Meg Rice,
Welcome to the group!
I'm sorry you have ulcerative colitis and now uveitis. they are directly related and uveitis can be very difficult to control. often Remicade or Humira are prescribed to control both conditions. the sooner you get on one of these meds, the better the long term outcome. Methotrexate or Cellcept are also employed along with the biological response Modifying drugs.

where do you live? I can suggest an Ocular immunologist for you to get a consultaton.

wishing you the very best,
Mike
