Successful Eye Exam
Dear All, Today I had an Eye Exam at my local Boots Opticians, it should have been Yesterday but 'They' had Staff Training, As always The Optician was Very Thorough, checking both my Vision and- most important to me- my left eye for signs of Vasculitis, which was 'Clear'. Apart from a slight 'change

RA, Sjogrens desease, Cataracts in both eyes, now Lupus?
Hi All, Can anyone tell me if there is any medication that can help with Lupus? I’m taking Hydroxychloroquine, + several pain killers. The Sjogrens is causing a lot of problems with my eyes, now Lupus is showing it’s ugly head. It would be nice if anyone has any help they can offer.

I just thought I would drop in and say hi, and good to see some familiar names still around. For six months when I was here previously I tried my best to assist and support others and their queries as a survivor and have continued to do so elsewhere but to a more limited extent. Covid being less

Panic over cataract surgery
Hi friends I'm writing this as mum is on the toilet. She has cataract surgery due at 12.30 today but it is now 10.15 and mum needs a number 2. I'm worried we will not make it to hospital as she takes over an hour sometimes two to finish and then I have to wash and shower her. It takes an hour to get

Blurriness and floaters
I’m currently in the ‘watching brief’ phase after a series of 10 Lucentis injections in my left eye. Over the past month, I’ve noticed a number of small black floaters and intermittent blurriness in the affected eye. I’ve yet to see my specialist doctor but the nurse practitioner and my optician haven

Could Pegasys cause hair thinning?
Hi all, I was diagnosed with MF in January 2021. I have been on 45mg of Pegasys weekly since then. I have noticed just recently that my hair appears to be getting thinner and shedding. Wonder if this is a side effect or my age!! 65. Thanks

Two natural substances seem to help subclinical hypothyroidism
Make of this paper what you will. It claims that myo-inositol and selenium therapy can normalise TSH in subclinical hypothyroidism. I just mention it because it could possibly differentiate those with temporary SCH and those who are firmly on their way to overt hypothyroidism. Front. Endocrinol., 16
