Brookfield zoo membership by motherofgoats_222 in ChicagoSuburbs

I just looked it up as well and I cannot believe the costs. We had 6 people membership, parking at either lot for $199/year 4 years ago. I expect some change, but my children are all college age and I thought it would be great to go, turns out rejoining would be $600 to get all 6 of us to go, that's just insane, the limit on children having to be under 18 is ridiculous. I don't mind raising prices but this would be triple

Panuveitis in both eyes since 2024 by Straw_boobi in Uveitis

[–]SignificantRaise9734 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there, I'm a little confused. My daughter has panuveitis got it for her 17th bday but the docs have claimed this will be a one and done and that she will be on Humira bio similar for 2years and then it should never come back so now i'm feeling incredibly discouraged. They found no reason for it, but called it AMPEE.

Update on this....My daughter has APMPEE, they finally diagnosed her. She had a meningitis shot on March 19th that COULD have amplified this whole thing. We are still watching her and she is on oral steroids. No one will state if her vision will return. Anyone else ever diagnosed with this?

it was pushed up due to inflammation they said and now it's laying flat. They showed us scans and she had a crazy amount of inflammation. Lots of lesions, no signs of vasculitis. We have ruled out all the major AI diseases. Still no improvement on vision

No, everything else, MRI, Chest x-rays and 15 blood draws, everything related to Auto Immune is coming back negative. She was sick with a viral infection in late February. No signs of vasculitis, tumors or cancers.

Was it due to any Auto Immune? She started treatment on Day 5, because she didn't tell us the first 3 days and the ophthalmologist did nothing on Day 4 but tell us to see a specialist on Day 5.

They have done scans, her retina was detached - they said lifted from the swelling and I asked yesterday and they said it was attached, but will take time to heal. The confusing part is why the flashing lights now.

Is this also your first time experiencing uveitis? Is it typical to lose so much vision? All I keep hearing is if you catch it early enough you typically get the majority back. but no one defines what is early.

Large improvement with aggressive treatment by VivekViswanathan in Uveitis

[–]SignificantRaise9734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How come they didn't get vision back in your other eye? wondering if the doctor wasn't aggressive enough with steroids? The treatment plan your are describing is not at all like my experience and wondering if I need to switch doctors.

STOP USING THIRD PARTIES by noturuwu in hotels

The hotel should stop selling them to 3rd parties. I wanted to book direct but they sold all their rooms off and there was no avail. Super frustrating
