She came to my home on Thursday (negative test same morning) while I went to hospital for a pre op check. While she was here to look

Post eye operation vision. Experience of distortion and epiretinal membrane
I had a trabeculectomy five weeks previously. Still blurry vision but I know this is the norm and a lot has been discussed. My blurriness is clearing very slowly, - so slow to frustrate me but not slow enough to worry doctors - but as my vision slowly improves, I have noticed the distortion of my vision

Strabismus surgery and CSR success so far
I just recently had strabismus surgery and I have CSR in my left eye. I had surgery in both eyes I was super nervous about it but my specialist told me it doesn’t affect the inner eye. I’ve had dramatically improved results since I’ve had the surgery. I believe it has something to do with my eyes being

Hi, has anyone elected to stop Methotrixate due to the side effects and inconclusive RA diagnosis. Decided to stop as side effects outweigh benefits! Has anyone then moved on to controlling inflammation with alternatives like turmeric, devils claw or Chinese remedies. There has to be an alternative

Miralax..
So I posted the other day about having to get a colonoscopy, and I'm worried it will trigger my aFib. Now I'm guessing it won't be the colonoscopy but rather the 240grams of Miralax they are telling me I need to take in the 24 hours prior to the exam. I called into the office 2 days ago and the doc

Prolia
I have been advised to start with Prolia injections. I have osteoarthritist, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic kidney disease and lupus. Is there anyone who can tell me what to expect?

Good Morning I should apologise for not being a bit more proactive on this site. I suffered a TBI caused by an AVM 2 years ago (this caused a subarachnoid hemmorage) this has left me with permanent double vision and a balance problem. I spent 4 months in hospital, only left there because I forced it

Ganfort - is it preservative free?
My consultant prescribed Ganfort eye drops because they're supposed to be preservative free and I had been having problems (soreness) with other eye drops. However, I note from the accompanying leaflet that they contain the preservative benzalkonium chloride which is a preservative. Just wondering if

Instead he had me on 5 mg of Oxycodone every 4 hours. He thought the Oxycodone would an effective substitute for the
