Hi
So I have iritis for the 3rd time.
Twice in my left eye and then episcleritis. Now it's in my right eye. This all started about 10 months ago.
I also have fatigue, aches in my finger joints and left big toe.
Blood tests have shown I'm HLAB27+ve and ANA+ve.
I am now waiting for a rheumatology appointment to come through.
I had a bit of a melt down today due to not being able to sleep and over thinking alot! This has been diagnosed as anxiety. I have had some stress at work and family. I've been signed off work and prescribed sleeping tablets.
I'm a married mum of 3, nanna of 2 and a full time health visitor (public health community nurse) living in the UK.
