- Hi - I've treated my forehead, upper lip and cheeks but the dermatologist left it up to me to decide when to treat my nose. I began yesterday morning and realize I don't have a clue how much of my nose to treat. Any ideas?Thanks.Aleksa
- I'm back with a question after no issues for a few years. History: I had a DVT in my R leg, ankle to pelvis, after brain surgery in 2009. I was on coumadin for a few months and now use a support stocking every day.last week I fell on a rocky beach...
- Haven't been here for a while but I'm so grateful for your wisdom around DVTs. I fell hard on my right knee last week - the same leg that has my DVT (femoral ankle to pelvis, post-surgery). Now my calf is very sore whenever I'm on it. I don't see...
- My eye doc has prescribed Alrex ( loteprednol etabonate ophthalmic suspension) see if it might make some difference to my dry eyes. But when I read the warnings I decided not to fill the Rx until I'd seen if anybody else has experience with this...
- I've been prescribed low dose estrogen vaginal tablets (Vagifem 10 mcg) to treat a stubborn bladder infection. One of the warnings is about "serious blood clots in the legs". Having had a DVT (ankle to pelvis, femoral vein) 3 years ago after brain...
- I've begun going to the gym, and one of the possibilities is exercise in the chlorinated pool. I think it would be good for me, but I can imagine my support stockings would be damaged by the chlorine pretty quickly. At the same time, I don't want...
- I have been invited to make a trip next year that would involve a non-stop 14 hour flight. The specialist has said I could do it with a shot the day before travel, the day of travel and the day of arrival in each direction. I can't remember the...
- Does anyone else find themselves having more conjunctivitis (pink eye) since their dry eye syndrome began?I've had a couple of bouts over the last few months and suspect it is bacterial conjuctivitis and suspect it is caused by my inability to wash...
- I have a post-surgery DVT, femoral vein, ankle to pelvis from 2.5 years ago - no coumadin for 1.5 years.My question: is massage on my DVT leg safe? I have pulled a ligament in my knee and have only been able to ease the pain to a certain extent...
- I'm now 2.5 years out of my brain surgery and aside from a few minor side effects (holes in my vision, balance, memory) I'm doing pretty well.The thing that bothers me day-to-day is my gait. When I walk I feel as though my legs are tree tunks -...
- While seeing a physician for an unrelated issue I was told I likely have Sjogren's syndrome. This doc also prescribed eyedrops that are a saturated solution of potassium iodide, 3 - 5 drops twice a day in juice. The Rx had to be filled at a...
- Thanks so much to all of you for the reassurance about flying with DVT. I can go to my son's wedding without worrying I'll turn up dead.Jennay 66 mentioned using an exercise band when she flew. What is that and how do you use it while flying?Is...
- I've haven't been around for a while because my DVT is very stable (I had DVT in 2008 after brain surgery - ankle to pelvis femorall vein - coumadin for a few months - last doppler ultrasound showed no change).Now my son is getting married and the...
- After a 3-week road trip my right calf is sore and I'm afraid it is another DVT, but reluctant to go to the dr. The pain is mild compared to the first DVT, in hospital, when I could hardly walk. There is no swelling, no redness, and no more warmth...
- I have an appointment to have a ductal plug in one tear duct next week. The doctor said it could reduce my need for eyedrops to every few hours instead of several times an hour. Has anybody had success with the plugs?
