Cataract surgery
Has anyone had successful cataract surgery with high myopia along with BRVO? I'm due to have surgery at the end of September but know that it is more risky in very shortsighted people. Also added complications with having a retinol occlusion. I opted to go to Moorfields because of their good reputation

After several examinations, a scan, sclerosis is the tentative diagnosis but waiting a retinol specialist appointment on Monday for further scans (dye in vein one?). They don't think GCA, we'll

Vitamin A - retinol.
Dr. John Campbell posted a video about how low vitamin A (retinol) levels predispose a person to experience pneumonia from the Mycoplasm pneumoniae which is currently at near epidemic levels among children in northern China. No surprise here to be honest considering the severe lockdowns. Children have

Hi. This post isn’t about me but looking for info to help my daughter. She has had low kidney function since she had a tummy bug aged 11. She is now mid 40s and at her latest kidney review was told her parathyroid blood level was high. She showed me the numbers but I can’t remember them - they were not

Imnusupressants Post Transplant
Hello,Im wondering how this whole suppressed immune system works? My husband and I have got covid (6 weeks post TP for him). The whole household has pretty much had it all at the same time, but how will hubbys recovery differ? Is he less likely to recover as quick, more prone to secondary infection

Tacrolimus vs cyclosporin
Hi, I am currently working with my rheumatologist to plan for second pregnancy. My daughter is 3.5 years old and I was on tacrolimus during my pregnancy (I usually take MMF). I remained relatively well and stable throughout but there were alot of issues with maintaining the tacrolimus concentration

Good News!!!
My dr. approved the buprenorphine for me. I am thinking positive that it will work. She is giving me the patch. I am excited. I have to discontinue the horizant though which surprised me and of course discontinue the oxycodone. Hopefully now you won't have to listen to me complaining and I will

itching
I had a transplant 18 months ago and 6 days ago the hospital reduced my Tacrolimus and increased my Prednisolone to improve my kidney function (although it was no worse than it has been since the transplant). I’m gradually increasing the Tac and decreasing the Prednisolone but today lve started itching

Albumin
New paper below [1]. About 18 years ago, a man who headed a PCa group in CA told me to forget PCa-related markers - the best indicator that a man wouldn't be around in 6 months was albumin. My albumin had been 3.9 at diagnosis. I worked to reduce sub-clinical inflammation via polyphenols (inhibitors

looking for a neurologist
Can anyone recommend a neurologist knowledgeable in RLS in the Bristol/ Bath (England) area ? I currently have a neurologist whom I rate quite highly but who cannot prescribe opioids as they are not on the formulary of the hospital where she practises. She has however asked my GP to prescribe Oxycodone

It looks like I have developed a fairly rare condition called Parsonage-Turner syndrome (PTS), also called brachial neuritis. It started with terrible pain in the shoulder, so initially I thought it would appear in the other shoulder and be the beginning of a PMR relapse. But it is taking a different

Hi everyone and Happy New Year
my name is Jill and it’s been along while since I’ve posted anything. I was diagnosed in 1999. Aged 39. Despite being very unwell for months and being ‘fobbed ’ off by my Gp. By the time I was diagnosed I had Saddle Nose deformity. Like alot of you even as a nurse I was very scared and felt alone
