declining & blurred sight in one eye
I have glaucoma in my left eye which used to be my dominant eye. The right eye is so far fine although very short-sighted. Sight in left eye is 6/120 and 6/12 in right and I have (again) managed to pass DVLA test. However I do struggle with TV, reading supermarket signs, etc because of the blurred vision

Indigestion Medications
Hi All Can anyone recommend an effective indigestion tablet/liquid that is gluten free. I tried gaviscon advance recently which worked so well but then I reacted as if I’d eaten gluten, it is listed as gluten free so must have been another ingredient that I’m sensitive to, but don’t want to try it

COLONOSCOPY AND GASTROSCOPY TOMORROW
Hi everyone, having my first colonoscopy and gastroscopy tomorrow, to say I am stressed is an understatement, keep imagining all sorts of things, any advice on how to handle the anxiety would be greatly appreciated.

Weight loss and Ketogenic diets
Hi Team,I'm curious about people experience with Ketogentic diets? I've let medication settle for four months now, and can see that much needed weight loss will be a grind . 😐 I have read about Ketogentic diets and was generally sceptical about dietary restriction. First line information often states

stool withholding - dulcosoft liquid an option?
Hi We have a nearly 4 y/o daughter who started withholding about 4 months ago. She point blank refused any mivicol or cosmocol, not even the flavoured ones so we were told to try lactulose. But even then we can only get about 15ml in her a day because she likes water. someone recommended Dulcosoft

Vagus Nerve Stimulation for RLS
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37846650/ An interesting study on Vagus Nerve Stumulation on 15 drug resistant RLS patients showed significant improvements in quality of life scale and that 2 of the 15 reduced their IRLSS below 5. The study doesn't say what meds the patients were taking. Sadly, they

Extremely bad acid heartburn
hi, On here about my mum again. She is suffering really bad with acid reflux. She hasn’t had chemo for 4 weeks but they did attempt debulking surgery which didn’t work. So we are not sure if it’s something to do with the blood thinners or she’s worried it is the cancer. has anyone else suffered

Grumbling oesophagus?
Several days ago I had general anaesthetic for the first time (cardioversion). It was all fine, but I soon noticed a grumbling oesophagus -- first when I put in earplugs on the morning after (noisy neighbour). Then last night, 72hrs later, the noises (in my oesophagus) were audible to me as I sat on

Temperature Issues in Besremi due to poor packaging during shipping...
Hi all, I may have mentioned this before, but while my response to the maximal dosage of Besremi has been measurable in other ways, my Hct control has been off and on. Most of the time SWMBO is at home to receive and sign for the monthly delivery of Besremi, so it wasn't until I was out of work [from

Small bowel intestinal overgrowth
I have been diagnosed by my gastroenterologist with sibo after a breath test. The treatment prescribed is xifaxan. I’m waiting for approval by insurance.

GCA flare and eye sight
I have GCA. I have a new rheumatologist who practices at University Hospital in a clinic designed for patients with vasculitis and certain auto immune diseases (GCA being one of them), who has told me that I need to not worry about losing eye sight during the course of tapering prednisone or a flare

Thyroid private blood tests - new company
Hi - A couple weeks ago someone posted a new company offering thyroid tests that have blood drawing clinics in London and is very reasonably priced. I have just had an unfortunate experience with Medichecks as the clinic I chose in London had no appointments for over a month. I am being issued a refund

Vertigo or dizziness?
Just reducing from 6.5mg Pred to 6mg. All seems well but yesterday evening, as I was sitting and reading a book, I started to feel 'out of it' so to speak. A bit dizzy and as though I needed to take a large breath as I had forgotten to breathe. This morning I felt dizzy when I got up in that I wanted
