seen one, I had already had my bloods done prior to the appointment. He said my RF was 170 which is high, he gave me two booklets

Prednisone vs Acterma with steroid induced diabetes. Really terrified
Update: April 2024 was scheduled for eye surgery for Strabismus which was canceled days before when in the same week I was determined by my Endocrinologist to have steroid induced diabetes which makes the general anesthesia too risky at this point. Rescheduled for August tentatively while we work on

The honey bee
I have been looking at the delightful picture of the Italian honey bee with pollen on its legs. What I am puzzled about is on the right. I cannot make out what it is hovering over. Can someone enlighten me? Years ago my father used to keep bees and I used to watch him and also help put the honey in
