Iritis and related symptoms

[I_Wish_I_Were_Rollin_In_$]

I have had Iritis for about 5 years now. My related symptoms are 1. Prior/During flare ups, my hands (palms) peel for about a month. Strange isn't it? 2. Sciatic back pain begins. The pain is uncontrollable, and then disappears. Strange isn't it? It usually ends as the Iritis is clearing up. I am not sure if these links are valid, or misleading. However, the anciliatory symptoms came into existance around the same time as the Iritis, so I can only assume they somehow relate to the same underlying auto-immunity. Is this thinking correct?

Very possible. Psoriatic arthritis is linked to the HLA B27 haplotype as is Ankylosing spondylitis. Both present with iritis/anterior uveitis.

Where do you live? perhaps it is time to see an EXPERT in the diagnosis and treatment of your uveitis AND your related conditions.

wish you the best,
