Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Yikes! Hope you don't have to cancel your trip. I too am having trouble with my eyes. I assumed that the drugs were causing the problems, but the dr says that RA causes the dryness or redness in the eyes. I hope that your appointment goes well and have a fantastic time on your trip.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Lynn, Does it look very blood shot? Also, do you have any drainage, itching, or feel like something is in it? If so, it may be Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye) - usually treated with eye drops, and shouldn't affect your trip. By the way, have fun in Disney Diane - in NJ dianeflemings@...

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Hi Diane, No I don't have any of the things you mentioned. I have had a cold for a week. I didn't go to the doctors because I felt it was getting better. It wasn't bad just my throat was a little sore. With me when I get something I keep it for a long time. Colds can last three weeks, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. Plus I was with my grandchildren all week end and they are all on medication because they are sick. Love them dearly but they are germ factories. See what the doctor says. thank you, \Lynn Re: [ ] OT EYE > Lynn, > Does it look very blood shot?

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 We discussed this topic a couple of weeks ago because I have the same problem. It could be associated with Sjogrens Syndrome, or maybe not. I've had this happen with no pattern or explanation, but it usually goes away in a few days and is not painful or change your vision. From my experience, don't worry about it and see a doctor if you're worried about it. It hasn't affected me so far. Dennis [ ] OT EYE > HI, > I JUST WANTED TO CHECK AND SEE IF SOMEONE CAN HELP.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Lynn, it might be a broken blood vessel and if so is probably harmless. Let us know what your doctor says.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 I will be interested to hear what other people have to say. I had this happen twice (in both eyes at the same time) during the period when I was having RA sypmptoms, but had not yet been diagnosed. Since I've been on prednisone, it hasn't happened. --- In , " Ruf-Caimi " <ruf-caimi@...> wrote: > > HI, > I JUST WANTED TO CHECK AND SEE IF SOMEONE CAN HELP.
