Guest guest Posted August 14, 2001 Report Share Posted August 14, 2001 Great News from my doctors ! After seeing both the rheumy and opthamologist yesterday --they both had great news. I do not need to see the eye doc for six months unless I have another eye flare ( which used to be constant) and then if I do, he will try to jolt it out of my system by using the dilating drops that the Uveitis specialist used. The rheumy after reviewing all of the tests ( many ) she said although it is apparent that I do have RP and have had it for many years- it appears that no significant damage has been done to my organs and bodily functions and I do not need to see her or go on any new meds ( methotrexate and dapsone were being considered ) unless the flares begin again like they used to. It appears I am doctor free ! Do you hear that ? Free Free Free !!! I sure hope that this new good health continues--- Here is hoping that some others in the group get similar news.
