My Iritis flared on Humira and MTX

Hurts like the dickens. I am using drops too. Wondering if it is because I stopped taking prednisone a week agao? Seems weird that with all the meds I am on, I am still getting these flares. I am scared. I do not want to lose my eye.

I worry about my eyes as well. Frequently a symptom that a person takes steroids for will have some problems with that symptom at the end of the dosage or after for a few days. Tell your doctor to be sure.

I called her today and she basically said keep on the Humira and see what happens in the next few doses... thank you for your reply *hugs*
