Iritis and twitching
Posted: Thu Aug 16, 2012 8:40 pm
Hii everyone,
I have had anterior uveitis of the idiopathic kind in my right eye since January of this year. I have had four flares until June. I went to Boston to meet Dr. Foster in June.
After my doctor discussed with him, I have been on Naproxen(NSAID) twice daily and pred-forte tapering. I have had no flares since I have started on this flow i.e since June beginning.
Right now I have tapered from 4 times a day to "once in two days" in 2 months. The eye was found "quiet" last week for the routine check.
I have a suggestion and a question,
Suggestion -
For those who have had the iritis of my kind, should consult Dr. Foster, its worth it. I was in vicious circle of anxiety/stress and flares for the first 6 months this year since I had my first attack.
But it seems to get better since the NSAID/tapering flow. I mean one cannot be sure but certainly there has been no pain and no flares.
Question -
I have recently been observing a lot of eye twitch in my right eye(which had iritis). Sometimes it drives me insane. Can it be caused due to pred-forte or iritis ? or can it be because I strain.
There is no drooping and the eye does not twitch in the morning when I wake up.
Thanks !
