Primary open-angle glaucoma
Hi everyone, I have just joined this group as I have very recently been diagnosed with the above and told I have a left disc haemorrhage. I have been looking on the internet, as you do, and have managed to terrify myself! I am also about to have cataracts removed from both eyes. Would love to hear from

Lecicarbon A suppositories
I`ve been diagnosed with evacuatory dysfunction and last week saw a colorectal surgeon privately who has referred me for a proctogram but in the meantime suggested I should try Lecicarbon suppositories instead of glycerol. He didn`t give me a prescription but said I can buy them over the counter. Looking

Surgical sperm retrieval recovery
Hi, My husband had SSR last week where they had to make an incision into both testicles. He’s still in pain but the clinic said yesterday that it’s quite normal and to monitor over the next week. Today we noticed on one side there is a lump under the stitches and the testicle on that side isn’t dropping

Monopost/Latanaprost & palpitations at night
Hi everyone, I was prescribed Monopost eye drops for raised pressure behind the eyes, which I've had for years. I had an Iridotomy several years ago which kept the pressures under control for a while, then they increased again. Visual field tests always seem fine. In March this year the consultant

VERY WORRYING!
Cannot believe it. But on Monday when I had my cataract op in my left eye, one set of eye drops were not available. Was told they would be delivered on Wednesday, meaning I would miss a day. They did not arrive. Tried in vain to ring the pharmacy at the hospital yesterday afternoon and again this

Dry ears, eyes etc and Buckthorn Oil Capsules
I came across an article recently for dry eyes, ears etc. Has anyone taken Buckthorn Oil capsules for this? I have just purchased Omega7 which contains [i]Omega 3, 6, 7, 9 and Vit A (beta carotene) which maintains normal structure and function of the skin and mucous membranes, such as the eyes,

Superior Limbic Keratoconjunctivitis
Went to see my Consultant Ophthalmologist today (great chap who sorted my floaters, which were the size of icebergs, a couple of years ago and said that I would need cataracts sorted sooner or later so elected to do them at the same time as the floaters and all on the NHS – perfect) as I have some discomfort

So guys, after some advice. My, what I called bad eye has been a bit sore the last couple of days, Im a total panicker always.....

Eye problems
So this must be about my third post in as many days… 🙄 Anyone else suffer from blurry eyes? And sore eyes?? For a while now I’ve had issues getting my eyes to focus when moving from close up (esp my phone) to further away. I know this isn’t unusual and as I’m mid 40s it’s probably expected if not overdue

FEAR OF DIAGNOSIS
Tomorrow is my OCT RNFL test scheduled due to Steroid induced OHT diagnosis which causes my IOP rises to 24.....And till than I am using timolol once a day so that The IOP will remain below 20....Few days back all routine eye tests and OPtic nerve is fine....But this RNFL test is creating havoc inside

Open Angle
Hi everyone just always melting down Listen to the zoom from glaucoma uk and that even says 10% of people go blind. I’m so down I don’t want a future. I worry for my sons. How many of you on here have open angle and had it for lots of years and still drive. I know I’ve asked this before but I’m so so

Alcohol on same day as Pegasys shot, yay or nay?
Has anyone consumed alcohol prior to taking pegasys, on the same day? I’m normally well behaved but on holiday tonight and the cocktail menu looks hard to resist 😂 Can’t delay peg injection for logistical reasons.

When to take Questran or Colestid powder
I am taking one sachet of Questran or Colestid powder (containing colestyramine or colestipol hydrochloride respectively) per day to control suspected bile acid malabsorption (I have a cooperative doctor - but I haven't been tested for BAM) and therefore IBS D - and with some success. My question is,

Measuring fasting blood glucose on waking in the morning
I want to measure my fasting blood glucose and figured that taking a reading after getting (but before food or medication) is a good time. However I have read that various overnight effects can cause a "dawn phenomenon" in which blood glucose is artificially raised. How long should I wait after waking

Sticky dry eyes and itchy skin- is this hypo or hyper?
Hello helpful people It’s been a little while since I posted a question. I had been over replacing with metavive earlier in the year and came off it rather suddenly which was not a good idea. I was very tired, gained a few pounds, slept poorly , even more hair loss, lack of motivation & 2 viral infections

Sodium Butyrate: Conflicting Studies
So I read one study from 2021 that said Sodium Butyrate was good for PD, lowered inflammation, and improved symptoms and then read another from 2020 that said Sodium Butyrate increases inflammation and makes PD symptoms worse. I have e-mailed both teams for an explanation. I put the abstracts side by

Another Prednisone Question…sorry
Diagnosed about a week ago. PA placed me on 40mg pred to decrease to 35 or 30 at my discretion in 4 weeks. Meantime I will make appt with rheumy. This seems high, but because I’ve had some blurred vision and left forehead headaches I am taking it. No huge side effects yet, but just wondering if I should
