Anybody ever had eye inflammation of any kind while having a flare of IBD?
I have Uevitis, which is an inflammation of the iris. It is very painful, red, swollen, watery, blurred vision (REALLY bad vision) and sensative to light.
Fortunately I finally got on some steroid drops and that gets rid of the pain but it takes up to 6 weeks for it to go away. However, at the same time I am also having what I suspect is a flare (of Crohn's or Colitis I am not sure, I have actually never had a flare before). Diarrhea 3x a day, lots of urgency and discomfort.
I have only been tested once for IBD and it was with the Prometheus test which came positive for Crohn's. But the doctor said it could one day be Crohn's and another Colitis. I had a colonoscopy which had a little inflammation but hardly any...
So maybe I am experiencing my first flare up of whatever IBD I have? Who knows. Share your eye experiences!
