I have been dealing with my PIC for nearly 2 yrs now. I lost my right eye to PIC because i did not get into the eye doc son enough and it scared over unfortunately.. They have been treating me with Prednisone for about a yr.. It seems to do great (for my eye anyway..the side effects have been crazy for me) but when i get lower than 10mg my eye will start to flare up .. It has happened 4 times now. This time they are adding another immune suppressant  to the mix called Cellcept.. it makes me nervous to take 2 immune suppressants considering the fact they tell you it hard to fight infections (im a preschool teacher.. there are germs everywhere!)  So far all i have been told is that is can be managed..but no know "cure" yet.

best of luck to you! <3 ashlee
