Guest guest Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Jamy, Hi I was passing through and saw this. You should ask about uveitis. This is caused by ocular inflammation, and one of the things that I also am being evaluated for. Its is often seen with another autoimmune disease and is very serios as the blindness is permanent. There is a fellow on the sjogren's forum with it...he is a uveitis patient advocate, like is for thyroid, because he has the disease himself. www.uveitis.org is the medical website. It can occur alone or with other disease processes. > well, I went to the eye DR today and I have lost 80% of my vision in less than a yesr in one eye. NOt cataracts, not glascoma, just blind. My left eye had a new lens from an eye injury. Anyone know any onon going blind and thyroid disease that is not TEDC from Grave? I have Hashi, very hypo and a good dose? > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
