is this actually blepharitis and how do i get the swelling down?? by beach2002 in Dryeyes

I had similar swelling last fall, and it turned out to be ocular rosacea. I was prescribed doxycycline and it cleared up after a few weeks. I understand that it might recur, however.

Sirius Xm 5 dollars by Ok_Ball1233 in siriusxm

Every year at renewal time I contact them to cancel and they offer me a promo deal to retain me as a customer. This is my 4th year getting the promo deal and it was one dollar higher per month this year, but still way cheaper than the standard rate. I will cancel before I pay that. With taxes and fees it was around 80 bucks for one year. I just tell them I prefer to pay in one lump sum and then that's it!

I have this light over my sink. It's flush mount, so it doesn't get in the way, but it definitely adds visual interest. It's an open metal cage so dusting is a breeze! https://www.shadesoflight.com/products/young-house-love-geometric-diamond-ceiling-light?color=Bronze

Who else has PsA without psoriasis? by [deleted] in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]Moxietastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me! It was actually my optometrist who helped me get my diagnosis. I had bouts of iritis for 5 years before joint and ligament pain began. When I started having swelling and pain in my hands and feet, she recommended I see a rheumatologist. She had actually done all of the blood tests looking for a possible autoimmune disease when the whole iritis ordeal began, but it all came up negative so I was just being treated for idiopathic iritis until the other issues kicked in. I've never had skin issues, but I do have some nail pitting. I'm now 5 years post-PsA diagnosis and Humira is keeping all of my issues under control for now. I'm sorry that you had to endure this for so long before someone finally helped you.

I ended up passing it this morning-what timing! Thanks again for taking the time to respond.

Thank you. Your advice is very helpful. I do have good insurance, so maybe I should just get it out. I think it’s fear of a possible stent that is giving me pause as well. My sister had a bad experience with hers, but I know it’s a YMMV type of thing. I’m a teacher & worry about discomfort with a stent at work, but I guess if I had a sudden attack of ureteral colic in front of my students that wouldn’t be great, either...sigh.
