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

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

After Trab worry
Hello fellow people who have had trabeculectomies. It has been 4 months since my right eye had a Trabeculectomy. Things are pretty good with a pressure of 9 which is very nice for me. I am thinking now about surgery in the other eye BUT am not keen on a Trabeculectomy. I'm afraid of the risks of

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.

Need help/support/advice for healing relationships with adult children and dealing with the guilt of unintentional damage done to them by me
I’ve been trying to catch up on posts on here and end up talking about myself too much so I thought I’d try to put my own post out here. I need support concerning my guilt over messing up my relationships with my adult children. I used to have very close relationships with all three of my kids. They

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

Steroid dose after operation
I am having an eye operation next week. It involves a retina peel because of a perimedial retina and an cataract operation. For a number of reasons, I am having it done under general anaesthetic. I know it will involve a steroid injection. At the moment, I am on 6.5 m . The anaesthetist has said I

How to defer DVLA test?
I have a DVLA test arranged for the 24th of this month and I have an appointment at my local SpecSavers as my eye prescription has changed since my last eye test in May. I was due to have my DVLA test last August but contacted the SpecSavers DVLA Team explaining I was having treatment for a corneal

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

Possible UTI at time of Lucentis Injection
Hi guys, I am due to have my lucentis injection tomorrow (right eye WMD, left dry MD). I also have the symptoms of a UTI. I get them regularly due a kidney disease I have. I'll tell the hospital of course, and see my GP, but I wondered if anyone had any experience of turning up with a systemic

Pilocarpine
I am already using Cosopt (twicde a day) and Monopost (once a day) but pressure still a bit too high so have been prescribed pilocarpine in addition (four times a day). Interested to hear from anyone who isusing Pilocarpine especially re side effects. Bit worried to read that it can cause retinal detachment

Hydroxychloroquine staining
I was prescribed a daily dose of hydroxychloroquine, alongside weekly methotrexate, when I was diagnosed with RA and Sjogrens 7 years ago. Two years ago I developed grey patches on the skin of my shins, which look like bruises but aren't tender to touch. I contacted my rheumatologist and sent photos
