Christy,
You are very welcome. I wish I would have paid a little more attention to the symptoms before the damage became permanent. I only have a problem in the left eye. What is really funny, is that the very first flare I had was in the right eye, and every time after that, it was in the left. I should have known better, as AS in in my family tree, and both my Grandmother and my cousin who have/had AS were/are completely blind from the inflamation that wasn't properly treated. My advise to anyone out there, IS DON'T TAKE YOUR SYMPTOMS FOR GRANTED!!! Stay on top of it, and if it's not responding right, don't wait. I thought my vision problem was from the cataracts, and they had nothing to do with it. The damage happens pretty quickly and once it does, it's too late.
One other thing to note, since I started on Remicade in January of last year, I haven't had one incidence of Iritis where I used to experience it 3 - 5 times a year. Wonder if other experienced the same???
