Upon seeing an eye specialist who treated me for severe iritis, I was referred to a rheumatologist who diagnosed me with spondylitis. A blood test for HLA-B27 followed, which was positive. Perhaps it is related, but I do suffer from shingles when stressed and have some hair loss on my legs. It seems the immune disorder causing the arthritis affects the intestines as well, as I experience bloating frequently after eating - less since I changed my diet to Gluten Free. Homeopathic Rhus Tox seems to offer some relief.

you must visit your local gp and be immediately referred to the opthemology (eye) dept. to receive the correct treatment which usually consists of steroid drops hourly for the first few days and also dilating drops to prevent your lens sticking which creates other issues. The dilating drops make your vision super blurry but do stop the pain. The steroid drops are tapered off gradually until you will be down to one drop a day. unfortunately there is no cure only treatment which you must do properly as there are lots of complications to iritis. I have had it 4 times and although the drops are not ideal they do work eventually!

Actually, there is always iritis after cataract surgery. This is simply part of the natural healing response of the eye. Cataract surgeons grade this on a scale of "trace" to "4+." With the standard post-op drops this usually resolves completely by four to eight weeks after surgery. However, certain conditions (such as diabetes) can result in a longer course of inflammation.

Sometimes, however, the iris is damaged during cataract surgery. Iris trauma can result from conditions that affect the dilation of the pupil (such as pseudoexfoliation and use certain medications). Anyone taking Tamsulosin (aka Flomax) or drugs like it should tell their eye surgeon as these drugs are associated with a condition known as Intraoperative Floppy Iris Syndrom (IFIS) that can increase the risk of iris damage, capsular rupture, retinal detachment, etc. If the surgeon is made aware of the use of this drug before surgery, s/he can often take extra precautions to limit the risks during surgery.

Uveitis is technically Inflammation in the back of the eye. Uveal tract hence Uveitis it is different from iritis which is inflammation in the from of the eye. Usually anything ending in "itis" is some type of inflammation. I worked for a group of eye surgeons for 15 years and saw lots of uveitis cases. There are many different reasons people have uveitis and sometimes doctors will recommend blood tests to see if there is a systemic reason a patients has uveitis especially if you have it on a chronic basis.

If the doctor prescribes both, it would be wise to take/use both. For instance, I was recently diagnosed with iritis and an inflamed cornea (eye problems). My opthamologists prescribed both a steroid and an antibiotic to treat my ailments. Thus, there is nothing categorically wrong with taking both at the same time. Of course, whether using/taking both is appropriate will be vary dependent upon your individual circumstances.

If left untreated, severe iritis can lead to vision loss but it is rare for it to cause complete blindness. Prompt diagnosis and proper treatment are crucial in preventing long-term complications and preserving vision. It's important to follow your healthcare provider's recommendations and attend regular eye exams for monitoring.

Eye discharge is a whitish , sticky, crusty, substance that can sometimes make your eyes feel like they have been glued shut. It can be temporary-such as when you wake up in the morning-or persistent, in which case medical attention should be considered. Usually eye discharge is a harmless part of your body's natural defense system, but some cases are serious. Eye discharge can be present in both children and adults, and it affects males and females equally.

There are a variety of different reasons why you are getting pain in your eye. The causes of eye pain fall into two parts: Ocular pain and Obital Pain.

Ocular pain is pain on the outer structures on the surface of the eye. The most common eyes problems in this part is conjunctivitis which can be allergic, bacterial, chemical, pinkeye, or a viral inflammation.

Now on the other hand it could be Orbital pain. Orbital pain is a dull ache behind the eye. This is usually caused from a disease of the eye. Some reasons could be from migraines, glaucoma, Iritis, Sinititis, and optic neurtis.

I would recommend making an appointment with the eye doc. to make sure it isn't just something simple. I Hope this helps =]

Phosgene oxime, or CX, is an organic compound with the formula Cl2CNOH. It is a potent chemical weapon, specifically a nettle agent, usually used fior this task when in vapor form.
The compound itself is a colorless solid at standard conditions (pressure of one atm and temperature of 25 °C), but impure samples are often yellowish liquids. It has a strong, disagreeable odor and the vapor is violently irritating.

It is toxic by inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact, insolid, liquid or vapor form.


The effects of the poisoning occur almost immediately. No antidote for phosgene oxime poisoning is known. Generally, any treatment is supportive. Typical physical symptoms of CX exposure are as follows:

  • Skin: Blanching surrounded by an erythematous ring can be observed within 30 seconds of exposure. Awheal develops on exposed skin within 30 minutes. The original blanched area acquires a brown pigmentation by 24 hours. An eschar forms in the pigmented area by 1 week and sloughs after approximately 3 weeks.
  • Eyes: Eye examination typically demonstrates conjunctivitis, lacrimation, lid edema, and blepharospasm after even minute exposures. More severe exposures can result in keratitis, iritis, corneal perforation, and blindness.
  • Respiratory: Irritation of the mucous membranes may be observed on examination of the oropharynx and nose. Evidence of pulmonary edema, including rales and wheezes, may be noted on auscultation. Pulmonary thromboses are prominent features of severe CX exposure.
  • Gastrointestinal: Some animal data suggest that CX may cause hemorrhagic inflammatory changes in the GI tract.

Differential diagnosisSeveral other medical conditions can resemble RA, and usually need to be distinguished from it at the time of diagnosis:
  • Crystal induced arthritis(gout, and pseudogout) - usually involves particular joints and can be distinguished with aspiration of joint fluid if in doubt
  • Osteoarthritis - distinguished with X-rays of the affected joints and blood tests
  • Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) - distinguished by specific clinical symptoms and blood tests (antibodies against double-stranded DNA)
  • One of the several types of psoriatic arthritis resembles RA - nail changes and skin symptoms distinguish between them
  • Lyme disease causes erosive arthritis and may closely resemble RA - it may be distinguished by blood test in endemic areas
  • Reactive arthritis (previously Reiter's disease) - asymmetrically involves heel, sacroiliac joints, and large joints of the leg. It is usually associated with urethritis, conjunctivitis, iritis, painless buccal ulcers, and keratoderma blennorrhagica.
  • Ankylosing spondylitis - this involves the spine and is usually diagnosed in males, although a RA-like symmetrical small-joint polyarthritis may occur in the context of this condition.

Rarer causes that usually behave differently but may cause joint pains:

  • Sarcoidosis, amyloidosis, and Whipple's disease can also resemble RA.
  • Hemochromatosis may cause hand joint arthritis.
  • Acute rheumatic fever can be differentiated from RA by a migratory pattern of joint involvement and evidence of antecedent streptococcal infection. Bacterial arthritis (such as streptococcus) is usually asymmetric, while RA usually involves both sides of the body symmetrically.
  • Gonococcal arthritis (another bacterial arthritis) is also initially migratory and can involve tendons around the wrists and ankles.(Source Wikipedia)

Ankylsing Spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disorder. It is an arthritic condition generally affecting the spine although it may also affect large joints such as knees, jaw, ankles, and shoulders. As can also attack the rib cage, limiting chest expansion and inhibiting breathing.

It ususally affects males 17 to 22 years of age. It is also found among the female population. AS is mostly found among the population with B+ blood and a gene called hlaB27. This is found by taking a blood sample. Diagnosis of AS is a process of eliminating other conditions that are similar in appearance. AS is also called 'the great imitator' as the condition may resemble many conditions including cancer and multiple sclerosis. A patient may be diagnosed by taking x-rays and a simple blood test.

AS can also attack internal organs around the spinal region of the body and can cause secondary conditions such as hammer toe and iritis. Over time, the spine or other joints may fuse together causing what is known as 'poker spine' and the person will not be able to bend over at all. The condition can become debilitating but not often fatal. The disorder can cause other autoimmune and chronic disorders that may lead to fatalities due to kidney disease or swollen heart. Some patients have been known to die from medications used to treat the illness.

The presence of hlaB27 does not mean the person will develope AS but the gene is found in over 97% of sufferers with AS. People with AS should keep x-rays to a minimum as this has been shown to be contradictory in some people and may cause leukemia.

Vision can can be effected as a result of a number of problems associated with rheumatoid arthritis.

Scleritis, a chronic inflammation of the blood vessels in the whites of the eyes, may occur in aproximately 1 percent of people with RA. Symptoms include eye pain and redness. If it goes untreated, scleritis may become severe, leading to a deterioration of the cornea.

Rheumatoid Arthritis may lead to Keratoconjunctivitis sicca, which is dryness of the eyes caused by decreased tear production. as well as Episcleritis or scleritis, this is an inflammation of the connective tissue of the eye that gives it a red eye appearance like conjunctivitis, but different as there is no wetness or tearing.

These problems can be painful and lead to increased light sensitivity, redness, and even vision loss.

The eyes may often become dry and/or inflamed as a result of RA. This condition is known as Sjögren syndrome and its severity depends on which part of the eye is affected. this along with many other eye problems may be the result of rheumatoid arthritis and often require the attention of an eye specialist.

Non Steroidal AntiInflammatory Drugs, (NSAID's), like Naprosyn or Indocin are used to relieve pain and stiffness. In severe cases, Azulfidine, another drug to reduce inflammation, or methotrexate, an immune suppressing drug, is recommended. In cases where chronic therapy is needed, potential drug side effects must be taken into consideration. Corticosteroid drugs are effective in relieving symptoms, but are usually reserved for severe cases that do not improve when NSAID's are used. To avoid potential side effects, treatment withhttp://www.answers.com/topic/corticosteroid is usually limited to a short amount of time.

Photophobia is eye discomfort in bright light.

Alternative Names

Light sensitivity; Vision - light sensitive; Eyes - sensitive to light

Considerations

Photophobia is a fairly common symptom. For many people, photophobia is not due to any underlying disease. Severe photophobia may be associated with eye problems and cause severe eye pain even in relatively low light.

Common Causes
  • Excessive wearing of contact lenses, or wearing badly fitted contact lenses
  • Eye disease, injury, or infection (such as chalazion, episcleritis, glaucoma )
  • Burns to the eye
  • Common migraine headache
  • Meningitis
  • Acute iritis or uveitis(inflammation inside eye)
  • Corneal abrasion
  • Corneal ulcer
  • Drugs such as amphetamines, atropine, cocaine, cyclopentolate, idoxuridine, phenylephrine, scopolamine, trifluridine, tropicamide, and vidarabine
  • Eye testing in which the eyes have been dilated
Home Care

The discomfort of light sensitivity can be reduced by avoiding sunlight, closing the eyes, wearing dark glasses, or darkening the room. However, the cause for the light sensitivity should be determined, since proper treatment may cure the problem. Seek urgent medical attention if pain is moderate to severe in low-light conditions.

Call your health care provider if

Call your doctor if light sensitivity is severe. For example, if you need to wear sunglasses indoors.

Also call if the sensitivity occurs with headaches, red eye or blurred vision or does not go away in a day or two.

What to expect at your health care provider's office

The doctor will perform a physical examination, including an eye exam. You may be asked the following questions:

  • When did the light sensitivity begin?
  • Does it hurt all the time or just sometimes?
  • How bad is it?
  • Do you need to wear dark glasses or stay in dark rooms?
  • Did a doctor recently dilate your pupils?
  • Do you use contact lenses?
  • Have you used soaps, lotions, cosmetics, or other chemicals around your eyes?
  • Have you been around dust, wind, sun, pollens, or chemicals?
  • Does anything make the sensitivity better or worse?
  • Have you been injured?
  • What medicines do you take?
  • What other symptoms do you have?

Tell your doctor if you have any of these symptoms:

  • Pain in the eye
  • Headache
  • Nausea
  • Neck stiffness
  • Blurred vision
  • Sore or wound in eye
  • Redness
  • Itching
  • Swelling
  • Dizziness
  • Numbness or tingling elsewhere in the body
  • Changes in hearing

"Pink Eye" is the name we apply in America to an infection casued by the Hemophilus aegyptius bacterium that attacks the conjuctiva -- the mucous membrane that covers the eye and the inside of the eyelid. As with any infection, tissue damage can occur. And if tissue damage can occur, so can scarring. While not a common result, various degrees of blindness can indeed result. This particular infection is super-contagious, so it's critcally important you (a) treat it and (b) make certain you don't transfer it to others. This means lots and lots of thorough hand washing, not sharing pillows, etc. This one you can't fix at home. There are a few reasons for this. First, bacterial pink-eye is treated with an antibiotic cream or ointment (often Cipro-based, but others work too), which you can't get without a prescription. Another reason is, while I've described Pink Eye, allergies are sometimes diagnosed as Pink-Eye, and the treatment for them (anti-inflamatories and possibly steroids) may actually exacerbate or make worse a bacterial infection.

Uveitis is swelling and irritation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye. The uvea provides most of the blood supply to the retina.

Alternative Names

Iritis; Pars planitis; Choroiditis; Chorioretinitis; Anterior uveitis; Posterior uveitis

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

Uveitis can be caused by autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis, infection, or exposure to toxins. However, in many cases the cause is unknown.

The most common form of uveitis is anterior uveitis, which involves inflammation in the front part of the eye. It is often called iritis because it is usually only effects the iris, the colored part of the eye. The inflammation may be associated with autoimmune diseases, but most cases occur in healthy people. The disorder may affect only one eye. It is most common in young and middle-aged people.

Posterior uveitis affects the back part of the uvea, and involves primarily the choroid, a layer of blood vessels and connective tissue in the middle part of the eye. This type of uveitis is called choroiditis. If the retina is also involved it is called chorioretinitis. You may develop this condition if you have had a body-wide (systemic) infection or if you have an autoimmune disease.

Another form of uveitis is pars planitis. This inflammation affects the narrow area between the colored part of the eye (iris) and the choroid. Pars planitis usually occurs in young men and is generally not associated with any other disease. However, some evidence suggests it may be linked to Crohn's disease and possibly multiple sclerosis.

Uveitis can be associated with any of the following:

Symptoms

Uveitis can affect one or both eyes. Symptoms may develop rapidly and can include:

Signs and tests

A complete medical history and eye examination should be performed. Laboratory tests may be done to rule out infection or an autoimmune disorder.

Persons over age 25 with pars planitis should have an MRI of their brain and spine to rule out multiple sclerosis.

Treatment

Iritis is usually mild. Treatment may involve:

  • Dark glasses
  • Eye drops that dilate the pupil to relieve pain
  • Steroid eye drops or ointment

Pars planitis is often treated with steroid eye drops. Other medicines, including steroids taken by mouth, may be prescribed to help suppress the immune system.

Choroiditis treatment depends on the underlying cause. Additional specialists in infectious disease or autoimmunity may be needed for such diseases as syphilis, tuberculosis, AIDS, sarcoidosis, or Behcet's syndrome.

If the uveitis is caused by a body-wide infection, treatment may involve antibiotics and powerful anti-inflammatory medicines called corticosteroids. See autoimmune disorders for information on treating such diseases.

Expectations (prognosis)

With proper treatment, most attacks of anterior uveitis go away in a few days to weeks. However, relapses are common.

Inflammation related to posterior uveitis may last from months to years and may cause permanent vision damage, even with treatment.

ComplicationsCalling your health care provider

Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have symptoms of uveitis. Eye pain or reduced vision are urgent symptoms that require prompt medical attention.

Prevention

Treatment of an underlying disorder may help to prevent uveitis in persons with a body-wide (systemic) infection or disease.

Pinkeye, also known as conjunctivitis, can be caused by bacteria, viruses, allergens, and irritants. While fecal matter can contain bacteria that potentially cause pinkeye, it is not a common cause of the condition. Good hygiene practices can help reduce the risk of spreading infections that may lead to pinkeye.

Definition

Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) is a term used to describe a common type of arthritis in children. It is a long-term (chronic) disease resulting in joint pain and swelling.

Alternative Names

Juvenile chronic polyarthritis; JRA; Still's disease; Juvenile idiopathic arthritis

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

The cause of JRA is not known. It is thought to be an autoimmune illness. In this type of condition, the body's immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy body tissue.

JRA usually occurs before age 16.

It is divided into several categories:

  • Systemic JRA involves joint swelling or pain, fevers, and rash. It is the least common category.
  • Polyarticular JRA involves many joints. This form of JRA may turn into rheumatoid arthritis. It may involve large and small joints of the legs and arms, as well as the TMJ and cervical spine.
  • Pauciarticular JRA involves only a few joints, usually the hips, knees, or ankles.

Many other medical problems can cause symptoms similar to those of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, including:

Symptoms

Arthritis symptoms:

Body-wide JRA symptoms:

  • Fever, usually high fevers every day
  • Rash (trunk and extremities) that comes and goes with the fever
  • Swollen lymph nodes (glands)

JRA can also cause eye inflammation called uveitis. This problem can occur without any eye symptoms, or someone may have:

Signs and tests

The physical examination may show swollen, warm, and tender joints that hurt to move. The child may have a rash. Other signs include:

Blood tests may include:

Any or all of these blood tests may be normal in patients with JRA.

The doctor may need to tap a joint. This means putting a small needle into a joint that is swollen. This can help to find the cause of the arthritis. By removing fluid, the joint may feel better, too. Sometimes, the doctor will inject steroids into the joint to help decrease the swelling.

Other tests:

  • X-ray of a joint
  • X-ray of the chest
  • ECG
  • Eye exam by an ophthalmologist (should be done on a regular basis, even if there are no eye symptoms)
Treatment

When only a small number of joints are involved, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or naproxen may be enough to control symptoms.

Corticosteroids may be used for more severe flare-ups to help control symptoms.

Children who have arthritis in many joints, or who have fever, rash, and swollen glands may need other medicines. These medicines are called disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). They can decrease or prevent swelling or inflammation in the body. DMARDs include:

  • Methotrexate is often the first drug used.
  • Biologic drugs, such as such as etanercept, infliximab, and related drugs block high levels of proteins that cause inflammation.

It is important for children with JRA to stay active and keep their muscles strong. Walking, bicycling, and swimming may be good activities. Children should learn to warm up before exercising.

Support and help for children who experience sadness or anger about their arthritis is also very important.

Some children with JRA may need surgery, including joint replacement.

Expectations (prognosis)

JRA is seldom life threatening.

Children who have many joints involved, or who have a positive rheumatoid factor are more likely to have chronic pain and poor school attendance, and to be disabled.

Long periods with no symptoms are more common in those who have only a small number of joints involved. Many patients with JRA eventually go into remission with very little loss of function and deformity.

For additional information and resources, see arthritis support group.

Complications
  • Wearing away or destruction of joints (can occur in patients with more severe JRA)
  • Slow rate of growth
  • Uneven growth of an arm or leg
  • Loss of visionor decreased visionfrom chronic uveitis (this problem may be severe, even when the arthritis is not very severe)
  • Anemia
  • Swelling around the heart (pericarditis)
  • Chronic pain, poor school attendance
Calling your health care provider

Call for an appointment with your health care provider if:

  • You notice symptoms of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis
  • Symptoms get worse or do not improve with treatment
  • New symptoms develop
Prevention

There is no known prevention for JRA.
