I read the comments about the link malfunctioning. I'd like to post it on my Facebook page ... we'll see. Plus, posting a link to that article is cool, as you're credited for it, right? I used to know all this sort of stuff, but as I mentioned, brain-no-worky-well-no-more ...

Good article, Mary. I have been asked to write a similar essay, regarding vision loss and the ability to dream (not just dreaming while asleep, but, more specifically, the ability to dream about our futures). I'm glad you have published this ... I discovered rather quickly how very little is on the ...

sympathize with you, allison. i have had pain and discomfort in right eye constantly for years, no one can tell me why, i see my specialist every two months. went bilateral this year, left eye feels ok when not flaring, so know how others feel, ok, when not flaring. must b e so much damage and drops...

Hello, Frustrated ... I've had this for five years as well, and it has been complete and utter hell. Anyway, I live in Montana and travel to Salt Lake City to see Dr. Albert Vitale at the Moran Eye Center. He is great. It seems you need more than just a recommendation for eye doctors, though ... I m...

Hi Mike and Everyone Else 8) Without internet for a while ... doing the coffee shop thing. Have a question ... I know, Mike, you have written extensively about the quality and effectiveness of PredForte brand drops over generic steroid drops. Does the same apply for drops for high eye pressure, Alph...

Hi, Carol. I am really sorry to hear of your discomfort and emotional angst. I truly empathize. It is a wonderful thing to have this support group. It isn't as nice as not ever having GOTTEN eye disease would be, of course, but it is so helpful to communicate with people who know what you are going ...

Thanks, Mike! I do need to take those vitamins ... I HAVE them, and am terrible about remembering to take them. :roll: But I assure you, I remember to take the blasted eyedrops. Sure hope the mtx works. 8) It was sunny here today (which I don't like, haha), but heard it was rainy in your area (which...

(Hi, Mike! I hope you don't mind if I copy a question here I posted over yonder?) Hi, me again, freaking on psych meds. I quit Lamictal back in 2004 after I got uveitis and saw that listed in the side effects. Have tried many things to no avail ... just using Effexor the last three years, which now ...

Wow, I'd like to try this. PredForte has messed up my eyes, the amount I've had to use over the 4-1/2 years. Spendy ... no problem if I still had my good pharmacy deal, but no can do right now. I'll be following this, though!

Hi, Mike! Sorry ... I did explain very well. The posterior synechaie is in the right eye, and developed over time. I got iritis in the right eye in 2004. It stuck a little a with my second flare, then I had numerous flares and it was just a sliver since 2006 ... it finally went all the way in April ...

This is weird ... I can't find my post in General Discussion, but when I searched myself it showed up ... Is it posted? User error, for sure ... need to get the hang of the new site

... after four plus years being in the right only. Right eye has 360 degrees posterior synechaie, cataract, holes lasered in the iris to hopefully control pressure. I do NOT want the left eye to go the same route. I have a tentative appt. with Dr. Vitale in Salt Lake City Feb. 2nd ... he hasn't rece...

Oops ... Dolobid, not Doboloid ... it's obvious I don't know what it is.

Dr. Foster took you off Celebrex after only four days because of the stomach problems? Wow ... I suffered them on Celebrex for almost two years before quitting. I like Dr. Foster's philosophy of zero tolerance for side effects. I haven't tried Doboloid ... anxious to hear how it works for you. Anoth...

Thanks, Mary! I have started taking fish oil ... better late than never. Pill form ... tried the liquid, UGH!

Dr. Vitale is in Salt Lake City, Utah ... I've seen him twice. But my doc in Bozeman conferred with him.

I love protein, too! Oooh, craving a big cheeseburger now!
