Responses to Owen's Eye Problems and PSC

[Guest guest]

Thank you all so much for your thoughts and experiences! Your kind words and helpful attitudes just warm my heart. I can't tell you enough how grateful I am to have you here. Thank you Thank you Thank you!

Arne and , I read the articles you sent and will bring them to Dr. Flamm's. Owen had a colonoscopy in May and the GI doc was surprised to find no evidence of U/C at this time. She did biopsies and said that he is showing no changes, even on the cellular level. I guess I should consider ourselves lucky on this one point, and know that it could change in the future. The Vit A deficiency aspect is interesting. I have to mention that to Flamm. Also, I am going to buy Owen some LiquiTears... it certainly sounds like it can't hurt to keep his eyes from drying out.

You guys are a wealth of information. Thank you! See what's free at AOL.com.

Hi,

I just saw this posting and I can relate to the dry eye problem. I

hadn't seen the prior posting relating to this one, if there was

one, so I don't know if I missed anything. I've had dry eyes for

about 4 years now and just have to run to the rest room all the time

and splash cold water on my eyes to refresh them. Eye docs have said

that it could be allergies, but it's all year round, so I disagree

with them. Could that be related to PSC?

New to the Group " ... There are articles about eye problems and PSC, and

also how other members are coping with dry eyes. There's alot of

possibilities to consider. One member is using Restasis drops, one is

using LiquiTears, one has stopped wearing contacts. I hope that you

find a helpful solution too.
