Yes, . You can lose your sight. I've had repeated attacks of uveitis for 30+years. Even though I see my ophthalmologists and have treated at the first sign of symptoms, I now have a chronic problem that has to be treated everyday for years at a time. (my current flare has lasted for 1 1/2 years!) Initially, my flares would take about 2-3 months to clear up and I would have at least one flare a year. Now, after so many flares (that it would be impossible for me to count) it is much harder to treat. I have tried, unsuccessfully, to cut back on my drops. I'm down to 3 drops pred daily, which is as good as it gets lately.The doctor can see no cells, so we have it under control, but after trying to cut back to 2 drops a day, I start to have symptoms (blurry vision, the typical iritis pain, red eye, photo sensitivity, tearing, and the doctor starts to see the inflammatory cells.) I have had cataract surgery due to the steroid drops and I have glaucoma that also has to be treated with two medications daily. Most of my flares are in the same eye, however, I have had both eyes involved at the same time. Plaquenil helped me for several years, and it was nice to have several years of reprieve from my eye problems. I have found that our body makeup is smarter than we are...and after a few years it finds a way to get around most of the drugs we take to back off our hyper immune systems (like Plaquenil, Methotrexate, etc.) I'm waiting to see if the new TNF drugs are more efficient than the drugs we have tried so far. From what I have been hearing, at some point down the line, our immune system even out smarts these drugs. I only hope you have enough pred drops, dilating drops, and NSAID with you that if you cannot find an opthalmalogists..you can go ahead and treat your uveitis until you can get in to see one. If uveitis is not treated very early (1-2 days) your eye sight can be in danger and a flare that has been going on for more than a few days...can be much harder to treat and could start involving the vitreous (gel like portion of the eye).

You can lose your sight. Granny's right. I lost my vision completely in one eye. The " good " eye had frequent flares for five years and, as a result of the constant use of predforte, I developed a cataract. My vison in my only seeing eye was 20/100 this summer and it is an understatment to say that I was inconvenienced by the situation! I had surgery in August and I am seeing 20/20 corrected in the good eye. It was a huge leap of faith for me to allow my opthalmologist to take a knife to my only seeing eye, but I'm glad I did.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 It was working great until recently. I've been having a lot of pain again. The weather suddenly has turned very cool here and I'm wondering if that's why. I also quit taking a food supplement that was helping. I was wondering if it was helping so I quit, so I think it was what made the difference. I don't know. I did get the Humira one day late the last time and I don't know if that makes a big difference or not. Becky [ ] Re: eye problems > > > i know what you mean about the weather.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Dear Elda, I have also have had eye problems (burning, red, dry & a pressure like pain) since going on prednisone three years ago. I also went on Fosamax about the same time and so am not sure if it is the Fosamax or Prednisone. After last Dr.'s visit we decided I was to stop the Fosamax for six weeks and I am also in the process of weaning down on the prednisone. So, will let you know if my eye problems improve at all. I have tried some natural tear drops that seem to help a little???? Take Care, Shirlee [ ]eye problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Hi Sacora! I'm not sure which of the periodic fevers, genetic or not, would especially be affected by the inflammation and I don't think that NIH thinks eye problems are related to the diseases but PJ's eye doctor feels strongly that a disease that can affect so many other organs would most likely affect the eyes as well. He checks out PJ's eyes pretty thoroughly every 6 months. He has this new camera that gets pictures of the inside of the eye. So far he shows no signs of the deposits that you mention but his eyesight has gotten a little worse at each exam. What he told me to look for, during an episode especially, is a red tinged ring right around the part of the eye that is colored. PJ's eyes are brown so right around the outside of the brown part of the eye is where we would see it. The doctor says that this is a sign that the eyeball is inflammed and needs to be treated. I think he said he would use prednisone drops. I hope this helps! Pat --------------------------------- Love cheap thrills?

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 hi granny. i'm currently using tobradex, every hour. and two other drops 3 times a day (one is for dilating i think), and an ointment applied inside the eyelid at night. eye pressure is normal. have also had three injections to the eye over the past three days. no more to come i think. in china, my only major problem when getting treated is having the doctor explain how much and when to taper off with the medication. chinese doctors just say stop taking them when you feel better. i try to explain it isnt that simple. i always have to insist on some sort of plan and always insist on a followup appointment. no problem here as noone makes appointments, you just show up at the hospital and see whoever is there. which also means you cant see the same doctor all the time, a bit of a drawback. at any rate, i will let you know what happens. hopefully when i move to south china next month, i can find a doctor i can see consistently, when needed. thanks for the advice. james Grannyof9@... wrote: , the shot to your eye area was most likely a steroid shot. When you stop the Pred Drops too soon, your uveitis has a chance to produce more inflammatory cells. It seems your eye doctor is doing the correct thing. I've had quite a few steroid shots to the eye area. If the cells get into the vitreous area, that area is like a jell substance and it takes longer for the steroid med to work. The iris area is more liquid. With my chronic uveitis, I've had to put the eye drops in every hour for a bad flare-up. You must taper the drops very carefully as if you go off the meds too soon, the cells will multiply rapidly. Is your doctor giving you the dilating drops, too? __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 , I'm not familiar with Torbadex. I looked it up and besides a steroid, it has an antibiotic in it, too. I see it is mostly used for conjuctivitis, but sometimes used for iritis. The doctor probably had his reasons for prescribing this particular drug. What were your symptoms before going to the doctor? I'll mention what I know about bad uveitis flares, (I've never had conjunctivitis associated with my iritis flareups...and that treatment routine might be different). For a bad iritis flareup...like a 3+ or 4+ flare, it might take up to a couple of months using the Pred or other steroid drops. My doctor keeps a close watch, using the slit lamp ( the only machine that will show microscopic cells in the eye) to detect how it is progressing, every week for about a month. He'll prescribe every hour pred forte drops, which usually runs for a few days, tapering to every 2 hours, then tapering every 3 hours a few days, tapering to 4 hours couple of weeks, then down to 3 times day, 2 times a day, etc. ending (if all cells are gone) to one drop a day. The dilating drops, for me, usually run for the first week, then none. The dilating drops help with the pain and are used to deter any scar tissue growing. If after a week, I still have pain in my eye...I know I need the dilating drops. This is all for a bad flare up. Don't know what your beginning cell, count was, but it sounds as if it was a bad flare...as he put you on the every hour routine. If you were having just a little 1+ flare or less, he might put you on just 3 drops a day, tapering over a 6 week period, etc. I'm sure you know about ocular pressure...it's a catch 22 with the steroid drops and shots/inflammation causing the pressure to go up. Watch that ocular pressure closely. During these sessions of flare ups, my pressure would go up dramatically and had to have pressure drops added to meds. Towards the end (before my vitrectomy/glaucoma implant, I had a continuing flare up for years. I mean all the time. It was mostly because the cells got into the vitreous area, where the steroid drops have a hard time penetrating. I should have had the vitrectomy sooner, it would have prevented my glaucoma and loss of eye sight. It is something for all who have chronic uveitis to remember. A lot of opthalmalogists just don't have the teaching about chronic uveitis associated with HLA B27 genetic makeup. I finally have a good doctor in Florida who specializes in arthritic uveitis due to Ankylosing Spondylitis, ReA, Lupus, etc. A little too late for me, but this is why I like to post to this group about their chronic uveitis. I forgot to mention to you something that had helped Priscilla in our group, me and many others who are plagued with iritis....was the addition of Plaquenil. 200 mg for the first three months....400 thereafter. It helped me for a few years of no flareups. It is a malaria type drug, but when used for iritis inflammation at a lower dose, it has few side effects. I took it at bedtime and slept through any side effects. You have to have reg eye exams while on it. They think that some of the properties in the Plaquenil are anti-inflammatory. My best to you. Hope this will be your last iritis attack. Connie (granny) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Tom, my eye vision was a big issue. I had a vaseline like smear and loss of vision. I went to the eye DR and he did the eye dye test and took pics for me to see the damage. I am on the Restasis drops twice a day, and over the counter Systane 2 or 3 times ( a very thick drop to lubricate). It is helping, about 3 weeks later I had some vision return to that area but I still have pain occasionally 6 mos later. I just had the test again last week. It shows pitting on the iris and damage in the whites of my eyes. But it is less, and he said considering my ReA is not controlled, at least the eyes show improvement. Good luck. I wake up in pain, try to get some drops in and open my eyes then put in the Restasis a bit later. Everyone has to find a good Dr, meds and routine that works. Hope you find yours soon.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 , I've done the same thing....way back in the past. Then, when I started having in chronically....I was in the eye doctor's office almost every week. I think I put his children through college! It was needed though, and even with constant attention....I came down with glaucoma. It is a testy condition and a real pain. No one realizes how important our sight is. Hopefully, this will be your last attack and it will be a thing of the past. Your fortunate to have good foreign doctors who know how to treat iritis. I envy your travels. I love to see how others live and recognize their different cultures. We traveled to Russia during the cold war period. Yes, during that time when no one was allowed in or out of Russia. It was a special exchange of medical facilities and treatments with only doctors and their wives on board. We traveled in their airplanes, through their airports, and met some very interesting people. Soldiers from Liberia who were training in Russia. We traveled to Moscow, then to Tashkent and then to Bucharest, which today is ruled by a terrible dictator (Uzbecistan). We enjoyed the Muslim people in that area the most. They were more friendly and open to us at that time. I had taken a small suitcase filled with sweets and bubble gum. The children were delighted. I don't think I will ever have salami again. That is all we ate for breakfast, lunch and dinner. As far as their medical technology, they have made much progress since this time. Again, hope you get over this flare up so you can enjoy your life. Best regards, Granny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 hi granny, i had a flareup of uveitis in early may, and saw an opthalmologist. however at that time i was in south china on a short holiday, and after two weeks stopped the drops without getting a recheck. all felt fine and while i usually doa followup appointment after taking meds for uveitis, i neglected to do so. my eye didnt feel as if it was inflamed when i went to the hospital last weekend but i guess it was, a bit serious. so the result was the three injections and now hourly dose of tobradex and some dilating drops. back to hospital this weekend to have another followup. this is the only time i've allowed the uveitis to get out of control like that since my first episode nearly 5 years ago. i'll be sure to not let it happen again. i hope its my last attack as well, but who knows? maybe one day it'll just burn itself out...... james __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Jackie said I suffered horribly with eye problems for over 3 months while curing my candida. I couldn't open my eyes in the morning because they were glued shut from the gunk, which was green and yellow, thick and oozy. Yuk! Yes, candida is to blame for eye problems. Only the diet and supplements will eventually cure any ailment because it builds up the immune system. Of course antifungals help lessen candida colonies in the meantime, and probiotics implant good bacteria and also kills off candida. I knew a guy in my candida support group in 1986 that would get flaming red eyes whenever he cheated. His wife was also on the program and his red neon eyes were a dead giveaway. lol! > > Also, does candida flare up before it gets better? ==>It seems to because it is being killed off in large numbers which puts out more toxins; it's the toxins that make it seem like candida is flaring up, but actually it is being killed off.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Hi Zoe and Stuck, You could have anflamed tear ducts and also inflamed ducts along your eyelid. Some infections are passed on from one person to the next especially when it comes to eyes. Although I have no medical experience, I often apply the organic coconut oil directly to my cornea when it gets inflamed from the s Syndrome. This feels like hEAVEN to me! It is a natural antifungal/antibiotic. This you must decide on your own if you feel comfortable doing. To lessen the inflammation on the eyelids, make a wahcloth very warm and moist. Apply at least 15 minutes to each eye. ( You may want to have 4-5 warm wash cloths ready in a hot pot. I wwould not recommend usng a hot pad or hot water bottle on top of the moist cloth for your child as it may scald her fac . But for yourself, this works ncely and you do not have to keep changing the washcloth. I use the microwaveable hot pack ( microwaved for 1 minute) which came with my pyrex portables. Just make sure the pack does not touch your skin. After this routine, take a clean corner of one of the washcloths and wipe from inner corner outward from eye. This will unclog any pores. Each time you make a pass use another corner of the cloth until all four corners are used. When I am finished with this, I apply the organic coconut oil. Make sure that you take pictures of your eyes so that you can show it to a octor if it ever occurs again. You may want to write down where you and your child have been, what activities you two were doing, and what you two had been eating before this happened. This will help you narrow it down if it occurs again. Fell better soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 > > Hello Bee, > > From what I've hear from the files all the eye treatments are suggested for eye infection and/or problems. What I'm having problems with is my right eye is protruding much more than it ever has. On Monday my doctor was alarmed because the right eye 10 mm bigger than the left eye. This is causing a great deal of difficulty for me. The eye lid is not long or wide enough to go over the eye in order to keep it lubricated, this caused the tears to accumulate and then drop off before I can realize what has happened. This on its own is very embarrassing. > > Is there anything in the files that I've missed with regards in keeping the eyes lubricated especially at night? > > On a windy day I'm homebound, if I go out I come back with an eye infection. ==>Maddalena, could you possibly be experiencing re-tracing symptoms from your previous eye problems?? But your doctor should be able to tell you what the problem is, and if he can't then it is healing reactions or re-tracing. ==>Also please write what treatments from the files you are trying.

My statemenet shows/confirms what you've said all along we can get candida from the moment we are conceived from our parents. I strongly believe that this is what I've been suffering and having to face from the day I was born. I've had eye problems from day one, however, one of my eyes is getting really bad. At times I feel like a punching bag, being punched from one doctor to the either: Nose and throat specialists, allergists, eye doctors and eye surgeons. No one can tell me what is going on with my eye. One of them went as far as telling me to have the affected eye taken out since I can see anyway. I was so furious to say the least. I've tried all the treatments in your files for the eye treatments and sinus, since one of the doctors said the MRI shows I have a hole in the frontal sinus. The only relief I get is by putting a few drops of oil of oregano and/or Olbas on a cotton ball and stick it up the nostrils one at a time. The fumes are strong it clears out the eyes, sinus and my resperatory track. Thanks Bee for listening and for your help. Sorry for not answering sooner I missed your post and had to do a search to see if you had answered before asking the question again.
