Guest guest Posted August 13, 2001 Report Share Posted August 13, 2001 I went to my opthamologist today for a routine follow up after two months of no eye flares. His only comment was that the Uveitis specialist is a very religious man and perhaps(?) that is what has caused my previously almost constant eye flares to go away. This afternoon I am going back to the new rheumatoligist (sp?) that I saw a month or so ago after which she ordered alot of blood work (9 vials) sinus x ray,chest x ray, ekg, echocardiogram . Now we shall see what is going to be suggested. All of this feels foolish since I have felt so good the last 2 1/2 months! The uveitis specialist wanted to put me on Dapsone and Methotrexate, but why should I go on it until I am sick again which will hopefully be never again.
