Positive Effect of Tocotrienol on T2D subjects
Of late, I have been reading the effect of a compound called Tocotrienols (one of the two classes of compounds available in Vitamin E) on type-2 diabetes subjects. According to some of the research papers published (links provided below) , having 250 to 400 mg of tocotrienol for around 6 months reduced

GCA-Diagnosis
So far on my journey after diagnosis of GCA was put on 60 mg Prednisone and went down slowly to none. Have been on Actemra shot weekly for 16 months now with no flare. Has anyone gotten of Actemra as well as Prednisone with no problems?

Get Your Cataracts Treated!
Age-Related Macular Degeneration sufferers experience a gradual deterioration in their sight due to changes in the macular. Most sufferers are, of a certain age! Another common age-related eye condition is the development of a cataract, so it is not unusual to suffer from both conditions simultaneously

Anesthesia and PD
I’m planning on having Morton’s neuroma surgery in a few weeks, unless I chicken out! I’m concerned about any negative effects because of anesthesia . I’m going to check to see if doing some type of block instead of General, is a possibility. Has anyone had that operation, or have experience with different

Is there a link with taking Forstair and cataracts?
I was diagnosed with late onset asthma just before the first Covid lockdown. My eyes were always fine until then, but within a year of taking Forstair I was diagnosed with cataracts in both eyes. My research suggests the steroid in the inhaler might be responsible, but it has been dismissed by my GP

GCA Concerns, Cold and Eyes
I hope everyone had as wonderful a Christmas as I did, despite our health battles. I flew to Arkansas where 2 of my adult kids and 4 of my grandkids live. 2 other adult kids and their spouse and fiancé came, and it’s been a wonderful time. A cold was going around, and I caught it. Just the sniffles,
