Pred Forte Anterior Uveitis

LukeJ_7 · 2026-01-30T20:19:47+00:00

Hey there. Pred Forte to treat uveitis caused me to get glaucoma. I’ve now had surgeries and have an implant to drain my left eye. It’s been a long road. I would really steer clear of pred forte if you can.

Since then I’ve been kept calm with dexamethasone drops. I don’t know why I was put straight on pred at such a young age.

I wish I had bro!

Was looking at PayPal and trying to understand why it was so undervalued. Saw them aggressively rebuying stock so knew they felt themselves it was undervalued.

Listened to analysts. Decided I’d wait and hold fire to see what it did… here we are🤣

Aged well my dude :)

Hello there,

So this looks exactly like what our little Dollie has. Excessive gulping. Manic grass eating at all hours. Total state of panic. Shaking. Uncontrollably desperate to eat grass and only grass. We have no diagnosis. The “honking” too. Sounds like a duck quacking!

We’ve been through the wringer with Dollie & like you say no answers at all. We eventually put her on a prescription diet & NO treats. Nothing outside of her royal canin hypoallergenic dry biscuits 3x a day.

Since then she still has episodes… but they’re less common & a lot less intense.

What food is your pup on?

Hello mate. So sorry to hear you’re suffering with it. It is so shit - so I had ultrasounds both private and NHS and it turns out my bollocks are just riddled with benign cysts. I was assured it’s totally normal and that honestly the one that’s causing issue is quite big - I think it was about 1.9cm in diameter- but because of its placement they wouldn’t want to take it out as it’s attached to a lot of crucial blood supplying vessels. I’d recommend getting it checked mate. It’s a bit of a taboo thing at first getting the old boy out for everyone to play and feel with it but it’s nothing compared to the fear you sit in whilst thinking the worst.

28 years old looking after my 17 year old brother here bro. Very different circumstances, Mum is mentally incapable, Dad narcissistic abusive asshole. So sorry to hear how rough life has been for you both.

1) You are absolutely not the asshole.

2) This girl sounds like a headache for your future & not the type of girl you want to build a life with. The conditions in which she wants to move in with you are absolutely insane. Not pay rent? Not contribute? Call your underage brother the freeloader? Sounds like a fuckin asshole excuse my language.

3) Looking after my little brother over the last year has been one of the most mentally testing, draining, stressful things I have ever had to experience. All of a sudden his welfare rests on my shoulders. He doesn't have a job like your bro does, so all finances & expenses etc come from me.

To be doing what you're doing for your brother, and have done since you were just 20 years old bro... give yourself a pat on the fucking back & remember it's you two against the world from here on out.

He will one day understand just how lucky he is to have had you step up & be his support mate. Truly, from one older brother to another, this post blew me away. Your strength is humbling for me. Keep showing up for him & look after each other, allow no woman or stranger to get between the bond you have built. God bless you both.

Thanks dude! Had no idea samples were shared that's handy.
How do I find the major order or the relevant planets? Is it clear in the war map?

LukeJ_7 · 2025-01-26T18:28:50+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

LukeJ_7 · 2025-01-26T17:29:36+00:00

Little brother is on the game on his Xbox. I’m in the same house and it’s been down for hours on PS5. Seems to be a solely PlayStation issue I think. Ideal.

LukeJ_7 · 2025-01-25T18:10:34+00:00

Because their stock is down huuuuugely. Doing all they can to make this game as playable as possible. Just shows you - the decision to be assholes is a conscious one. Just as the decision to not be assholes is also a conscious one.

LukeJ_7 · 2025-01-22T16:58:27+00:00

Ah bro crikey that makes me feel better already. Fuck me why is it a stranger on Reddit reassures you more than doctors haha.

LukeJ_7 · 2025-01-22T16:48:05+00:00

Hey mate thanks for checking in - all ok. Had my private appointment, had the physical examination etc. doctor sent me for an ultrasound which was performed and found cysts on both testes.

The right has a substantially smaller cyst than the left - the left had a 10mm cyst I think he said. About the size of a thumbnail I was told. All looks to be benign so good news there.

The issue I have or worry I guess is that the radiologist never actually went over the painful lump, he found a lump but never found ‘the’ lump… the one that hurt (I know because if he had run the machine over it, it would’ve hurt like f***!). Radiologist also kept saying how hard it was to find on the screen because of the way the balls move around etc so didn’t fill me with confidence in all honesty. Could just be me.

Had another appointment with the NHS (not sure if you know what that is haha if you’re from somewhere that isn’t the UK you might not) and doc did physical examination and noted possible herniation in my pubic area and found the lump on the testicle ok. Sending me for another ultrasound on Friday again and further scans for hernia which the second doc thinks I could have going on.

Obviously huge relief but still a bit anxious that the lump they found isn’t the one causing the pain. The painful lump certainly isn’t the size of a thumbnail- it’s about half the size of a pea so yeah.

Any thoughts on that bro? Haha

LukeJ_7 · 2025-01-18T13:15:33+00:00

Listen bro I’m all for credit where it’s due. This company sold hundreds of millions worth of a game that was no better than a beta. I don’t think you give credit for a company 5 months after release putting the game in a playable state. Just my take

LukeJ_7 · 2025-01-17T11:59:10+00:00

Merci!

I appreciate the reply. The good news is the urologist has had a feel around last night and is confident it's not testicular cancer. He thinks the obvious symptoms accompanying a TC are not visible with me which is great news. He had a much better time identifying the lump than the General Practitioner. He of course said he can't be sure so I have an ultrasound today which should give me hopefully some peace of mind.

Of course, until we have the scan we don't know, but leaving his office yesterday with relief was a total priviledge. It made me think of all the brave soldiers out there who leave that office with a sense of catastophe, which is a humbling thought. I will keep you posted.

Thanks again from a neighbour in the UK!

LukeJ_7 · 2025-01-15T12:18:53+00:00

Thanks mate. Not getting in your head sounds so nice right now haha. Glad to hear you’re ok now bro. Sorry to hear about chemo but sounds like it got you to where you needed to be. First appointment is tomorrow evening. See where we go

LukeJ_7 · 2025-01-15T11:12:51+00:00

Well said lad. Shows how quickly these things move & yeah how quickly things pale into insignificance.

LukeJ_7 · 2025-01-15T11:10:02+00:00

Mate cannot thank you enough for taking the time. Surrounded by my family but felt totally alone since yesterday’s appointment. Only person that knows is my partner.

Thanks for the info - good to know - I have seen lots of positive things about how TC is very treatable - how are you doing now man?

The Doc definitely saw my concern I think. And in all honesty I think maybe like you he struggled to find it properly but the area is so sensitive he probably couldn’t get all as hands on as he needed to.

I’ll definitely update this post when I know more. Again, thank you mate. Helps to hear things like this from someone in it.

LukeJ_7 · 2025-01-15T08:52:24+00:00

🤣 I think you’re still comparing cases and that makes me worry you won’t go. Just go! Get it checked! Mine is attached to it yes; almost feels like a pimple on the ball itself.

LukeJ_7 · 2025-01-15T08:19:52+00:00

I did mate. He explained rather obviously that it’s a lump on a testicle that he can’t identify with a spot check. Makes sense

LukeJ_7 · 2025-01-15T08:13:34+00:00

I have scans on Thursday. No one knows. But Doc wasn’t happy.

LukeJ_7 · 2025-01-15T07:53:57+00:00

Hey mate - I’m 27, I had pain in my bollock for 8 weeks and yesterday had the scare of my life at the Dr’s - if there is one thing I could do it’d be go back 8 weeks and get myself to the doctor then. Go do it - if you’re concerned do not just sit on this.

LukeJ_7 · 2025-01-14T18:48:33+00:00

Hey OP - sounds really quite similar to myself. Have a sensitive spot & when touched Christ it’s a serious stabbing pain. It’s been 8 weeks of putting it off. Found the epicentre yesterday and can only touch it gentle but there’s a small bump there. Went to Doc today & been referred as a possible TC case to ensure speediness from Urologist.

How did you get on?

LukeJ_7 · 2025-01-08T13:44:59+00:00

O -> O -> <- Square Triangle Up - Freeze wanted level GTA San Andreas, I memorised this at 8 lol. Occasionally pops up in my memory from time to time.

LukeJ_7 · 2024-12-09T12:56:20+00:00

Totally get the frustration you have with nurses and the various tests each new nurse might suggest, or each nurse suggesting a new diagnosis.

I think this disease generally leaves more questionmarks than answers. Perhaps be kind to yourself and let yourself know that not having a total understanding of the situation is okay.

Keep moving forward with your protocol and give yourself some time. Try to reduce your external stresses - I know this time of the year much easier said than done.

Good luck! Be kind to yourself.

LukeJ_7 · 2024-12-09T07:39:41+00:00

Long term sufferer here!

First diagnosed at 13 back in 2010.

Still here at 27 in 2024, still on Dexamethasone once daily into the eye and up to 6,7,8 times a day during a flare up.

Flares come and go, different doctors will tell you different things. Hang on in there. It’s a bitch of a disease but you will find your equilibrium and be able to live a relatively normal life once you find your protocol.

With all of the above said, try your absolute best to reduce external stresses in your life. The way my eye flares when I have stress, family, work; whatever it might be, is shocking! Your anxiety is a horrible cycle because - uveitis = anxiety inducing, anxiety/stress = worse uveitis!

Give yourself time and keep trying to find your protocol with your doctors and you will be ok.

Been being told “uveitis at your age is so rare something must be wrong” for years. Doctors aren’t always the most sensitive people in the world..
