Dad admitted to ICU with Sepsis on 31/12/22
my dad was admitted to the ICU on New Year’s Eve, he’s had pneumonia, strep a and sepsis, he’s currently got the Trachi and is on the kidney filter machine. The doctors are saying that they need to sedate him 100% now so he can get the rest he needs as everything is failing on him. They’ve talked about

Magnesium salts and RLS: malate, glycinate or citrate
Just following up on a recent post recommending magnesium malate for RLS, quoting recommendations made by Californian company Pure Biogenics in promoting their RLS supplement Seratame. Looking into this, experiments on rats suggested that malate may be the most bio-available form of magnesium; there

Seeing an MPN Specialist tomorrow!
I have an appointment at Stanford with an MPN Specialist tomorrow. Going on 5 years with ET+CALR and currently taking aspirin and 2 pills of Hydrea daily AND 90mcg of Pegasys once a week. We are in a transitional period right now and I will eventually just be taking Pegasys and aspirin. Took my 4th dose

Using Lactulose long term
Does anyone know if it is safe to use Lactulose long term? I have IBS-C and have tried all the other remedies such as kiwis, psyllium, prunes ,linseeds, chia seeds and I drink plenty of water but find they either don’t work or give me terrible griping pains. Although I’d prefer to take a natural product

Levothyroxine for Underactive thyroid
I cannot tolerate Levothyroxine and wondered what other options are available to me. I have not taken any medications for nearly five years now. I also have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. I am confused what symptoms are connected with Hypothyroidism and what can be attributed

Microcystic Edema in glaucoma patient
Hi, my mother has had microcystic edema in both eyes discovered. Have been told there is a possibility that taking Xalatan drops could be connected. Wondered if anyone else has this condition and any talk of these drops being linked to it? Thanks.

Oxycodone not working well
I have been alternating between Tramadol and Oxycodone for awhile now. I do pretty well on the Tramadol but after a month or so,, sometimes sooner, it isn’t as effective so I switch off to oxycodone. I don’t do near as well on the oxy and am wondering if it’s a dosage issue, a timing issue, or maybe

Trabeculectomy and theme parks
I had a trab done in one eye following trauma induced high IOP last June. Pressures have been stable since November at around 14.I'm going to a theme park soon (Disney Paris - very excited!) - does anyone know if there are restrictions on roller-coasters with trabs? I'm going with kids, so won't be doing

THC and augmentation
In researching THC use and RLS, it is described as a dopamine agonist. Is there evidence it can also produce augmentation? . It works very well for me and does not produce the side effect that makes Gabapentin, Lyrica or opioids unacceptable options. However I can’t use it much because of my line of

question for those with sight loss…….
can I ask of those that have experienced sight loss, has this been since your GCA diagnosis (and possibly already getting treatment) or was it part of the problem(s) that made you seek help….if you get what I mean ? I have had a “lazy” eye since birth, with limited vision (can’t see in detail) the other

putting down the burden
I have been practising albeit a bit as hoc putting things weighing me down into an imaginary bag and putting the heavy burden of that bag down. Knowing it’s still mine and I can retreive it should I want to at any time. I know this sounds simplistic but I simply couldn’t live with carrying it all around

Methadone + Pregabalin + Trazodone - So far so good
Hi everyone, just wanted to share a good story. Sorry for the telegraphic style, I'm just saving everyone's time. I'm 33, living in Canada. I guess I've had RLS my whole life, but it started affecting my sleep about 10 years ago. I'm very active (cycling everyday, rock climbing & calisthenics). No other

Trab after failed shunt
Hello. This is my first post so please bear with me. About a year ago I had a shunt inserted which I thought would be an end to my problems. After a lot of delayed appointments my IOP has started to creep back up, and my doctor has suggested a trab. My next visit is in 6 months, which I think is

timing of your medication monitoring blood tests
good morning all and thank you all for your kind and caring responses to my previous question. My query today is: has anyone ever found that having a blood test close to methotrexate day (or within two weeks of having a wee Drinkie…) impacts the liver reading? I normally ensure this doesn’t happen

Moving on from a Tracheostomy
Sorry - another question from me. As it was a slightly different topic, I thought I'd start a new thread. My dad has had a trachy now for just over two weeks, following two weeks fully sedated on a ventilator due to pneumonia. He is much improved and breathing unaided for 36 hours so far. He is also

Glaucoma - dealing with glare.
Hello, I was diagnosed several years ago. I use Monoprost drops in my right eye and had a trab in my left a few years ago. Left is getting worse slowly, right is quietly developing a cataract. I'm also bothered by blepharitis, dry eye and being aged 73 - lol. In other words, nothing unusual going on.

Monopost eye drops
Is anyone in the UK having trouble getting Monopost single use eye drops? Pharmacist just says to ask for a different drop…not as easy as that when you’ve tried most available and they don’t lower pressure! So frustrating…don’t know what to do now.
