Nervous in North Carolina

Post by Farmgirlnc »

Hello, I am new to this site, and here, obviously, because I have been diagnosed with Iritis. I had never even heard of it and thought the doctor was making some sort of joke.... you know... You have Iritis... Eye-ritis... wink wink....
But now I know that it is far from being a joke and I am facing a long road before my eyes are better. If they get better. I hope to get some answers and that is why I joined. I am generally angry about this but I will share about that under the appropriate forum topic.
Thanks for being here.

B,
Welcome to the group! I was out of Town so couldn't respond to your post.

I hope your eyes get better quickly now that you are under the care of an opthalmologist, should your eyes having recurrent inflammation or if this remains chronic, I suggest you get an appointment with DR Glenn Jaffe at the University of NC.
his contact information can be found at http://www.uveitis.org in the PATIENT information section of the site on the USA Specialist list.

I'm here to help if I can.

wishing you the very best,
mike
