Paul Tube implant for Glaucoma
Hello, I am new here and wonder if anyone else has experience of having this surgery? After many years of using various eye drops and also an unsuccessful SLT on my right eye, my consultant advised me to have this surgery in an attempt to lower my IOP thus preventing even further loss of vision. He chose

Cyanocobalamin
Hi, I have just been informed by my GP surgery that Cyanocobalamin injections, which I have 4 weekly, have been discontinued in England. I am allergic to hydroxycobalamin so cannot have that. I know Cyanocobalamin is still available in Europe but my GP can only use what is available to them in England

Inflammatory Arthritis with Levothyroxine
Has anyone else had severe pains in their tendons and muscles due to Levothyroxine? 18 years ago I had an ESR blood test at my G.P.'s surgery as I had severe pains on Levothyroxine, this proved I had Inflammatory Arthritis, so I bought Armour Thyroid from the US as the only alternative at that time.

Surgery or radiation, looking for some advices
Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advices for my father. He was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. He probably already had it for a long time. Quite high PSA (way over 20), and spread to multiple lymph nodes. The surgeon said surgery is still doable, followed by radiation. Radiation oncologist

Unexplained “rash”
I’m currently into 6 years of PMR, having had my fair share of ups and downs, and am now on 3.5mg of Pred, which the Rheumatologist thinks will be necessary for a while. Other than that I’ve been in reasonable health. But a couple of months ago I had to have a biopsy on a lesion on my back. Whilst the

Need practical advice re:RRP for 76 year-old in fair shape
Hi everyone, My husband, just turned 76, is having a robotic radical prostatectomy on 5/13. He is (so far) Gleason 4+3, high Decipher score., clean PSMA. We eventually chose surgery as he's also been in retention for many months due to a median lobe, he preferred that to doing a HoLep followed by radiation

TPO positive, history of early miscarriage's, no need to medicate however still being referred to endocrinologist?
Previously when speaking with my GP's I have not really got very far and didn't really feel like my concerns were being addressed or even acknowledged. No face to face or even telephone conversations, just the same old cycle of being sent for bloods then being told all ok or 'currently stable' etc.
