Dear All
I have just been prescribed Lumigan 3%.
My eyes have been under observation for 18 months, 6 months ago the consultant suggested we start eye drops for glaucoma even thought my eye pressure is normal.
I wear glass, he tells me my vision is good and my field of vision is good.
Unfortunately the pictures taken of my optic nerve? indicating glaucoma ?
I have/was diagnosed with fibromyalgia last July, due to the controversy over this diagnose I have been very reluctant in accepting the finding.
Last year I also started with acute pain in my lower right rid area, this has been diagnosed as Focal Nodular hyperplasia, the consultant informed me the pain I get in this region is not due to the above, but due to fibro? I’m still insisting the pain is due the tumour as it hurts like billy-O, if I drink alcohol and if eat too big a portion of food.
I have now accepted the fibro diagnoses my symptoms are gradually getting worse but hey ho.
The reason for this post = is anyone else administering the above Lumigan? I’m told my eyes will change colour over time from blue to brown, that the skin around my eyes will darken, on the up side my eyelashes may get thicker and longer? Not that this compensates for the above.
My eyes this morning are slightly red and ache more than they normal do, my morning head ache is also worse.
Can anyone tell me their experiences?
I hate self pity and know I have little compared to some to moan about but last night I cried my eyes out. It all came crashing in; I have other problems.
I’m 42, I take 50 mg Amitriptyline my doctor wants to get this up to 75 but every time I try to increase the dose it makes me feel worse.
I take up to 3000mg Co-codamol 500/30mg a day have been for the last 2 years, prior to that for the past 10 years I’ve been on and off lots of other pain meds, for the past 20 years I been on and off antidepressants.
I’m putting serious thought to maybe it’s these drugs that have caused the illnesses I have now?
Thank you all for listening.
Love and Peace
