Stay strong, mig. You such a pillar of strength! I'll go 'duke it out' with the Iritis Monsters and we'll see how fast the iritis will 'smarten up'. lol Seriously keep your stress level down cause stress and iritis do not mix well. Come on, everyone! Group HUG here.......Love, Angie

ah, just like you to think of all of us when you're in pain  happy to report that the tooth pain is so much better. and no infection that they can see, so yay! a heating pad to the face last night seemed to be the thing to start to turn it around. that or time. either way, happy about it. but the thing about the eyes isn't just the pain, but the danger to them. we only got one pair to last us a lifetime. so glad you took care of it so quickly. yeh, stress can do a lot of nasty things. hoping life is a bit less stressful ahead.

Ah, I was trusting you to show up here Alan. Hi you! Nah, I am not suffering much - I am tuff! Stressed but tuff.  lol I always think it is useful when others on Remicade or a biologics report these things. It gives us a real life idea of the benefits/effectiveness/and risks. Oy, down with who???!!! Clot x

Thanks for your well wishes Michelle! It is not fun but very easy to count my blessings. Nothing like the serious time you've been having to endure, my goodness.
Thanks so much and healing hugs back for you!!

Nice to have you in my corner, ready to duke it out with the  monster Angie! I appreciate the sentiment. I am not feeling quite my usual pillar of strength-ed-ness. More one of stress-out-ed-ness. Too much work and too little play time lately. Ah well, I am going to have to get some balance back. The eyes know!! Love to you too!

Hey Sue,.. well I was thinking of you because I know how painful a tooth infection can be and was really hoping that wasn't it. Glad they couldn't find an infection. I had one from a tiny hairline fracture that was a nightmare of pain... so I was a bit worried you might be dealing with something similar. Pain in/near the head I always think is the worst... it's so hard to ignore. Really happy to hear that the pain has calmed down and that heat has helped. Hopefully that means they are right and there is no hidden infection. Yep, stress... like being up way too late working, when I really need to be sleeping! lol cripes... I keep forgetting to include the dude -->

Argh! It had been so long since you had to deal with this crap! Sorry to hear it, and hope it heals quickly.

Yes, argh! I know that you know this 'joy' only too well, Brad. Hope it has been leaving you alone lately?! Drops appear to be working, so with luck this will pass more quickly than past episodes. Plus I have remicade soon so that should properly stomp on it. Thanks Brad!!
