hello,i have been experiencing pain behind left eye on and off for a while. i believe it is associated with autoiimune disease. it comes with flares and improves somewhat with mobic.
i have been diagnosied relapsing polychondritis. my left eye-ear is more symptomactic. ( left eart snhl)
this morning i awoke with fairly sharp eye pain, left . and my pupil was larger than rt, and fixed, as far as i could see.i could see my right pupil change., left seemed fixed and painful. i was concerened but went back to bed. it was better when i awoke 3 hours later, but still painful. (squeezing type pain)
had seizure 3 yrs.ago, dx toxic enchaphilits, by er neuro, because of mix of low dose naltrexone (autoimmune) and ambien (12.5 cr) my home neruo thought maybe TIA, and another neuro thought hasmimotos encehlalitis. i discontinued the ldn.
anyway, my mom has temporal arteritis, ( dx lsate and shortly after permanet blindess in one eye) my ent said i would likely too. my sed rate is normal, at last check 6 months ago. my face and eyes are very puffy at night, too. i believe my cocnern about this is well placed, but not sure to bother doc. i know rp is a vascil;itide and am concerned about arteritis. rhuem has ordered ct scan orbit, which i will do as soon as i can get bloods done, for contrast. am i ok to wait? to told my rhuem that one pupil larger than other but forgot to mention fixed, non reactive ( my assessemt, forgive me). am pretty symptonatic now with flare.taking plaquenil and dr. adding imuran most likely next. i am away for the month. probably leaving something out. also rt. sided facial tremor, essential i think, and PN. 3 years prior high interocular pressure, but maybe from pred forte.thanks in advice for advice & time.
