undiagnosed eye problem,whats causing them?

[terrybrown]

hi

i have bee having ongoing undiagnosed health problems,i have had eye inflamtion for many months, i was on drops for dry eyes went back to eye md  as i started to get floaters and more burning and bloodshot eyes, he had a thorough look and said it wasn't ocular herpes or dry eyes he has given me steroid drops which i have to reduce the dose after 2 weeks, and another one for allergic conjunctvitis, he also mentioned my eyes have a tint of slight yellow, i just used the steroid drops and my vision seems to be getting alitle better, i explained to him the appearence of the wrinkles in the whites of my eyes, he said he knows what it is, didnt explain further and sent me away for a 6 weeks with these drops.

my eye symptoms began with my other health symptoms all in a day became very weak, dizzy and letharic with eye pain,photophobia,light sensitivity, vertigo,

could it be my neck and spine injury (had a car accident with whiplash half a year ago)as 2 weeks before the eye problems i went to my first physio session, the theraphst started stretching and clicking my back, i was never xrayed after the accident for my back.

can colon cancer cause this?

also have my liver under investigation as its given abnormal results for a few years, might explain the yellow tint in the eye, so can liver cause these symptoms?

thanks

hi

i am on steroids and they have helped me considerably, on the 2nd day and i can move my eyes without pain, and they are not burning much, i believe there is less redness and bloodshot viens are lessened, i am on maxidex dexamethasone 0.1% hypromellose 0.5% drops and olopatadine, both for 4 weeks, this eye issue is part of my other symptoms, what could it possibly causing it, as i am planning to go private soon to get investigation of my problem.

i have a history of, ibs,chronic diahorrea,also suffering form a deodenum ulcer many digestive symptoms, which i am getting checked out properly soon, i was tested positive for h.pyroli today, also suffering from, fatty inflamed liver. (liver shows elivated ALT other enzymes are fine,neg for hep viruses, thyroid , iron, diabetes and autoimmune checked).

my question is simply, i am going to get it investigated to get myself treated,
where can i start?

as its been nearly a year i am still ill and weak.
whats the best tests you would recommend, its somthing thats related to my eye inflamation.

thank you

             Hi,  Consider having your thyroid checked. I had all of those symptoms
          except the yellow eye tint with Grave's Disease.
