Thank you to all that have replied. I have gotten a bit behind in responses but please know I appreciate all the feedback and support. As an update, I have an appointment with a rheumatologist at the end of February but have asked to be put on a cancellation list in the hopes of getting in sooner. I just returned from the eye doctor. I have been prescribed steroid drops for inflammation in my right eye. When asked what the likely cause was, he said maybe allergies? I asked if it could be caused by an autoimmune condition and he said certainly but he wasn’t going to speculate on that as it’s not his field. I am seeing my primary care physician on Friday and plan to ask for a dermatologist referral, but in the mean time…the mystery continues…

@mas0415 Good for you, getting these appointments! Getting out there and advocating for your own health can be tricky, frustrating, and nerve-wracking. But it makes us feel good to make forward progress.

I hope to read soon that you got on a cancellation list and appointment is soon, along with a referral to the dermatologist. You, go!
