| I have been dealing with iritis for about the last 7 months. After seeing my primary doctor, then an optometrist, and then an ophthalmologist. About mid-August the ophthalmologist prescribed oral steroids, a wonderful but equally nasty drug, and afterwards he noted that there was still some residual inflammation in my left eye but also a little in the right eye. So he referred me to another expert, a Uveitis specialist, and said due to the persistent iritis that they might recommend Methotrexate. Not really knowing what this was, I started doing a little research on my own. It is a cancer treatment drug and sometimes it is used in smaller doses over several years to treat eye problems like mine. The acknowledges side effects include possible lymphoma, lupus, MS, etc. You know that by now, I was getting a little upset and did not want to do this. Maybe it was better to go blind than to deal with the treatments.... Taking matters into my own hand and doing a lot of research led to many potential paths. I went to Ms. Yueling Li at Acupuncture Wellness Center in Lynchburg and she helped me more than any of the other experts spending hours of her time doing parallel research on this, treating me with acupuncture, acupressure, and Chinese Herbal Medicine. After seeing her for about five or six times, taking her herbs, some special vitamins for the eyes, a little flax seed oil (high omega 3 fat), bilberry, practicing a little Tai chi, lots of green smoothies and fresh soups with the vita mixer.. The Uveitis specialist examined me for three hours last Friday and said my right eye was fine and aside from a lot of scare tissue, that my left eye was clear of any inflammation. He recommended that I start a gradual tapering off of the steroid drops which I had already cut in half over what the pervious doctor prescribed. Pretty unbelievable!! James |
