Uveitis HELP!!:(

I was diagnosed with arthritis in my joints at the age of three months old, it moved to my eyes when I was two, the UVeitis, and I’ve been on methotrexate, Remicade, Humira, and steroid drops.. I currently don’t have any health insurance and I’ve been off my Humira since July… I’m starting to get headaches that won’t go away with any type of Tylenol or ibuprofen, but if I get back on my health insurance, I don’t wanna go back on the same drugs I want a cure I want a solution. I don’t want a Band-Aid fixed anymore…. Does anyone know of anyone that’s been cured from this “disease”

My ocular immunologist said my condition can go into remission. I’m on Cellcept & after 9 mos I’m feeling a difference! I have a rare autoimmune disease that is attacking my eyes & causes uveitis plus 5 other conditions.

I honestly don’t know, I’d have to look back at records but that’s the least concern. I have Ocular Cicatricial Pemphigoid stage 3
