Myopic CNV and a little question
It feels good to read great experiences. This is a hard process. My wife is the one who has CNV in both eyes being threated right now with Lucentis. She is just 32 I think I suffer more than her because this is like a roller coaster, everything began when she was 18 due to high myopia. Good and bad moments

Advice please
I am continuing to find it difficult sourcing a make of T3 that suits me in this country, having been taking Timorel from Turkey for some time. One chemist can get Teva and am wondering if this would be compatible. I have tried morningside and a small yellow tablet with no markings from Ascot laboratories

Legs Edema Swollen
Both my legs from the knee down have felt swollen. The cat scratch on my leg and no blood but a clear fluid. I showed wife and she diagnosed edema. She called ER to ask do I need to have it looked at. She got cut off. So looking at webmd, not to worry. I had just started walks in the mornings, I'll continue

Ocular hypertension
Ocular hypertension is an eye pressure of greater than 21 mm Hg. Yesterday I found that I had 23 mm Hg eye pressure, and I wonder if it is related to ET or Hydroxyurea? Anyone deal with this? Thank you all.

Burning Skin
I have been doing so well on NDT since February 2019 TSH - 0.46 (0.3 - 4.5) FT4 - 16.4 (12 - 22) FT3 - 5.7 (3.1 - 6.8) but on 28 April I was taken into hospital with quick onset glaucoma. I was given a drip to bring down the pressure that evening and had to go back the following morning for laser

methotrexate and a dry mouth
I have been taking 7.5mg methotrexate weekly plus folic acid x 6 days a week for mild R.A. I have always had some issues with a dry mouth at night but this seems to be getting worse. It is so bad some nights that I frequently wake up with the whole of my mouth and tongue completely dry. I drink water

Blurry vision and headache
I suffer with a squint in my right eye, which causes a lot of symptoms. I had an operation when I was 9, but it's all gone down hill. I've woken up with blurry vision in my right eye and an extreme headache when looking around. Anyone have any ideas what this could be?.

Myo and D Chiro Inositol for Hashimotos
Hi all I’d really appreciate your thoughts. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos around 6 years ago after gradually becoming very unwell with Hypo symptoms.

Intra-muscular depo-madrone injection
I have had an intramuscular 120mg depo-medrol injection to treat newly diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis affecting my hands and wrists as a “test” before starting DMARDS. Can anyone shed any light on what as a “test” means, how long it takes to work and how long any relief may last?
