Hi Everyone,
I now have a new symptom that has popped up to add to my long list of others. This actually happened to me a few months ago before I started taking Prednisone and I am now tapering off and I am wondering if this is my body telling me to go back up.
I woke up on Thursday with my right eye feeling sore and when I went to take a shower I noticed the whole right (outside) of the white part was blood red. It is hurting even behind my eye and is very sensitive to light.
What the heck is this now? It is not an eye infection because there is no yucky discharge or itching or swelling. Just pain and redness and only on one half of one of my eyes.
I don't have an eye doctor that I see. Should I do see my GP or my Rheumy? The last time it went away in a few weeks and I never thought it was related to my lupus, but now I am sure it is related since I am feeling awful again from going off the steroids.
Is there any drops they can give me even if I am on steroids right now?
Thank you again for helping me sort all this stuff out.
Andrea
