Researchers discover how lungs cells respond to bacteria.
Previous research has shown that recovery from bacterial pneumonia hugely improves our defense against further infections by seeding the lungs with immune cells called lung resident memory T (TRM) cells, but how these cells actually protect the lungs against future bacterial infections has been unknown

Serious about going sugar free
Hi all, my head has been dreadful lately, also my neck, & pain in my back, legs, whole body at times, & even a new symptom where exactly half my face & scalp stung one day (a quick google suggested without doubt 'allodynia' - never heard of this before). I am otherwise a healthy & active 51 year old,

High Myopic Degeneration or Myopic Maculopathy
I have been diagnosed with high myopic degeneration. I've worn glasses since kindergarten (age 5). I don't ever remember having central vision in my right eye. I'm now 43 and the vision in my left eye is getting worse. I had a vein leak in 2004 which resulted in laser treatment. I was left with scaring

Excruciating pain immediately after eylea injections - no betadyne
Nearly a year of Avastin injections and two years of Eylea injections, no betadyne being used the last two years because I could not tolerate. Now (the last 4 inections) I have excruciating eye pain after the injection and last time a few minutes of no vision at all in the eye. I take Tylenol immediately

PA sufferers ive just realised
How many good vitamins Marmite has in it. Fortified with B vitamins, barley wheat oats rye also has thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B12 and folic acid. Surely having some marmite each day ( as hard as it is to eat ) would help with PA and the extra vitamins will help. If you do have knowledge

An update.
Hi all, I have now been seen by a specialist and diagnosed so wanted to give you an update. I have been diagnosed with Pathological Myopia which has resulted in PVD, rugby shaped eyes (not sure of the scientific word for this), and macular degeneration - although the Dr said that Pathological Myopia

Positive test for Lupus
Hi all, I'm posting on this web site because I have Autoimmune PA. I have recently had blood tests that stated I have the RO antibody positive. And suggests Lupus or Sjogrens. They are both another autoimmune condition. My GP. Ordered the tests because my whole body, skin, muscles and joints are so painful

WET AMD
Hello everyone, my Mum is having her 2nd Eylea injection this Friday. Hoping it will do some good. Just asking for some advice really - I think the Wet eye is quite active and she says when trying to read the paper the words sort of move like a wave. She said sometimes have to move her line of vision

Profile update....
I was diagnosed with hyperthyroid/Grave's disease in 2014. I feel I had it long before that. Of course, they offered the usual radioactive drink or thyroidectomy...I refused both and opted for Tapozole. A few months into the medication I started to go hypo and it started to affect my eyes. My medication

Detective Work
After having repeated exacerbations, my consultant has discovered from sputem sampleas that I am suffering from "entrerobacter" and "pseudomonas". She has prescribed Ciproflaxin for the latter and in the meantime is arranging for me to have nebulised Gentamycin, the other drug Tazocin can only be administered

Infected abrasion
My abrasion over ankle is infected because of hot saline fomentation which was prescribed by doctor to reduce swelling. I had applied soframycin before that. There are small fluid bubbles around my wound. What should I do?

Dry mouth
Hi everyone, just a quick question. I know pbc can cause dry eyes and mouth but mine have never been as bad as they are at the moment. I have really itchy eyes which I use drops for but my mouth during the night has been so dry that I can't even swallow. My tongue was like a dried up piece of leather

Cost of diabetic care in India.
COST OF ROUTINE DIABETES CARE If you have Diabetes for five years you would have spent around Rs 1,50,000 on diabetes treatment only. After 10 years you would have spent Rs 4,00,000 and after 20 years you would have spent Rs 15,00,000. The increase in cost with time is due to the increase in complications
