GET TO AN EYE DOCTOR NOW! Hey Sue...I seem to have missed the symptoms you described with your eyes, but for what it is worth, I had a lot of eye problems before my official dx with PA...to the point of having to stop driving for a few weeks my vision was so bad. The treatment though was very easy, just drops, and the problems cleared up pretty quickly and my vision returned to normal. So don't be too afraid, it may not be too bad! Now I go to the optho every 6 months, so it would be good for you to have a relationship with one and just get checked every so often to be assured all is OK...

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 --- Hi Kathy, I did call an Eye Dr. this afternoon and they were worried. The lady that answered the phone put me on hold and went and talked to the Dr. she came back and asked me if I was having any pain-I told her I have stinging-but that might be from the ointment that the Dermy gave me. She gave me an appt. for the 29th, but she said if she had any cancellations she would call me. Thanks for being so caring for me. I am scared because of the spine also hurting-I got x-rays the last time I was at my Rheumy (Oct.), but haven't heard anything about them- I'm not sure if anything will show up on regular x-rays or not. I have a appt. for my Rheumy this coming week. Thanks again for caring and giving me that " push " I needed to call the eye Dr. God Bless, Sue in Michigan.

You have a chance of saving your sight if you get your problem diagnosed and treated. You are almost guaranteeing yourself a lifetime of vision problems if you don't. I know you are afraid of hearing bad news but the bad news is this: you might lose your eyesight if YOU don't do something about it. > > Please, please, please make an appointment this very second.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 --- Hi , Thanks so much for your message. I was suprized when my Dermy gave me this ointment instead of some sort of drops when I told him it was in my eye that was giving me the problem not the outside. My left eye has been bothering me for a few months-it was tolerable with the feeling something was in it-but now it has gotten worse and I feel like I'm looking through a halo with my vision foggy in a circle and kinda clear in the center. My right eye isn't affected yet (I'm keeping my fingers crossed). I can't read very long and watching and being on the computer hurts my eyes. I hope some drops will clear it up. Thanks and God Bless, Sue in Michigan.
