Mis-diagnosis

Hi my name is Simon Turner. I live in Norfolk England.
It's good to see I am not alone in my Iritis
I had a burst blood vessel in my right eye then been treated with 6 weeks of 3
different antibiotics for conjunctivitis. It didn't go. Not surprising as it was Iritis
My Iritis is associated with colitis another auto immune disease. Does it feel good having
an immune system that is too good? No. But both are mild at the moment so I consider myself lucky.
I will not be beaten by this. I have had to develop this attitude for colitis. Is there a psychosomatic
element to Iritis?
My eyesight is (very) slowly deteriorating in my (affected) right eye, I wonder if anyone could
suggest what that may be as it was my dominant eye before. It is not, the consultant says, glaucoma.
Is this par for the course? No-one in the medical profession seems surprised but you need
thumb screws to get any answers. I'm fresh out.
