Glaucoma, Migraine, Anxiety & Depression : My Story
Hi. First of all this post is not an advert or a recommendation. It is just my Story and an opportunity for me to share my experiences in the hope that some good will come out of the last two years. My sincere wish is that something in my story will help someone that is reading this. Whether that is

16 and been diagnosed with lupus
My son was diagnosed with lupus last year December. I feel so sorry for him he’s suffering with a lot of pain in fingers. I never knew that at the age of 16 you could get lupus. I was 38 when I was diagnosed.

Sjögren’s syndrome
I am suffering with bad Sjogren’s syndrome because of lupus which means I have dry eyes, dry nostrils, dry mouth, dry skin. Basically dry mucosa anywhere in my body. Does any one have this experience and what have you used to get rid of it. I have used preservative free eye drops as advised by the doctor

What else is available?
I have done Carbo/Taxol, Avastin, Carbo/Caelyx, Rubrac a and now Anastrazole. I have a scan coming up, but lately can feel the cancer spreading and am resorting to pain killers. Can anyone who has had this many lines of chemo tell me what else was available for them to try, and also how successful it

Drooling/Botox/dry mouth
Drooling: I had Botox injections in my salivary glands to reduce drooling. I now have extreme dry mouth (cotton mouth). Supposedly takes months to wear off. The cotton mouth is more bothersome than the drooling. Has anyone experience this?

Fatigue after cataract surgery.
I had my first cataract operated on on 14th April. On 5mgs pred for PMR. (Diagnosed September 2020.) Since then I've been very tired, with "heavy" legs, but no other PMR symptoms. As my sight is now very "imbalanced" until I get my new specs, is it likely that the fatigue is caused by my brain

First taper
New PMR diagnosis here, learning so much from this group. Thank you all. I’ve been taking Prednisone at 25mg for almost 4 weeks now and will be starting a taper soon. I started on 15, with welcomed but only partial symptom relief (? maybe 50%, lasting 1/2 the time to next dose). Dose was then increased

Bupropion and RLS
Hi! Can I just ask if anyone has been on zyban (bupropion) and it’s helped with their RLS symptoms? And also can you take ropinirol while taking zyban?

Nicotinamide Treatment
A month ago some of you (and me) started to take nicotinamide mononucleotide to halt glaucoma progression and maybe improve vision, as was reported in a trial in Australia. Has anyone as yet seen any difference or improvement? I am not sure if my situation is better but it does feel different with some

A bit of drama on Besremi
(there's a sort of survey question near the end) I've been on it for 3 months now. From starting dose of 50mcg for HU transition my dose last week was ~110. -That evening I had high sensitivity to light, looking at the overhead kitchen light was nearly like looking at the sun. Even the white sink

Selenium Metabolism and Biosynthesis of Selenoproteins in the Human Body
A surprisingly readable and potentially helpful review of selenium in humans. (So far, I have only given it a cursory read.) Yes - some bits are difficult but the narrative seems to make sense even if we have to pass over some detail. For those of us in the UK, it is a shame that they did

Teva and dry mouth
I’ve written here before about the dry mouth I’ve had since just before Christmas. And about all the many tests and scans I’ve had in that time, all of which drew a blank. Then in March / April I picked up some more Levothyroxine packets from the pharmacist. On that occasion I was served by a particular

Methotrexate and/or Prednisolone side effects? Anyone experiencing tremors with either of these drugs? Unusual hand tremor started in right hand after 3 or 4 weeks of 5mg Prednisolone. When the drug was stopped the tremor stopped. When the drug was re-started for increased symptoms, at a higher dose

Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum
Hi I was wondering if anyone else on here has this condition? It causes macular degeneration which is not age related. I have just had my first eye bleeds at age 51 and there is little information out there about treatment options and outcomes. I would love to hear from any other PiXiEs out there
