Another Uveitis Flare Up

I've not been well. First there was a general feeling of nausea and lethargy in the past 2 weeks. From there, an intense migraine with visual aura. Pain lasted for 5 days, ending with the usual ulcerated mouth (figure that one out), last Monday.

Got over the "hangover" effect of the migraine late Tuesday only to develop intense pain within my left eyeball and a deep bloodshot.

Wednesday (Australian) visited the optometrist and was told of a severe flare up of uveitis. I'm now administering Prednefrin hourly and Atropine every 6 hours.

These uveitis flare ups are a major source of anxiety. 

My chest is more painful than usual when I breathe and tighter.

I hope this isn't a precursor to a sarcoidosis flare up in my lungs,these signs are not good.

    Happy new year Zss

    Hope your eyes getting better

    I get that you fear the roids, but what about a depot jab? These sometimes get you out of trouble and do there own tail

    Best wishes Newton

      Hello Newton,

      I have never had that mentioned by any of the specialists or my GP in regards to prednisolone.

      There is however an alternative treatment to prednisolone eyedrops. I will definitely be persuing that.

      All the best to you and your family Newton.
