Feeling despondent - cataract surgery after trab
My partner developed steroid-induced glaucoma (another and long story) in his left eye and had trab surgery last December. He also developed a cataract while on this journey. Last Friday he had cataract surgery. The next day he could read the eye chart after having very little vision in that eye all

Any experience/advice re drug storage (TCZ) when electricity off & no fridge due to power cut please?
My first post, be kind, I’m maybe just overthinking…. Does anyone have experience/advice on Drug storage when Electricity goes off so that biological injections aren’t rendered unusable please? Power cuts happen regularly during winter as we live in a village ‘in the sticks’ or the ‘wilds of wannee’

Besremi versus Pegasys
This question was raised by Flynn2107 months ago. I looked into it and replied there but it seems worth a new post with the recent FDA approval. PEG and Ropeg (Besremi) use polyethylene glycol (PEG) to control the release of the INF molecule. The earliest INFs had less of a control element and more

HSP and alport syndrome
Hello, I was diagnosed 5 years ago as an adult with HSP and associated kidney damage (I was sick for a good 5 years prior to this). I've recently moved house and got a.new consultant who on reviewing my file wants me tested for alport syndrome. Has anyone else with HSP had this done? I'm not sure if

Vitamin advice
I know from here that multi vitamins are generally no good I wondered what the experts think to these Alive woman’s energy vitamins please? I currently take vitamins D, K, C, magnesium and selenium, but wouldn’t mind trying something for an extra energy boost! In addition to the photo, they also contain

Pre surgery question - thanks
Hey! Has anyone been asked to inject themselves with Dalteparin the day before their surgery? Were you taught how to do it by a nurse? Thanks ❤

Doing the best with what we have
I've really enjoyed reading some of these posts written by people that deal with CMT and overcoming obstacles. You all are very courageous and I admire you all. It was a huge disappointment to be diagnosed with CMT when I was 11 years old but even worse when I lost my vision at the age of 12 and had

5dp5dt testing too early again I'm sure :(
Here we go again I say every time I won't test but 5dp5dt and I'm certain if I squint and hold it to the light I can see a little line. I'm on double pessary cyclogest. Lubion injections. Dalteparin and prednisolone for the first time really hoping I have a sticky one I've been pregnant 8 times but still

My Life with CMT type 1a
So I thought it was time to give a little bit about living with CMT. My mother noticed that at about eight or nine years old that I was walking differently and took me to the doctor. It took a couple of years of being in and out of hospital and having every test imaginable. Finally a neurologist diagnosed

SARS-CoV-2 virus-trapping chewing gum
This is not science fiction. It is from University of Pennsylvania researchers. Transform plant cells with a gene targeted to the chloroplast that codes for the SARS-CoV-2 virus spike-binding ACE2 receptor. Incorporate the transformed plant cells into chewing gum. When the gum is chewed, the ACE2

scratched cornea after lucentis getting injection
I have been getting lucentis injections to treat diabetic macular odema for the past 3-4 years. On the past 2 occasions , I’ve gotten a scratched cornea from it on my left eye. At the same time, I’ve gotten injections in my right eye and there’s been no problem at all. The consultant appears to not want

Sjogrens syndrome
Hi all , on Monday I had a follow up appointment with my Rheumatologist, 8 weeks ago when I saw her she took lots of Bloods and was very thorough. She has told me from the results from my blood tests that in actual fact she now suspects I have ‘Sjogrens disease and not Polymialgia!! To say I was shocked

After moving to South Wales, from Birmingham, and obviously changing GP and getting myself registered as a Glaucoma patient with the latest cal health authority, I couldn't help but notice how different things were done here.

Steroid injection
Hi everyone. I had a steroid injection this morning in my little finger. It's been locking alot lately and causing pain in my lower arm. I'm told it's because of skin thickening in my hand. Only diagnosed in July. Has anyone else had this experience?

Tooth health !
Just a reminder to keep up with oral health. I go every six months but my dentist said that the plaque builds up faster because chemo gives you dry mouth . She found that I had cavities under two capped teeth which had to be removed , treated and be recapped , the last being Friday. My mouth is still

Thank you and a couple of questions
Dear fellow suffers, if I may call you that. Thank you all of you for giving me your thoughts on my previous post. To add to the person who quoted Shakespeare’s ‘’flesh is heir to’’ ailments, then my contribution is a quote from an American writer whose name I forgot, ‘’old age and ailments make me

Eye pressure variability.
An interesting piece of recent American research has compared the slightly higher pressures in the colder months compared with warmer months. Also that pressures are lowered with dynamic exercise like jogging and cycling but probably not with weight lifting. I found it interesting that dry eyes tend

Follow up from trab
Hi there, I had my first appointment with the surgeon who did my trab yesterday. The pressure was 12, which is good fo me, and he said everything looked good so far. Though he said there was still a long way to go - I presume he means it has to drain consistently and the pressure remain stable. The
