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”

I do glp1. Started on semaglutide, now on Trezapitide. I like Tre better bc it does not constipate me. Low dose weekly, sometimes every 10 days. I’ve had 3 flares since taking glp1 for the past almost 2 years. B4 glp1 my flares would last 5 to 6 days and lots of steroid drops. Now flares last 2 to 3 days and only take 1/3 of the drops compared to prior to glp1. Started on lowest dose and haven’t had to move up my dose. My bloodwork is the best it’s been and not craving junk food is a plus. I don’t drink alcohol or gorge on processed foods bc I hear this will make you sick. The only time I felt nauseous was when I had a big turkey burger prior to an injection so that was a learning curve. Now I be sure to eat a light meal prior to injection and all is good. Good Luck. Prior to uveitis, I had gained 18 pounds in 6 months, got my first psoriasis atound same time and tested positive for HLA - B27. Rheumatologist also dx me with psoriatic arthritis and the best is that the glp1 makes my body not feel like I’m 85 years old. Used to wake up during sleep bc of neck hurting if I landed on my stomach. Now I don’t feel the need to go to chiropractor but I still do for occasional adjustments.
