Re: Pediatric uveitis

It's interesting how different factors trigger arthritis to occur at different ages.

It's so interesting that you had problems with gluten even though neither of you had Celiac disease. I'm growing more and more convinced that gluten causes a whole slew of health problems.

Hi Mike,

Thank you for your explanation. It was very helpful. I was recently diagnosed, so I'm still trying to figure out what my options are.

Re: Avastin injections

Have you ever tried these Avastin injections? My doctor hasn't mentioned this treatment to me yet, I wonder if he's familiar with it. Is it covered by low cost health insurance? I want to wait and see if there's anyone I can talk to about it before trying a new treatment.
