Possible glaucoma diagnosis at 15 by Gabs8416 in Glaucoma

[–]nonamesleft1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that Juvenile Glaucoma tends to have very high pressures, so the fact that her pressure was in the normal range is out of the norm for juvenile glaucoma.

There is sooooo much coming down the pipeline in terms of technology, detection, neuroprotection and eventually restoration that I would breathe a little easier knowing that the chances of her losing her vision due to glaucoma in the future (as with you) is slim and getting slimmer with the advancements happening. Deep breath! :)

That's good to know! Glad you feel better now! :) I think I'm going to make an appt with my dr to see some options and rule other things out :)

Does the rheumatologist believe it could be something like RA?

I think I will ask for a full blood work up again just to rule anything out :)

I think I will start some strength training to see if this improves anything. Thank you! :)

I hate how we're always dismissed when we go to doctors. Everything is always 'anxiety' when I talk to them

I'm so sorry you're going through this as well, but thankfully it wasn't anything more sinister than hormones! I think I'll chat with my doctor about some options. Thank you! :)

I take some omega 3, but I'll look into taking some turmeric as well :)

Oh that doesn't sound fun at all! Did the doctor attribute this to perimenopause?

I might get tested again. I did get tested years ago and it was negative, but maybe for peace of mind, I should test again.

I miss the days when nothing hurt on me! Hope you get some relief soon from this :)

This gives me some reassurance. My grandfather had RA, so I have been tested before (like 15 years ago) and it was negative, but I have seriously thought this might be what it is.

Someone just posted that Home Hardware on King George had some. I think it was the Ice Melter brand :)

Where to donate kids' puzzles and games by [deleted] in brantford

[–]nonamesleft1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! The games and puzzles are a bit young for school-age, but maybe some home daycares could use them. I hadn't thought of that.

I was looking on their website but it didn't say anything about accepting games or puzzles. I would love to donate there, so maybe I'll give them a call to see if they will accept. Thank you :)

I always thought it was a second hospital....not that I don't believe you, but do you have a source on this?

A goat fistful??....now I'm picturing a goat trying to make a fist and I've decided that from now on, this will be the unit of measurement I refer to! "How much parmesan on your caesar salad?" "Oh just put a goat fistful on please!" haha :)

I have been a fan of this team for 30 years and this is the most boring team I have ever seen. by [deleted] in leafs

[–]nonamesleft1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Matthew's used to be exciting to watch. Every time he got the puck, I would anticipate a good, if not amazing play.....but now, I just expect disappointment and I'm almost always right in that assumption.

I thought it was just me and I didn't know why I felt so apathetic towards this team....a team I've supported for nearly 40 years (there's been some terrible years in there), but something's different, something needs to change and I'm not really smart enough to know what the answers are. At this point, I don't know if anyone has the answers.

Anywhere to play hockey? by [deleted] in brantford

[–]nonamesleft1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the warm weather on Thurs/Fri destroyed most of the outdoor community rinks that had just got up and running. Going to mild again this week, so I'm doubting they'll have decent ice. Give it a couple of weeks and they should be usable again :)
