Hello Mig,
Thank you for posting! On my first visit I started the pred forte 1 every hour and atropine 2 X a day. I was back in dr office 2 days later for a check up and it was worse so I was started on oral steroids. That was a Thurs so I did not return till the next Mon. It was looking alot better so they cut back the drop to 4 X a day. By Wed I was right back to square 1 so they gave me the injection. ( My last flare was 5 years ago when I was 21.)
I told the dr about having to get the shot last time to get a responce so I think they decided that would be best.They said come back in a week but I only made it about 5 days and I was red in the eye but no pain. This past Friday I went in for a checkup and My dr said it looked really bad and the back of my eye was real swollen and I was developing a pupillary membrane which made my vision go to 20/200. Need less to say he gave me another injection and started me back on oral again along with azulfadine.
Today I was back at the dr and they say it looks quieter. I still have swelling behind the cornea and +2 cells but moving in the right direction.
I have never been put on the night time eye ointment. Does that help you?
I think they are trying to take off the pred forte to quickly when it starts to look better.
I recomended maybe going on 1 mg oral to keep it in my system just to be sure.
Thank You for all your help. It is very appreciated! And thank you to all others that have also posted I will be keeping in touch!
Take Care!!!!
Christy
