Extremely high eye pressure while sleeping.
Hi, I have been diagnosed with glaucoma for about 12 years now and I also have uveitis since I was 2 years old. The last 4/5 years the main focus has been managing glaucoma as my uveitis is in remission. Recently I managed to get self monitoring eye pressure machine from Icare so I can keep track of

Not posted for a while, hope everyone is managing their lupus symptoms as best they can. I did think that using 50spf sun screen and taking hydroxychloroquine would keep my skin lupus at bay. However, I'm beginning to realise it is not just the sun and artificial light that my skin is sensitive to.

Coffee-drinker?
I've had glaucoma since 1988, many ops and drops. Have noticed that my eyes get very misty from time to time, which is a pain when you are having tests to get your driving licence back etc. Thought, blood sugar? That's all I need... Nope. Turns out it's COFFEE that's affecting me! No coffee, no

Diabetic Macular Ischemia
hi all just wondering if anyone has had ischemia in their good eye it looks like that is what I have had for a while but now it’s much worse and just wondered if anyone has been told they had it in both eyes and therefore the eye injections are not working. I can’t have steroids as I am a steroid responder

I finally got an appointment today with the rheumatologist-May 28th. In the meantime, I would like to get off the prednisone, but not sure how to do it. My primary Dr told me to take 10 mg, but I was having some pain, mostly shoulder and upper arms, so I increased it to 12.5 for the past week. I’m gaining
