Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Hi Geeta, I am waiting to have cataract surgery also. Both eyes. My doc said that the prednisone would not affect this surgery. I intend to double check before scheduling it but she did not seem at all concerned. ann > > I had cataract surgery about 8 months ago....because of this lung stuff the couldn't give me a full dose of the feel good stuff, but it was still not too bad. > As an artist I was amazed at what I can see now...........such clarity....You'll love it >  PF 01/05 diabetis forever, pagents disease 1975 68yo Atlanta. > > > > > ________________________________ > > To: Breathe-Support > Sent: Wed, December 30, 2009 1:53:46 PM > Subject: Re: cataract surgery > >  > Hi Geeta!.... yes, my cataract surgery was about a year ago and no, I'm not taking Prednisone. > I'm glad you are getting your eye fixed.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Geeta, You will be in my thoughts and prayers and I'm sure all will go well. My Dad had cataract surgery 3 years ago and he had to use the steroid eye drops for several weeks before the surgery. That of course, doesn't help you at all. Why don't you give your pulmo a call and find out. Your eye surgeon knows all about your lung condition right? Know that we'll all be thinking of you!

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Beth, Thank you for your response ,your wishes and prayers.As I said I had my right eye done about 11years back , I was on higher dose of prednisone and my pulmo had inreased the dosage 10days before the surgery and brought it down later but this time my doc had not done so, so i thought of asking you guys. i will speak to him too. Yea my opthamic surgeon was shown all my papers and he is aware of my condition.. It was fairly simple last time and I was out of hospital the same day. I do hope it will be so this time too. Interestingly when I had a small MCI a few months later my pulmo felt it could have been brought on by the stress of the cataract surgery.He says 'you may not have felt the stress but the body has been under stress'.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Geeta, I would absolutely say it's possible that the stress from the surgery brought on the MCI. Possible but of course no way to know for certain. Stress, even happy stress, can do things to our bodies that we don't expect.In many ways we are already stretched to the limit just coping with our lungs, anything that gets added can cause our bodies to revolt a bit. So I suppose the moral of the story is to be kind and patient with ourselves and get a bit more rest than we think we really need to get by. I'll be thinking of you!

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Geeta Our bodies consist of so many interconnected parts including our brain and everything that impacts one of those parts can also then indirectly impact others. Sometimes we're aware and sometimes we aren't. Certainly the composition of the chemicals and neurotransmitters released by our brain are impacted by the least disturbance so something like cataract surgery would do so. We're so complex. Think of something as simple as a bug bite on your leg or as hitting your foot against something and how quickly you feel it, how the message is transmitted. Sometimes we're not aware. I think of post VATS when I wasn't aware I needed pain killers but my lungs needed them because they were feeling the pain that I wasn't mentally processing. A great example right now is Peggy and her morphine. The science of how it works is still somewhat debated but the reality that it does work is not. > > > > Geeta, > > You will be in my thoughts and prayers and I'm sure all will go well. My Dad had cataract surgery 3 years ago and he had to use the steroid eye drops for several weeks before the surgery.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Beth, Both you and Bruce are in agreement with my old pulmo.!! he was great for me , made my diagnosis way back in 1995 when there were hardly any cases of fibrosis and people here had nev er heard of it. He refused to allow any cardiologist to treat that time when I had the MIC and insisted on treating me himself he stabilised me after the infraction within 24 hrs. he was always meticulous in his treament and gave all his findings and diagnosis in writihg. ufortunately i had to part from him as he did not want me to under go surgery for my hiatal hernia as he felt i would not survive it, while tha gastronterlogist was rightly of the opinion that i had no other option .later I contiued with pulmo at that hospital who is a student of my former pul monologist. sorry for rambling Geeta > > > > Geeta, > > You will be in my thoughts and prayers and I'm sure all will go well. My Dad had cataract surgery 3 years ago and he had to use the steroid eye drops for several weeks before the surgery.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 ann, As MB says, it is quite a simple surgery and you will have no problems. I do not know why the prednisone is upped before the surgery MB or Bruce could answer better, i guess it has to for making you lungs face the stress better , or may be becoz of the little anesthasia they will be using. All the best for your surgery! Wish you a happy new year!

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Geeta It's actually an involved issue of much debate and therefore one where individual physicians may vary. However, my very layman comments would be that your system is suppressed and you're about to invoke trauma on it which might cause inflammation or other immune system type reactions and therefore taking extra precaution might be appropriate. Stated differently, you take Prednisone because your system (immune and otherwise) has overreacted (whether connective tissue disease or inflammation or fibrosis). You're going to have surgery which may well make your system react even more. So, the extra prednisone for the brief period. Now some doctors don't believe an increase is necessary but it's often based on what dosage you've been on, how long, and how active your conditions are. Some of the medical arguments center around the HPA or HPTA axis (HPA is Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) and the interactions between those organs and the effect of your body's cortisol on that interaction. This comes back to the entire complexity of our entire systems and their interconnectivity. > > > > > > I had cataract surgery about 8 months ago....because of this lung stuff the couldn't give me a full dose of the feel good stuff, but it was still not too bad. > > > As an artist I was amazed at what I can see now...........such clarity....You'll love it > > >  PF 01/05 diabetis forever, pagents disease 1975 68yo Atlanta. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ________________________________ > > > From: Sher <bofus6@> > > > To: Breathe-Support > > > Sent: Wed, December 30, 2009 1:53:46 PM > > > Subject: Re: cataract surgery > > > > > >  > > > Hi Geeta!.... yes, my cataract surgery was about a year ago and no, I'm not taking Prednisone. > > > I'm glad you are getting your eye fixed.

I know that Sher had her surgery recently but she does not take prednisone am I right? Wishing every one a Happy New year! Geeta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
