Waiting on more test results

Posted by hello2330 @hello2330, 8 hours ago

I am hla-b27 negative. Have negative lupus, AS, and RA tests. Since May I’ve had uveitis in my right eye. A terrible flare began earlier in the year that triggered it. The rheumatologist suspects Sjogrens and has put in a request to have me approved for humira once a week. I do not have any of the dryness symptoms. Has anyone had a similar experience? Will the humira help and how long before relief?

Hi, have you ever been treated with doxycycline or psoralens (furocoumarins), either recently or in the past? Have you also been exposed to naturally occurring furocoumarins found in plants, such as giant hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum)?
