Strange feeling in eye
Just back from check up after last months eyelea injection. I've been told that the strange sensation of a cloudy pool moving round my eye is a vitreous detachment probably triggered by the last injection. I have been prescribed Maxidex drops to help clear up the problem. Has anyone experienced a vitreous

Viral Meningitis from HSV
Hi, I’m in the first week of recovery from viral meningitis. This entire experience has been a rollercoaster of emotions, and finding this forum has made a world of difference for me.

Viral Meningitis
I had viral meningitis in July of 2017. It was caused from my genital herpes which I never knew could happen so I was very upset. Now I am just living with still being tired and sometimes pain, light sensitivity and headaches. I have read a lot about it and it said to rest but I have been working since
