Has Anyone Experienced Inflammation In The Eyes?

A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Bonne Terre, MO

I developed uveitis in my left eye, but when I tell people about it, it seems that no one has heard of it. So I’m curious if anyone on here has developed it and if it’s a common symptom.

Hi Alyssa! Yes, Uveitis is common with us. People with a lower immunity system will usually contract it. I have friends that build up their immunity with VD3 and Zinc. Are you able to take these supplements? I always check with my family dr. before I add or even try something new. You have to do whats best for your well being. Good luck and Be Safe.

3 cases of uveitis in 3 years left to my diagnosis. Had years of back pain before this. Since I was diagnosed, I have been treated with remicade and had not had any additional episodes of uveitis.

Hang in there!
