Stretching and exercising after cataract ops
Hi! I did skim this site to see if anyone recently asked about my question, but didn't see anything. I have cataract operations on 12 and 19 June (I also have high IOP but generally below 21; I'm astigmatic (which the ops should correct), and a form of strabismus, where my eye muscles don't line

Haemophilus influenzae
Has anyone been able to get immunised against haemophilus influenzae? I've just had a bad infection which has been hard to shake off and I don't want it again. I know there is a vaccine available for adults but my hospital seems never to have heard of it.

Sore stomach on apixaban
I’ve been on apixaban for just over 2 months and have 3 weeks to go, then 4 weeks off before a d dimer blood test. I’ve had awful stomach cramps for a couple of weeks, blood in stools and leaking watery blood like I’m wetting myself (lovely picture!). The doctor is sending me for the fast track bladder

Ahhaaaa! Ladies and Gents- Leg pain when walking? Result!!
Hello All. I should have been in Morocco for a couple of weeks at the beginning of April. But, alas, it was not to be. I had an appointment for a Doppla test at my local community hospital on the 25th March. "This will be a breeze" I very wrongly assumed. This test measures your blood pressure in your

NICE: Teprotumumab for treating thyroid eye disease ID 6432 - being scoped

Buprenorphine patch and swimming
Dear Everyone, About 3 months ago, I started withdrawing from Neupro with the help of Buprenorphine. Buprenorphine is only available as a patch in Brasil where I live. I am now free of any dopamine agonist for over 2 months and continue to use Buprenorphine to effectively control my RLS. The quality

Pre-diabetic. Related?
Been feeling really draggy and have had a cold which will not go away for a month. So got a physical. Only abnormality was fasting glucose at pre-diabetes level. Blood sugar has always been low. Diabetes in my family so I am very careful. I am probably 10 lbs overweight, not a lot ( 5' 3" size 8).

Thinning Hair
I’ve been taking Rivaroxaban with Flecainide and Adizem for AFib. My hair has become noticeable thinner. My Consultant has just changed my Rivaroxaban to Apixaban which also has hair loss as a side effect. Does anyone have this problem and are you able to recommend anything to help? I’m 76 years old

Eye drops
Hello, I would like your advice regarding eye drops. I am very myopic and also have cataracts. I use hyabak often throughout the day but my eyes still feel dry and uncomfortable which I think is making my sight even worse! I’m wondering whether I should try longer lasting eye drops. Any suggestions would

Confusion! Help please! Ear plug in one ear/ Singer/ worse tinnitus
Hi guys, So, I'm a singer and am trying virtually every earplug/IEM/custom mould solution I can to try and get to s good place with it. I think my tinnitus was caused by loud singing gigs, one particular week 2 years ago where I really pushed the PA volume. I now always use hearing protection

Ureter Restriction from Radiation Treatments?
While I don't have any symptoms (yet), a CT scan and ultrasound tests show that the lower part of my right ureter tube is very narrow and causing the kidney to swell, apparently from restricted flow of urine through the ureter. My University of Chicago Medicine urologist suspects scarring in the ureter

Hyperglycemia from levothyroxine
Has anyone had success coming off of levothyroxine after many years? Does the thyroid function come back around on its own? Can blood sugar be improved by stopping the levothyroxine?

Low eye pressure
I have Normal Tension Glaucoma and had a Deep Scleretomy operation on my right eye 18 months ago ( I believe this is a similar operation to a trab, the aim being to lower the pressure) and I have a bleb under my eyelid. Immediately after surgery the pressure dropped to 3 but gradually over eight months
