Potential biochemical recurrence post radical prostatectomy, looking for perspective on the outcomes and treatments.
63-year old Male, months shy of 5-year mark of the radical prostatectomy, showed PSA of .08 in January then .07 in March. Originally had up to Gleason 9’s. I know it’s not technically a recurrence until .2, and doubling time is the next variable to look out for. But what else should we keep in mind

How long to wait for trabeculectomy?
I'm wondering how long people have waited for a trabeculectomy operation, once they have been told they need one, either through NHS or going private? I'm asking because when I saw my consultant ( privately) in Feb he said that the visual fields test showed there was some deterioration ( normal tension

Drugs Tariffs in news
Short item on news today about how pharmacies are “subsidising” prescription costs. No doubt the reason for pharmacists not having items in stock. One pharmacist was losing£1500 per month and he explained that offering other services such as injections, ear wax removal etc was the means of making a living

Unsure how to proceed after flare continues
I wrote awhile back about having a return of PMR symptoms after successfully (over a year and a half) tapering to 5mg and staying on that dose for two months. The weather had gotten a lot colder here in Seattle and I attributed the flare partly to that. I increased my dose to 10mg for a week and had

Megaloblastic anaemia
Hi, I was diagnosed with megaloblastic anaemia yesterday. My gp, sent over a prescription for Cyanocobalamin 1mg/1ml solution for injection ampoules. My pharmacy and other pharmacies don't stock it.

Experiences with urso, ocaliva and bezafibrate
Hi everyone!I was just curious about your experiences taking a combination of udca, ocaliva 10 mg and bezafibrates. Does it improve the itching? Did you notice any unwanted side effect from bezafibrate, e.g. in kidneys? Thanks for sharing and stay healthy and motivated!

Tapering with a high ESR Reading?
My GP rang me yesterday because my ESR reading was 48 in a range of 1-30. He suggested I should increase the Pred. Because my cataract operation was cancelled for a fourth time yesterday, I dropped to 7 mg yesterday after being told, from 31 days on 7.5mg. I have read that ESR could denote

Sore dry eyes
Good morning folks. I’ve been switched from Latanoprost to Monopost drops for both eyes. Bilateral NTG.
