Consider seeing an ophthalmologist for the inflammation. I had similar symptoms and some additional ones. I too was admitted to the hospital as a result of upper, outer vision loss. Multiple tests were done with no diagnosis. Stared on 40 mg of Prednisone. I was seen at Duke Eye Center who promptly sent me to the ER with suspected Giant Cell Arteritis (not arthritis). I was evaluated and an appointment was made to see ophthalmology in the office. I ultimately had a temporal artery biopsy which was positive for GCA, an autoimmune disease. This is considered an emergency in Opthalmology. I am currently being seen by a rheumatologist who manages my care. Every physician I have seen has instructed me to immediately go to an ER as
to avoid further vision loss. This is not to frighten you but to consider a diagnosis that isn't often considered. I hope you find your answer. Be well.
