Questran for Bile Acid Malabsorption
Does anyone know an alternative medication for Questran as there is now unavailability due to supply problems? I am having a bad attack of Bile Acid Malabsorption at the moment and am virtually housebound by it! Any help would be much appreciated 🙏

is yoga ok?
I’ve very recently been diagnosed with glaucoma after losing sight in the top half of my right eye, which has been a real shock. I’ve been going to Yoga and Pilates classes for a number of years, both of which I feel have helped with a back issue and have kept me fit and very active at 67, I’m loath

cataract
Hi all, I realise cataracts are commonplace from Steroid use . I’ve had one for years, possibly from a childhood eye injury. It’s now becoming a problem , affecting my sight. It’s Encapsulated, not as straightforward. My main concern is healing. It took a year for my leg to heal. Do you advise

Floundering

Blood in syringe
Hi all Just a quick question to those who self inject please. I've just given myself my peg shot, and when I removed the syringe, I noticed that there was blood inside it even though I didn't pull back the syringe in any way while injecting. I did get a bit of blood collecting on my skin after removing

Safe eye makeup
I'm a 69 y/o female taking Lumigan eye drops for dx of Glaucoma suspect and IOP (took Latanoprost drops previously but my pressure was increasing a bit so changed drops). My pressures have been pretty consistent at 17 in both eyes, so I feel pretty lucky right now. I had a S/P LPI procedure in 2012 (

hi - I am healthy & 65. Very myopic (-10 & -9) with glaucoma in left eye). I have just dropped below DVLA driving limit so consultant is recommending cataract surgery in both eyes (NHS).

Rituximab and Denosumab
Has anyone had a Denosumab injection after having a Retuximab infusion. I have just had my second infusion and due a Denosumab injection soon. Just read that Denosumab can increase the risk of serious infection with Rituximab. Rheumatology have said that it's OK, but I don't trust them.
