Hello,
My daughter is doing well with her Uveitis. She has been receiving Remicade infusions for over 8 years which has kept her inflammation down to 0-1 cell per eye. She has her infusions every 8 Weeks and does have to take Methotrexate monthly in the pill form. I feel blessed that we had such great Ophthalmologists at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo. Sadly I think she may have this disease the rest of her life but at least we found the medication that is keeping it under control.

Welcome back, @uvea10. I really appreciate your sharing with @elizebeth who is very concerned about her son (understandably).

How accepting is your daughter of her condition and taking medication long term? What are her hopes and dreams as she embarks on young adulthood?
