UVEITIS / Vision loss

Posted by Sr on July 23, 2001 at 12:50:27:

My 17 year old Niece has been diagnosed with "Uveitis" in one of her eyes. Her vision is cloudy and blurry. As usual, her Dr. has no idea why this condition exists and basic lab tests show nothing. She has been prescribed some type of anti inflamatory drops, to be used every 2 hours, for about 3 months or more... The next course of action would be to needle inject her eye with anti inflmatory drug...

Any information on this eye disorder would be greatly appreciated.. Thank you

Sr

Hi, Sr.

Have your local medical library find you a copy of an Ophthalmological Pathology book and look it up. Let us know what you learn. This is complicated.

MY suggestion would be to do very serious wellness and let the bodymind's capacity for healing itself do it's stuff.

Thank you Walt for your input.

My own personal opinion on this condition is it may be allergy related / food and environmental....

Basically,the medical community is calling it predominately an Auto Immune disorder... Of course alleries to anything on a chronic level can lower immunity and perhaps even cause some auto immune disorders.

After a short internet search, it appears that lymes disease can be a possiblity.. In my own opinion,it / Uveitis, a.k.a. / Pars Planitis, may additionally be caused by other types of tick born diseases... I remember reading an article on tick born diseases about 4 years ago and Lymes is just one of several other types of tick born diseases that the CDC is aware of and there may be other tick born diseases that no one is currently aware of ...

I was just hoping you had come across a few cases of this eye condition and had successfully treated it in some way, other than the standard invasive protocols, which only serve to slow the disease at best and in some cases, worsen it into total blindness

Under any circumstances, I am glad your site is still up and going strong and i hope you are doing well

All my best to you and your family Walt.

SR

Thanks, SR.

Congratulations on your research. Nothing like a problem to stimulate intellectual curiosity!

Have you looked at the autoimmune archives?

Let us know how you do.
