Pace lesson learned
There has been a lot about pace and distance in the chat recently here’s my story… I graduated 3 months ago and have done 3 Parkruns so far (what a great organisation!) I was determined to go faster on my second PR. Big mistake! Took me about 20 minutes to realise I was struggling, my breath wasn’t

anticoagulant and injections for Macular degeneration?
I am on anticoagulant for Afib, I just had a 2nd injection for wet macular degeneration. I am concerned about how safe I am with taking these two drugs? Please let me know your thoughts as I am worried!

Preparation for surgery
Hello, I am due to have surgery for a macular hole in my left eye, in the next couple of weeks. Please could anyone advise me on what equipment is the most helpful to help with 'posturing', whichI have to do for a week. I am feeling pretty daunted by the whole thing!

Introduction
Hi there, I've been suffering from MDD, PTSD and GAD since I was a child due to a traumatic event. I don't like the way medication makes me feel so I have been on and off certain ones before they can medically take affect. So far I prefer Prozac because it has been around for a while. I don't trust newly

Is vision loss always permanent?
Is it always the case that any vision loss due to glaucoma is permanent? My son (diagnosed with juvenile open angle last year, now aged 20) has a grey blurred area in the centre of one of his eyes and a trip to A&E showed his perssure to be 63 in the affected eye and 50 in the other. Following an emergency

allergic to eye drops
is anyone else allergic to ALL the eye drops? Had xalacom and xalatan for years, no problem. Then changed several times and ended up with cosopt and monopost. Eyes became swollen, red itchy. Changed to preservative free with the same reaction. Have retried most of the others with the same result. It

Incessant itching driving me crazy
I was diagnosed with SLE and APS around 25 years ago ; although I reckon I've had both for most of my life ; I'm 74. Over the years I've had a number of DVT's and a PE and I'm on life long Warfarin. I was on Hydroxy. but was taken off this due to it causing vision problems. The most persistant problem

Experiences with 75mcg Levothyroxine (Teva)?
I have some questions about specifically the Teva 75mcg Levothyroxine. Increased my dose recently from 50mcg, but recently started waking up with headaches, dizziness and blurred vision which never happened before on 50mcg. Curious if this is just my body not liking the Teva brand, and maybe trying

Need help/support/advice for healing relationships with adult children and dealing with the guilt of unintentional damage done to them by me

My mum suffers with Lupus. She has tried using Zerobase, several Steroid creams, and Mepocrim tablets. She suffers with this on her face, neck, hands and arms. Please can anyone suggest anything that she can use or take that doesn't cost too much money? Thank you.

Rutin
Apparently Rutin is very rich in flavinoids which can help health in many ways. My husband and I ( both over 70) used to get leg cramps every week or two especially at night, since taking rutin we no longer have cramps. I think it took several months to really make a difference. It is also supposed

Article on steroid side effects (dated Nov 2018)
Albeit not a new paper but in context still significant. (??) The diagnosis of cataracts in steroid users may be because those on steroids tend to have more eye exam. (Which reminds me to book my next.) https://www.practicalpainmanagement.com/resources/news-and-research/polymyalgia-rheumatica-steroid-side-effects-new-findings
