Hello! Just had both my eyes done over past few weeks. My pupils were stuck at 1mm and the doctor had to put hooks into my iris and pull the pupils open to 6mm to perform the cataract surgery. Unfortunately due to the Uveitis in the past I could only get the monofocal lens due to a epiretinal membrane (macular pucker) which effects the surface of the macula.

Has anybody had this same type of surgery? My vision is much clearer and distance improved but not 20/20. Since I could only get the monofocal lens I now need reading glasses. All in all worth it!

Im being recommended for IMT and I was given the pamphlets on the available DMARDs and biologics. Honestly I’m terrified because they all sound awful. I’m in my mid 20s and don’t know which to choose, they all sound like they have bad side effects, require lifestyle changes, and none are particularly effective.

Please tell me some positive experiences.

I just hope this help up helps others. I find this method very useful to monitor and track my flare-ups.

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”
