Pegasys Injection Help
Anyone use insulin needles to inject Pegasys? It appears to be exactly the same other than it says "units" where my prescription calls out "mls". However they both measure out the same. .25ml = 25units Thanks!

DVLA licence renewal
Two years ago I had to inform the DVLA that I had developed glaucoma in both eyes. It was a very stressful time as I had a trabeculectomy, corrective surgery and cataract removal before embarking on the vision test. The Specsavers team was very helpful in deferring my test until I felt ready to take

Hi,I have suffered from anxiety all my life, I've always been nervous and have little confidence. In 2020, I was diagnosed with CPTSD, and initially had a few sessions of EMDR, and also hypnotise, neither of which worked. I subsequent developed chronic panic attacks, which were more like seizures/ fits

Macular Degeneration and PMR
Hi, Several months ago, my mum was diagnosed with PMR and has been taking Prednisolone (initially 15 mg, now 10 mg after a taper). Unfortunately, her vision is deteriorating rapidly, and she has only partial sight in one eye. She has dry macular degeneration and likely glaucoma too. I want to do everything

Has anyone experienced a trabeculectomy in their only sighted eye? I lost sight in my right eye in 1998 due to a brain haemorrhage. The left eye is a lazy eye but I have 20/20 vision with variafocals. I'm concerned if I take the recommended op I might end up with no sight if there are complications?

Hello everyone, I am having such a hard time these past months. i was seeing floaters and distorted shapes out of the side of my eyes. I was sent to an Opthamologist (as the Optha-Neurologist I had before told me that GCA isn't a neurological disease and referred me to this Opthamologist). Awhile

What To Do Next?
Hi Friends, First post here, although I've come back to this forum a few times. I'm at a spot where, even though I know it's untrue, I feel like I'm experiencing anxiety like no one has ever experienced it before (we all know the lonely feeling). I've been dealing with this for about a year an a half

I was going to wait a few more days and keep using this, but I wanted to get my review out there for Xvettech and the others who are curious. The ultimate test for me won’t occur until Wednesday, so I’ve only been using this around the house. I have very mixed feelings about it. I do think that if
