Uveitis
I have had a few episodes of uveitis over the past few years. Dx with PsA about three years ago after an episode of uveitis and joint pain/swelling. Last November I had a nasty episode of uveitis and waited a little too long to go to the doctor. Ocular pressures were in the upper 40s, very painful eyes, couldn’t stand light. After a
A month and a half of treatments, the condition was under control. About a week ago, I kept seeing movement in my peripheral vision but when I looked, there was nothing there. I soon developed floaters in both my peripheral and front vision. The floater in my front vision (left eye) looks like a black version of the Milky Way galaxy. My left eye now has so many floaters in my front and peripheral vision. Anyone else going thru this?
Hi
. Floaters are a common symptom of uveitis, but I would get it checked out anyway. They can also be a symptom of dangerously high blood pressure and other health conditions. I hope your uveitis remains under control and that you get some relief from the floaters. I am sure they must be both concerning and highly annoying. Thinking of you and wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Member) thank you for the feedback! Saw the doctor today and it looks like I have a torn retina in addition to the floaters. I’ll be seeing a specialist on Thursday to have my retina examined. Oh, wow! I am glad you saw the doctor before it fully detached,
. The doctor warned you not to jostle your head, right? If you need surgery, know that it is generally very successful. Keep us posted. I'd like to know how you are doing. Warmly, Lori (Team Member)
That sounds painful and scary. I'm glad you were able to see your doctor and get a diagnosis so quickly! I hope you have a fast and full recovery, best wishes! -Aron (Team Member)
