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

Is lactose intolerance and soya sensitivity affecting absorption of T4?
SlowDragon If I have a lactose intolerance and sensitivity to soya, could this be affecting my T4 absorption or conversion to T3? If so, would liquid thyroxine help or do I need T3 added? I recall reading a post regarding this from you but I am unsure where it is now. I avoid lactose and soya but

Colon blockage
I am writing for my husband who is in the ER at this time. He has been diagnosed with a distal colonic blockage. The doctor will do a sigmoid colonoscopy to determine what is causing the blockage and how to treat it. He had a his RP in December of 2021 and 38 sessions of radiation. I’m wondering if anyone

Fissure or fistula
For the last few weeks I have been getting stabbing pains up the rear exit. Like I sat on a needle!! I used to suffer a lot with piles but not bled for about a year now. But today after large bm I bled! What concerns me is I should be having a camera look at my bladder on Saturday under local anaesthetic

vertigo
though this is a tinnitus forum, people often post about their vertigo. i have an apology to make, having inadvertently misinformed recently. In brief, I was told by a doc at my surgery some ten years ago (who specialised in ear issues) that I should concentrate on the exercises given for this condition

Never ending circle
Morning everyone, just looking for advice and to vent a little. I have posted a few times about my journey but finally thought I had got some answers. Quick recap- after years of being fobbed off by my GP, I eventually went private to see a rheumatologist who actually listened. Initially he diagnosed

Can you help regarding symptoms?
Full disclosure here. My ability to determine my health status is lacking. I either over-react or under-react. I never believed I had PMR but I also didn't believe I had a ruptured appendix. I am a hard worker, managing a small farm so I do feel sore at times. I am presently on 10 mgs prednisone. I

Paul Tube implant for Glaucoma
Hello, I am new here and wonder if anyone else has experience of having this surgery? After many years of using various eye drops and also an unsuccessful SLT on my right eye, my consultant advised me to have this surgery in an attempt to lower my IOP thus preventing even further loss of vision. He chose

Hemosiderin staining?
Hi, Has anyone else experienced this? I’ve woken up today with rust like staining, mainly on my left hand with a little on my right. No logical cause from anything I’ve touched. Googling seems to suggest it is hemosiderin staining, though they are mainly US sites. This could make sense as I still
