I finally have an answer...
After 7 years of recurrent iritis I finally have an answer to what is causing it. I went last week and saw Dr. Kim at Vanderbilt Eye Institute. He is 1 of 2 doctors in TN that was on the list recommended by this website. I had been seeing a regular opthamolagist who had been treating it as it flared...

Re: I think my Iritis has returned...I am freaking out...
I started seeing a psychologist about 6 weeks ago. I am on Zoloft and I have an anxiety med that I am on right now. But I am almost out and he doesn't want to keep me on it because it can become addictive. I am on it just until the Zoloft kicks in. Which I don't think it has yet. I am trying to work...

Re: I think my Iritis has returned...I am freaking out...
Thanks Mike. I am sure I am not the only one that Iritis has affected in this way. The first time it happened they put me through a bunch of tests and everything came back normal. I have never seen a rheumatologist though. I just saw my PCP who ran all the tests. Now everytime any little thing happe...

Re: I think my Iritis has returned...I am freaking out...
I got an emergency appointment with my opthamologist. It is not Iritis. Just allery related. Thank God! I am so scared of autoimmune diseases. I have had horrible health anxiety since my first bout of Iritis. I have a fear that the doctors will find something. MS and Lupus are my biggest fears.

I think my Iritis has returned...I am freaking out...
I just noticed that my left eye is red on the interior side. I don't have any pain or sensitivity to light. I have had two bouts of Iritis within the past 5 years. No known cause. I am so scared that it is back again. I have never wanted it to come back. I am been under a lot of stress the past two ...

Hi....New here...second time with Iritis in two years....
Hi, this is my second time with Iritis in two years. I had it back in May of '07 and I was hoping I would never have it again. It was one of the worst things I have ever been through. Well it's back again. A lot milder this time but none the less back. The first time I had it they put me through all...
