Alia,

Please walk me through what a 1+, 2+, 3+ means vs. being able to

indicate the number of cells. As you can tell, I'm clueless on

this. thanks for sharing your info.

. I am not really sure what it means. THe doctor told me

that when they do the slit test that they are measuring the number

of white blood cells. Similar to your blinds in your house. That's

how he referred it to me. He said that when the laser is shone into

their eys white blood cells may appear. If they can count them

individualy it is not good, but nothing too serious. The 1+ etc.

refers to the clusters of white blood cells and usually indicates

that there are too many cells to count. I believe 3+ is the worse.

He told us that we want to see few or rare and that means we are in

the clear.

I am not sure if I explained it correctly... Maybe someone else can

chime in?

What does the Doctor say about Logan's perscription increasing every

time? Does he or has he

taken the eye drops too? Sorry to hear that even with close

monitoring his perscription continues to increase? Does the Doctor

feel this will level out at some point?

*****************************************************

The Dr doesn't say much about it increasing everytime. he just feels

that,at some point,it will level off. I don't know,though,,because my

daughter,who is 11,,is still having hers increased,pretty often. No,,he

doesn't take the drops. He doesn't have uveitis,or iritis,,just really

bad vision. I have 3 out of my 4 kids,in glasses. I'm sure my youngest

will be in them soon,,LOL.

Hi there!! One of my favorite experiences with coconut oil was with an " EYE

INFECTION " !! I had read in on of my coconut oil books about someone using

coconut oil for a sinus infection. I had a day where my left eye started to get

a bit scrathcy feeling while I was casing my mail. As the day passed, it got

worse, I had an eye infection. That night remembering what I had read, I decided

to take my VCO which was solid at the time, and melt a small portion into each

eye, every couple of hours. I was also scared that the infection would spread to

my sinus cavities, so I tilted my head back and put some coconut oil up my

nostrils, also. By about NOON the next day, I was feeling MUCH better, but, I

continued the applications, and was completely cured by the following day!This

may SOUND cruel, but, it's actually a VERY SAFE way not only to do this, but to

generally give a resistant child, medication. Sit down on the floor, place your

childs head right up next to you, between your

legs, and put the childs arms under your legs. Now your child cannot move it's

head back and forth, and you can give or apply what ever medications you need to

without hurting the child, or getting upset with it. A neat TRICK, is if you

need the child to swallow something, put whatever it is, or part of it, into

your childs mouth, and then BLOW into their face! This causes an automatic

reaction of them swallowing. TRY it IT works!!!Anyway, in this position, you

could also open up your childs EYE, and put a bit of coconut oil into it. Again,

without hurting either YOU or your CHILD!! Your child may not like this

approach, BUT it IS effictive. You could also take this oppertunity to put a bit

on VCO into each nostril, thus helping to get rid of any nasty sinus BUGGERS

that may be trying to get hold.Hope that this can be of some help! I've raised 8

kids, so I know a few tricks!!GOOD LUCK!!G. Hannatwinkieha2@... --- On

Hi there,I'm back again...As for your childs skin problems...use the expellar

pressed coconut oil! It's a bit cheaper but not lacking in quality!!As for your

Breast Milk, have you gotten all of the vegetable oils OUT of your diet? You and

your child would be much better off. Read the lables of EVERYTHING that you buy

at the store, it's a bit time consuming, but it pays off in the end. Is your

baby on SOY milk? If so, I would truly recommend that you go STRICTLY to

breast!! Soy products, despite all their publicity, are NOT as good for you ( OR

YOUR CHILD) as as they would have you believe!! You can research this on the

inter-net. Yes, YOU need to watch what you put INTO your body as you are

supplying that to your child! Mind you that your body will STEAL from ITSELF to

give your child the nutrients that are required.AGAIN, GOOD LUCK!!G.

Hi stuck,

The Taiwan master always makes VCO into ice cubes, rub it onto her eye when

she is in pain. Try it, it should help. Reason being our pore will open up

when contact with sudden freeze cold, this will spend up the absorption of

VCO. Being prepared to see swollen eye or rashes on it. The adult saw take 1

month the swollen go off, your baby I think within a week may be fine, if

she a little girl, if she bigger her detox may be more. VCO is good for

eczema too, apply on it too.

Your partial breast feeding, I am not sure with it was the cause of the baby

problem, you should be better in answer it yourself. Do you have any health

problems? Did you go for medial check up and the doctor advice not to breast

feed your baby? If not breast feeding is the best for your baby, it should

not be the cause. Be confidence of ‘the MOM greatest love –breast feed’. It

build antibodies, she will be very health with it. Why partial breastfeed?

So you mix with formula milk? Working? Than try fresh goat milk, which has

the closest contents with our human milk. I breastfeed my elder daughter

(Charis)for 3 years (not a single formula milk) and she is very healthy, we

don’t even have a family doctor as we don’t for sick. Her normal syndrome is

just to have a bit of wet nose in the morning and was gone in the evening

without any medicine. This happen very ½ yearly. We go on 100% fruit diet

once we feel not well and recover fast.

Hope this may help you.

Not sure if this is any help, but Sjogren's syndrome can be a secondary or

primary condition related to arthritis. It causes dry eyes, mouth, and attack

moisture producing glands. There is a support site for this online that is

fantastic, but I need to take my daughter to infusions. If you can't find it

let me know. Google it. I do know that my daughter has dry eyes and there are

millions of nerves that causes pain because of this. Go to a dark room, and

apply warm compresses to your eyes for about 20 minutes. Endura drops help as

well. Resting your eyes, and making sure you blink is so important.

I have a question:

To the jra veterans, and any parents whose child has experienced this?

The RA is affecting my right eye. It has been dripping constantly since

last tuesday. The eye doctor says that RA commonly causes dry eye, it

just did it suddenly and severely with me. They prescribed tears, and

I've been using them 1-2 times an hour with no relief. I called the eye

doctor on call yesterday, and he said that although they said there was

no inflammation on exam when I was there last Thursday, it will probably

take pred forte drops to calm this thing down. I am to call when the

office opens this morning and go in for another eye exam.

I am so miserable. Not only is the eye dripping constantly, but it has

become quite painful.

My question? Has anybody had any experience with this??

Ok, I'm done whining now. Any info is greatly appreciated!

I don't have any answers for you. Since Caroline's eye injections her eyes

do water all the time and she says that they bother her, however her doctor

says it's related to the steroid injections.

I hope that you get an answer soon and start feeling better.

Hi Cassie,

yes, plagio can cause facial asymmetry, including different eye sizes.

the asymmetry is often more visible in the mirror (a 2D image).

Torticollis can also contribute since it can cause plagio, but also

because it can pull on the underlying muscles.

If you search the messages for the past month there was just

discussion of this.

I agree! Ben was born with one whole side of his face smaller than

the other (eye, jaw, and ear). It's definitely more visible in a

mirror... even today, and he's almost 2.

Yes. It can have that appearance.

Plagiocephaly can also change the shape andvolume of the orbit.

My daughters Brachy made her eyes different sizes and asymmetrical.

She has been in the DOC band for 8 weeks and her eyes are pretty

much evened out now and you can barely tell there is asymmetry.

I think it might be related. My daughter, just being diagnosed, will

be going to pedi opthalmologist this month for what her pedi called

(possible) " lid lag. " I only notice it when she's tired, though.

hi! I am glad that you asked that question...because my daughter's right eye has been bothering me...it seems smaller than her left one...she is mainly flat in back with some flatness of the left side (but its her right one that seems smaller) and I never knew if they were related either.

facial asymmetry associated with plagio definitely can result in one

eye looking smaller than the other. facial asymmetry usually shows up

more when looking in the mirror.

Could the watering eye be a clogged tear duct? Not sure of your

My son's right eye (he has right plagio) also watered a lot when he

was a baby. He did grow out of it, but I can't remember at what age.

It does still water sometimes when he's sick, but nothing like it

did before. The last few times he's been sick, his eyes also got

really gunky, particularly his right again. I thought he had pink

eye too, but the doctor said no, it was just viral gunk and wasn't

contagious, and she appears to have been right, since it never

became a problem. Never thought to ask if it was related to the

plagio, but considering plagio could cause eye problems, I can

imagine that there could be a link, especially if it seems like

others have experienced the same thing. Very interesting.

Hello Everyone,

I'm having a problem with my right eye. When I wake in the morning and for

about an hour or two the corner of my eye is red, sight is blurry and it's just

a little painful. It clears up in an hour or two. Is this part of RA? I've

had RA for 10 years now but never had this problem before.

I'd appreciate any opinion.

Thanks,

I have vision problems anyway (w/ or w/o RA) but... I did a quick search and

found this at the Mayo Clinic

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/rheumatoid-arthritis/AN01485

Might be helpful. It is possible that you have something going on that is a

secondary feature of RA that is developing. However, the best bet is to

constant with an eye doctor to see if you have scratched your cornea or

something like that. That can also cause discomfort and blurry vision among

other things.

I'd make an appointment with an ophthalmologist, especially if you

haven't seen one recently. It might be something minor, but, to be

safe, get checked out.

You need to see an eye doctor. I have had Pappaladema (msp), episcleritis,

scleritis, and have no vision in my right eye due to a bad flare up of

episcleritis in 2001. This all started 4 weeks after having my daughter in

1982. I had a cataract removed in 1997 and have had flare ups of scleritis

every year. The eye is red, inflamed and itches and stays teary, wind or cold

weather aggravates it. I can't see anything without my very thick bifocal

glasses. Which I am glad to have. I can't judge distance so I do not drive at

night or in rainy weather conditions. I was put on flubiprofen,

prednisone, and my methotrexate and Humira were stopped during these flare ups.

It

has more painful than when I had my knee surgery 3 years ago. I can see only

a blue film from my right eye and it is sore all the time. I have to see my

eye specialist every year for treatment. I would rather have a stomach

ache more than this. Before it gets worse you should see an eye specialist who

will know more than your RA doctor how to treat it.
