Hydroxychloroquine
Hi, I have Sjogrens disease and the Hydroxychloroquine really helps me. It has been like a miracle drug for me actually. My immune system is very strong. I haven’t had a any problems with it. It has definitely helped with my raynauds and my stiffness in my hands and fingers as well.

Hopelessness
I've been diagnosed officially with PTSD this week which is not a shock. I begin EMDR sessions next week so hope those are able to help. I have these bouts of feeling hopeless. I'm trying not to go too hard on myself but just feel that things will never get easier. Cry myself to sleep most nights with

advise required
I am blind in my left eye it has a pressure reading of 36. I am taking Maxidex and azopt which makes my eye sting. I use a heat pad after using the computer which helps . Can I use the heat pad before putting the eye drops in? will this reduce the stinging?

Hi, my consultant wants me to have a Trabeculectomy because my field test is not good, but, my pressures are only 10 and 11 in each eye. Has anyone else had a suggestion like this? I am worried my pressure will go too low and create more problems. Thanks

Good Morning Monday People
Good morning all, I haven't posted in a while since getting my ESA and starting EMDR. I've experienced a lot of improvement and have adjusted well to the Citalopram which leaves me feeling more alive than the Sertraline I was on. I've been feeling contemplative lately about motivation. What are some

Simbrinza eye drops
I have been prescribed Simbrinza eye drops as a new method of treatment to bring my eye pressures down. My eye pressures are 23 and 20. These new drops are to be taken twice a day together with Bimatoprost once per day. I have done some background reading on these new drops and the side effects were

Dry eyes and hydration
I have lived with glaucoma for more than a decade, and over the years the associated experience of dry eyes and blurred vision has become an increasing problem alongside the treatment interventions and the eye drops that I’m required to use. Some days are worse than others and I’ve never really understood

a poem for light relief
Check up day, and I’m Right on time 10 minutes early for my ten to nine They call me through but false alarm It’s just the nurse, eye test, stay calm My good eye reads nearly all the chart But Glaucoma eye is not so smart Can only get about halfway down through pinholes an extra line can

Midazelam
Hi I am having cataract surgery on Sunday and you are given choice of a sedative or not. The nurse said "they usually " use Midazelam -obviously anything offered if i am unsure I will go without it. Does anyone know if Midazelam is RLS safe ? Don't want legs jumping around and the surgical instruments

Ablate or wait?
About 1 year ago I suffered with recurrent AF episodes usually overnight and they lasted from 1 hour to 5 hours. On two occasions I went to A&E and was kept in A&E overnight. I got a consultant appointment and he prescribed Flecainide 100mg twice per day and a spot on the NHS ablation waiting list.

Dry Matter in the corner of eyes.
Does anyone have problems with dry matter in the inside corner of their eyes? I know Glaucoma can be associated with dry eyes and fortunately, so far, I have not had too much of a problem.. However lately I have noticed an occasional sharp pain in the corner of my eye as a piece of matter comes out.

Dry mouth
Hi, I'm on Besremi, now at 150 every two weeks (down from 180 as WBC got too low). I have had dry eyes for awhile, but suddenly I'm noticing my mouth is really dry. I also have frequent urination, and have had for sometime which is driving me crazy. I do see urologist next week about that issue
