I have been wondering how you were getting along since I never seemed to see you here. Did you try Western medicine for your eye problem yet? Perhaps you did, just that I missed your posts on it .... Wishing you a speedy recovery. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/health-update-2#post-757649 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 21:26:41 +0000 Anonymous 757649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sending you lots of love and healing thoughts, Kirti.

I have been thinking of you! I'm sorry to hear the doctors weren't able to offer you a 100% cure yet, but I think it's a good plan to use both Western and Ayurvedig medicine to continue treating the problem. I am sending good vibes and hope that it will continue to improve. And I fully support a spot of healing retail therapy;-)</p> <p>Keep us posted on your new purchases? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/health-update-2#post-757336 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 16:42:33 +0000 catgirl 757336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kirti, sweetie! Sending hugs. My family did both Western and Ayurvedic medicine when things went wrong - one or other usually worked, so I'm keeping fingers crossed for you and sending hugs. Please do post even if you just want to chat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/health-update-2#post-757272 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 15:52:43 +0000 Anonymous 757272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am glad to see you back too!

I am glad you're back, and I hope your meds do the trick for your eye issues!</p> <p>XXX OOO </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/health-update-2#post-757227 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 15:11:38 +0000 Kirti 757227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi guys :)</p> <p>I know it has been ages since I've posted and I don't even have much of an excuse, just that life has been a bit overwhelming. I have even been on the forum off and on once I got back from India in mid October, but I'm getting around to posting only now. Phew!</p> <p>For those of you who remember, I was diagnosed with uveitis in my eyes and I went to India to find the cause and a cure. Unfortunately, after a million tests, the docs couldn't find a cure at all. The first doctor I went to prescribed a lot of oral steroids and immunosuppresants which, after getting some more opinions, I realised would be very harmful in the long run especially if I plan to kids in the next 3-5 years. Ugh. The same thing happened at a few more specialists, so I just went back to the eye doctor who I used to see regularly when I still lived in India. He prescribed a mild immunosuppresant for two weeks and I'm still taking those meds. Even this isn't a permanent cure, but hopefully it should ward off eye trouble for a year or two.</p> <p>I also went to see an ayurvedic specialist who came highly recommended. He said the problem lies in my body heat and prescribed some oil massages (which I took in India) and three months worth of medicines (which I am stil taking). There is no way to be certain that this will work, but I am hope this will permanently cure my uveitis since it worked for a few friends of my parents.</p> <p>Long story short? I'm on a lot of medication and keeping my fingers crossed for ateast a short term respite from my eye troubles, if not a permanent cure. Thank you to everyone who wished me well before my trip . I really miss you all and I'm hoping to be active on YLF once again Especially since my autumn winter wardrobe is pitiful - no coat, no leather jacket, no boots and just TWO sweaters. Time for some retail therapy </p>
