Oh yes, silly me I forgot this had been discussed earlier by Kcat. I did say I would mention it to my consultant.
I mentioned it to mine yesterday but she showed very little interest. 🙁
Sorry to hear you are stil having those eye problems Jeannie. That itch would drive me wild too.:(
Yes, my next test will be August, so I can relax for now.:):)
Observation Moonfairy, I always thought your Avatar was an eye :rollaugh:

Maybe you should have gone to Specsavers Jeannie.:hidesbehindsofa:
Moonfairy, I just saw your post on your eye pressure- GREAT NEWS !!! I am so happy for you !! My last eye doctor visit went very well, also. Eye pressure variance 1-2 points in each eye. The doctor was amazed again at how my pressure has come down. Wish I had made this discovery prior to my first surgery. Despite that fact, I am still experiencing the lowest eye pressure I've ever had. One of these days I 'may' tell the doctor what I have been doing, but don't know when that will be. Stories like yours energize me. I always feel I have a debt to pay for those who got me on the natural health path for my cancer. I wish you health !!

I am just wondering why this thread is under Head and Neck problems?

The BioAstin is the trade name of the product I took which contains the astaxanthin which Kcat has written about. I have just ordered some more capsules of the internet and they come by 1st class post.
Hello Moonfairy, could you possibly tell me how you choose out of the vast aray
available, strength etc,
🙂

Hi Jeannie
I just did a Google search on 'Astaxanthin' and didn't find any side effects for it. It looked like it didn't matter which capsules of it I took, except that I think I recall the 4mg strength was adequate to be taken once a day. Anyway, I just decided to go for BioAstin from this site. Their service was good too. I might try a different one next time, probably cheaper.:)
Let me know if you do try the astaxanthin and which product, Jeannie. I find it very interesting. BTW, how did your eye appointment go? Hope all was ok for you.
Hugs

Thanks for info, I showed my consultant info about Astaxanthin but he just thrust it back at me a**h*** no he isn't really, he is in fact very nice but it is so frustrating when they won't even entertain the idea of something out of the normal 'medical' world.
My pressure was very slightly up and I told him about the discomfort I am having, he just said to bathe them every day with cooled boiled salty water. I have done but they are still bothering me greatly. I have to have the yukky Fields test in May, I just can't SEE the point in that test it is (to my mind) totally unrealiable and it is about time they moved with the times and got something more sensible.
I am going to order some tablets today anyway...

More or less the same happened to me. I showed my consultant the jar and she was not interested.:( Too alternative for her I suppose. 😉 But I really do believe this has lowered my eye pressures so am going to carry on taking them.

Sorry to hear this Jeannie. Have you tried using comfort eye drops? There are some called Blink I sometimes use, which are very soothing - intensive tears. Just a thought ............... 🙂
I hate that field test too. I always dread them but seem to do them ok. This time they didn't set up the lens properly at first and I had to tell them it was all blurry.:rolleyes: She then changed the lens. Phew.:)

jeannie, unfortunately, your consultant's response is very typical. That is the reason I pretty much keep to myself what I am doing with regard to natural remedies. I have stated before that my faith in 'the drug pushers in white coats' is at it's lowest ebb-I just don't trust them. Take a myriad of prescription drugs with horrific side effects-that's OK, but stay away from any natural products with NO side effects. I'm still waiting for the US FDA (Friend of Drug Advocates) to approve ANY natural remedy-glad I didn't hold my breath !!!

I have NO PROOF of this, either, but you may want to Google 'astaxanthin and sun burn' and see what you may find there. I am in the sun almost daily with temps around 92 F and never get a sunburn. Read up on the explanation-very interesting !
