erosion on my cornea

[Guest guest]

Interesting.....I am dealing with an Ulcerated Cornea.....Elevated Liver test and skin erosions.....I never thought about the Cornea being associated with RA.....when I emailed my RD's nurse.....She Called me back and said Doc wanted to see me ASAP and to Stop ALL RA meds. (@@).......going in tomorrow....so we'll see what's up with that.

Carla Who's having Withdrawals from something I guess.....freakin me out. and ohhhh the pain....but like I told the nurse....I'm just Lucky that way LOL.

find.> I was having eye problems that began last Feb. Felt like I hadsomething in my eye and then went away and came back worse inApril. My eye dr. said I had erosion on my cornea but didnt knowwhat was causing it, so he sent me to a corneal specialist. The

specialist examed my eye and asked me if I had been resently dx withRA. I said no. He says, dont be surprised if you are in the nearfuture. He gave me eye drops and recommended that I have my familydr recommend a rhumatoligist. I couldnt get in for about a month.

Between then and now, I've had severe pain in my fingers and wristsadn sometimes it feels like my hands have gone numb, knees and thebottoms of my feet hurt! And stiffness, & fatigue. Ive had time to

think back on things and some things that were happening to me, thatI should have went to the dr. with, I just brushed off, thinking, Iwas just getting older (I'm 54). My ankles are swollen now too. Myfamily dr. prescribed

shoulders....and chest, and my skin on both sides of my nose isbright red....its hard to cover with makeup, plus I have restlessleg syndrome and have to sleep with pillow between my legs, as ithurts for bones to touch. Also have had a low grade fever.
