Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 THANK YOU! TO ALL THAT WROTE AND ALL THE GOOD INFORMATION. IT IS A VERY COMPLICATED DISEASE. I HAVE NOT READ THAT LUPUS EFFECTS THE EYES. I'M VERY CONFUSED WHY THE EYE DOCTOR MENTIONED IT AND TODD IS BEING TESTED WITH AN ANA BLOOD TEST. HE HAS CLUMPS OF WHITE BLOOD CELLS GROWING ON THE BOTTOM OF HIS RETINA'S. THE EYES ARE VERY LIGHT SENSITIVE. DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE TO WAIT TILL NEXT MONDAY BEFORE THE TEST RESULTS ARE BACK. IS THIS SOMETHING I WILL HAVE TO ALWAYS WORRY ABOUT. ARLENE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 Hi Arlene, Eye problems are what caused my doctor to test me for Lupus. My problem was different from your sons. My right eye became very light sensitive and very red. The ophthalmologist found that I had Iritis....inflammation of the iris. I hope your son's eyes are feeling better now. It's no fun.....kind of scary. Hugs... Karol THANK YOU FROM ARLENE THANK YOU! TO ALL THAT WROTE AND ALL THE GOOD INFORMATION.IT IS A VERY COMPLICATED DISEASE.
