problems wearing glasses?
Hi. I’ve always worn glasses - very shortsighted so a strong prescription and heavy lenses. For a long time I’ve had to pay for the lightest possible lenses and small frames, because of headaches. But despite that, in the last 2-3 years I get sores on the sides of my nose where the glasses rest. It’s

UK - Liver Resection
I'm having my liver resection on Friday 18th August to remove HCC and I'm just falling apart. I'm so scared and nervous. I feel sick, I'm bloated (from stress), I feel I have no desire to eat properly so I'm eating the wrong foods. I'm getting heart burn too. I'm convinced it's all anxiety related to

Blood test
Had both Covid and flu jabs yesterday. Lipase blood test due today. I've been searching to see if it's wise. Leave it 48 hours is all I can see after a long search. Any advice if you've been in that position. I didn't do my weekly Benipali jab yesterday . My RA is in remission but sadly attacked my Pancreas

Adverse reaction to eyedrops
I was prescribed Latanoprost for one eye. After two doses I experienced severe pain in the eye which lasted at least eight hours. I stopped taking the drops and the bad pain subsided. But I still feel mild discomfort in the eye and it feels a bit gritty. At night I feel mild discomfort in the eye and

Serositis and Hypotension anyone?
Diagnosed with Adult Onset Stills Disease aged 17 in 1979 now 61. Stills manifests as RD for me with many overlaps with RA and Lupus. I have other AI conditions such as Lichen Sclerosis and Enthetitus. Amazingly I’ve been mainly medication free since my mid 20s relying on pain relief and limb splints

Advice on medication
Hi Everyone, I've been offered medication as an alternative to the mini pill as I've tried Noriday which caused floods, and Desogestrel makes me bleed constantly. Norethisterone and Provera have been mentioned but I don't know which one to go on. I'm a bit weary of Norethisterone as Noriday made me

Sod's Law. Due for colonoscopy this morning, so spent the last 3 days on a white diet, no alcohol, yesterday went through the Moviprep routine to empty bowels, spent all evening on and off toilet, most unpleasant. Got up at 2am this morning for toilet, and guess what, of course, AF suddenly kicked in

Back in Jan of 2022 thought I had a uti went to dr. And after 6 months and multiple rounds of antibiotics no relief. I made appointment with a urologist to see if it could possibly be stones, he sent me for catscan no stones. Went back to my regular Dr. And she put me on a round of steroids didn't work

Discontinuing hydroxychloroquine (or not)
I have fairly mild SLE and have stopped hydroxychloroquine because of some unrelated retinal damage caused by sepsis. I find I am tired all the time, more sun sensitive than ever, and frequently get oral ulcers. I'm not sure whether to risk more eye damage by returning to hydroxychloroquine or to risk

Clogged ears
I developed whooshing pulsatile tinnitus in my right ear a few years back. It's very loud. When I perform The Valsalva maneuver or rub my ear it feels clogged and doesn't seem to resolve itself. It just doesn't feel right. Does anyone experience anything similar and whether this can be related to the
