eyes sensitive

Hi all,
Hope  everyone is doing well.

Its been some time since I was in touch,, have an apt with my dr. to talk about new drugs for retreat next week.  In the last few months I have had tremendous sensitivity to light,, wondering if anyone else had this post tx.  My tx ended in Nov, so was thinking it could be something else.  Has anyone had this residual effect from the drugs?

Sorry I don't have any information except that my eyes were very sensitive to light while on tx, but not so much now 1 1/2 years after. At least I can bump you to the top. Perhaps someone else has information to help.

Hi there!

Of course I have not idea if this might apply, but it’s worth asking your doctor about:

I seem to recall a few people over the years that thought they’d developed sjogren’s as a result of IFN treatment. Read through the article in wiki, and see if any of this sounds remotely like what you're dealing with. Good to hear from you again, and good luck--

Bill
