Scaly skin on eyelid, itchy and red conjunctiva
Hi all, hope everyone is well :) I've been feeling pretty good lately, and I'm due for another blood test to determine my NDT dose soon. The puffiness in my eyes and face have continued to improve, and the difference is quite noticeable. All of that being said, however, I noticed around the beginning

Best mobile phone for Ataxia?
hi all, my brother suffers badly with his eyes, the blurry vision has gone worse and he’s struggling to read books or watch telly. He uses an “old school” mobile phone since he cannot stand the glare from smartphone screens. What mobile phones do you recommend? I’d like to get him a new one as this

Ocular hypertension and insomnia
My glaucoma consultant is concerned that the IOP in my left eye is too high. I’ve already had a trab on my right eye and she says that if the left one doesn’t go down I will need to have a trab on that eye too. I’ve been suffering with insomnia since I got Covid about a month ago and haven’t had a good

Anyone with ET use Besremi?
Pegasys is causing me significant liver enzyme increases. I have high risk ET, CALR-1 and resistant to Hydrea. Pegasys has worked well for past 8 years but now liver can no longer tolerate. Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen and what the change in cytoreductive management strategy was

Ptosis following Trabeculectomy
I’m on week 8 following my first Trabeculectomy and still have a droopy eyelid (ptosis) - I know this is a very common factor and was expecting it but just wondering (praying) that this will resolve and go back to normal on its own? I think roughly the 3 month point is what I’ve read in terms of full

GCA Symptoms
Hello, I’m curious of those that have gone blind in one eye, or completely, from GCA…did you have any symptoms? We’re you misdiagnosed? If you had symptom, were they consistent, and present all the time? How long did you have symptoms before going blind? Was your blindness abrupt, or a slow loss of sight

Azathioprine hydroxychloroquine steroids and dental extraction

Is it GCA or side effect of Prednisone
Has anyone had blurry vision in one eye, no jaw pain, no headaches and eye exam revealed nothing to worry about in regards to GCA. The blurry vision comes and goes. I am tapering down. Started at 60 mg for 1 day in ER due to PMR then 40mg for 2 days and then 20mg for 2 months. Now down to 13mg reducing

Very dry mouth
Since Covid in October 2022 I have had a dry mouth with a sore tongue and sore roof of mouth. I am now thinking it is nothing to do with Covid but maybe related to Mercury thyroxine? I have struggled for years trying to find a brand that agrees with me, ever since the original Eltroxin I by Glaxo disappeared

Treadmill pace.
Hi guys. I started couch to 5K a few weeks back and have done weeks 3 and 4 (now 2 runs into week 4) on the treadmill. I set my walking pace between 3.5 - 4 mph and running at 6.5-7.5 mph. I'm managing the runs OK but am bathed in sweat when I get off - am I pushing too hard and likely to struggle with

Interferons as the First Choice of Cytoreduction in ET and PV
»Interferons are a group of cytokines with immunomodulatory properties and were the first immune therapies used in the treatment of cancers, including hematologic malignancies. Use of standard interferon alfa-2b for MPN treatment has been limited by its difficulty in administration and adverse effect
