Anyone try and like it?
The preservative is supposed to dissolve away once the drop hits your eye so there's no risk of eye damage or irritation from the preservative.
Seems like it's best of both worlds, no?
My condition is such that I can only be upright in a semi-fowlers position of about 30-45 degrees.
I'm having sudden eye trouble.
How can I get an eye exam if I can't sit upright and require ambulance service or a reclined wheelchair to get anywhere?
Thanks for any info.
It used to tell you (and show you) how much SNAP was deposited into your account. Now all it shows you or tells you are your shopping transaction amounts and your current balance.
How is someone supposed to know if more (or less) than their SNAP benefit amount was deposited, call the main hotline and be on hold an hour to ask a case worker every month?
If we get more mistakenly deposited than our determined SNAP amount, then we have to pay that back to Medicaid. That's why I always check every month to make sure they deposit the correct amount. Now I have no clue what amount they deposited.
Anyone have any input? I'm calling a case worker? on Monday to tell them that they removed a vital feature and we need it back.
I was on the r/Anemia sub and saw a post that some people experienced hypokalemia after treating their anemia with oral iron supplements.
Anyone here suddenly get hypokalemia after iron supplements?
Anyone here who already has hypokalemia have their hypokalemia get worse after iron supplements?
I know hypophosphatemia can be a risk with some IV iron preparations.
But has anyone heard of getting hypophosphatemia from taking oral iron supplements?
Update: Iron Citrate is an iron supplement and phosphate binder, it will drop your phosphorus levels.
This form of iron supplement also binds to phosphorus and is used on CKD patients to reduce their elevated phosphorus levels.
I suffer from low phosphorus levels and discovered this info today when researching different forms of iron supplements.
I believe it's the only form of iron supplement that has this effect.
It's known as iron citrate or ferric citrate.
Mine went up 44.96% from 2024.
Anyone successfully appeal theirs?
Are different regions/districts of Schaumburg taxed differently, like does south Schaumburg have higher taxes than northern?
I just found a great infographic on IG explaining what all the blood test markers for iron deficiency/anemia mean.

What are your thoughts on the research showing an association with MGUS and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease?
Anyone heard of paid survey site Buddy Poll or used it? Is it legit? I can't seem to find reviews for it anywhere. I'm in the U.S.

Why do demons attack some Orthodox Christians more on feast days or their name day? I know it can happen to everyone now and then, but is this normal if it happens consistently? What does the EO Church teach about this?
Anyone know what these are from?
Fungus? Injury?

An interesting video showing an alternative procedure to remove gallstones in place of surgical removal of the entire gallbladder:
I can log in as usual but after that I get this message:
"No account found. Please add an account by clicking the "Add Acccount" button."
Last month I had no issue viewing my account and my SNAP balance.
Medicaid Helpline says to call back, phone agents are busy. I still have the SNAP benefit, I called the SNAP phone line (800) 678-5465.
Anyone know what's up with the website? I live in Illinois.
Thanks.

I'm not diagnosed with any thyroid disease and taking no thyroid meds. I do have a tiny thyroid cyst.
My recent labs are TSH 2.217, Free T4 0.92
According to online optimal ranges, I'm hypothyroid.
According to my doctor and my lab's ranges, I'm normal, no thyroid disease.
Thoughts?
I'm taking for 2 years now calcium citrate 500mg twice a day with meals and am wondering. I'm post menopausal.
My recent iron lab results: Iron: 70 Calc TIBC: 334 % Sat: 21 Ferritin: 58 UIBC: 264 All CBC labs are normal except MPV: 6.9
I look pale and feel weak but also have other chronic illnesses and mineral deficiencies. My hematologist (I see her for the disorder MGUS) always says my labs look fine and that I don't have anemia. I'll have to ask her about non-anemia iron deficiency.
Was wondering your thoughts as anemia patients. Thanks.
On the IDHS Notice of Privacy Practices form it states in one section:
"Organ and Tissue Donations. In limited circumstances, IDHS can share health information about you to an organ procurement organization."
I hope this is ONLY if you put yourself as an organ donor on your driver's license or on a donor registry.
What about if you're not an organ donor or don't want to be one, does IDHS still call these organ agencies and inform them of your end of life status? These organ donation companies can be very aggressive and pressure the family.
Does anyone have any more information on this?
