Breathless while walking
Breathless when walking Recently I notice more and more being out of breath while walking. I take apixaban and perindopril I have asymptomatic AF and I am a 72 years female. I just wonder if this is due to age or has my AF deteriorated. To get a GP appointment is difficult at this time. Has anyone

High IOP’s but NOT GLAUCOMA. Why continue with drops?
Hi all, So I have had a first appt with a glaucoma consultant (went private) due to waiting time on NHS - was the SAME consultant I had been referred to on NHS! My history - Previously had cataracts (both ages 18 now 50) and lens implants both eyes. Then retinal detachments both eyes and artisan lens

Can you believe it? A doctor actually promoted prednisone.
I had my eyes checked yesterday and found I have cateracts to be removed. When I went into see the doctor who would remove them in March, I mentioned polymyalgia and not being about to get down on my prednisone. He said it was very important that I take it and that probably I would not get completely

Blurry eyes - caused by Pred? And resolving after Pred stops?
About 2 weeks ago I started to have problems with focussing out of my left eye. I went to the Optometrist who said all was fine - nerve, glaucoma, cataracts. I had been to an opthalmologist a month before with a stye (sorry!) and he carried out a similar exam and said the same. Ie: all was fine . But

Pricking sensation
Hi all I awaiting my second Injection at the start of march. Every now and then I get a prickinling sensation on the outside front of my thigh. It's not pins and needles it's like a spikey tingly sensation. And the floaters are back in my eyes. Anyone else suffer this?

Run 08/02 - chilly!
Hiya, I am making this post in 2 separate times, a part pre-run and a part post-run. Yesterday, Sunday, it snowed here (Belgium) with freezing temperatures, causing the roads to be slippery and all that stuff. Helped outside to clear the walkway (we are obligated to do so, should someone fall before

Hi all..I’ve just been told my doctor suspects I have PMR I’ve had a Blood test done last Thursday and are waiting to hear back ..I’ve been reading up on PMR and GcA and quite frankly it has scared the living daylights out of me! 😬. The GCA is particularly worrying as I’ve read 1-10 people go blind

PTSD relapse, stuck situation
It's going awful. I hate being so sensitive to PTSD triggers. How PTSD affects my ability to do anything, from basic self care, to hobbies, not to mention work. Never had that. I hate being unable to build self efficacy particular, at a level that even if I'm not depressed or anything, I can't find motivation

Vision Problem---related to PA?
Is there any link between PA and eye function? I have a condition of the cornea where a surface membrane is not smooth (Anterior Basement Membrane Dystrophy or ABMD). It results in blurred, vision, watery eyes, and easily scratched corneas, sometimes just by firing your eyelids when you wake up.
