Contact lenses and injections
I have myopic cnv in my right eye and had my first injection 12 days ago. I normally wear contact lenses but haven’t worn them since before my injection. Does anyone else have injections and regularly wear contact lenses? I know I’m probably fine to wear them again now but still worried about infections

Bacterial Eye infection/conjunctivitis
I have a rather nasty bout of conjunctivitis which is getting me down somewhat. I have been using Chloramphenicol ointment for 3 days but it seems to make the pain worse. Also tried eye wipes and holding a flannel soaked with warm water which is good at relieving the irritation for a while. Its been

Dry Mouth.
For those of you suffering are you doing anything that’s helping you produce more saliva? Not temporary like Biotene products and xylitol. I’m desperate. I don’t have Sjogrens.

CSR and strabismus surgery. Plus benefits of CBD for CSR
Hi guys I was recommended for strabismus surgery.. they said it was I was a great candidate but it’s for both eyes. I’ve never really had it as bad as others may have.. it’s slight but as I’ve gotten older it’s starting to get worse. I’m also a lucky enough to have CSR and I’m curious if anybody has

Steroid purpura~ not to worry
I took it upon myself to see a hematologist. The only thing I can't deal with is the unknown. These blotches, large and small, are constantly on my legs and arms in places where I knew it wasn't a bruise; all kinds of shapes and sizes. They stay for at least three days and then appear in other spaces

Recently diagnosed with myopic CNV
Hello all, very newly diagnosed with myopic CNV in my right eye (I’m 41 years old) and had my first injection last Tuesday. I have distortion in my central vision. I’m desperately trying to remain positive but it all came on so quickly I didn’t ask any questions nor really understand the condition. Will

Any advice for first Pegasys injection?
Tomorrow will be my first Pegasys injection. I realize I may have some flu type symptoms afterwards but wondered if anyone has any advice on the best way to limit the side effects, if any? Thanks! Kim

Sulphasazine
I saw both rheumatologist and ophthalmologist last week. Good news - I'm having cataract surgery under general anaesthetic. Apparently its high risk hence general. I'm also down on prednisolone from 15mg to 12.5mg. I'm hoping to be symptom free reducing by 2.5mg. Bad news - I'm now have to take sulpasazine

Sad Times 😞
We lost our beautiful Brodie Bear two weeks ago. I haven’t posted about it because we have been trying to keep busy but we are truly heartbroken. He was only off his food for a few days then violently sick over the Easter weekend and we took him to the emergency vets. To our horror he was in kidney failure

Bloodshot eye from a scratch now seems to be more bloodshot.
Hello all, A week ago I scratched the lower part of the white of my eye. The blood seemed to be diminishing, but several days ago when waking up the eye was painful, like very bad dry eye. Cool eye drops helped, but it is still sore and veins around the eye are more red. My vision doesn’t

NHS and 2nd potential anti vegf
Hello all even though I work for the NHS I still despair at the appointment system sometimes! I paid to go privately for my first anti vegf injection and the consultant said he would slot me into his nhs clinic for the second but due to probably the jubilee BH my second one will be 5 weeks 2 days after

6 top tips for controlling seasonal allergies
As temperatures start to rise on the build-up to summer, so does the pollen count. However, the warmer weather also typically lessens joint pain for those with RA which puts many in a predicament!

Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide (TTFD) requires methylation
*** I ended up with High Blood Pressure taking TTFD. I no longer take TTFD. Based on my experience, I would not recommend TTFD. *** Excellent write up on Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide (TTFD) but I am unsure if it is a Methyl Donor or requires a Methyl Donor. https://www.eonutrition.co.uk/post

Traveling with Pegasys on airplane.
Any suggestions on traveling with Pegasys prefilled syringe? I know it needs to be stored at 36-46 degrees Fahrenheit.

Any eye problems?
Hi My husband who has PV has had sore, itchy eyes for a couple of weeks, with painful spots appearing on the edges of his eye lids. He went to the GP 2 weeks ago and was given a couple of different eye ointments (an antibiotic and a lubricant). However, the problems haven’t gone away so I’ve persuaded
