Rebound inflammation feels never ending
Currently on my 5th attempt to taper off prednisolone after being diagnosed with anterior iritis in February, and I feel that pesky dull ache slowly coming back. Each time I rebound my ophthalmologist will just up the dose again and again and try to taper off slower the next time. I’ve done a week of oral steroids as well to try to hit the inflammation harder this round and there are zero cells at every appointment so we thought this would be the final taper, unfortunately probably not. I’m also a steroid responder so my Dr is becoming concerned about my pressures and added on another drop to lower them. At what point should there be another course of treatment? She seems pretty passive about it, “you just don’t respond well to steroids it seems” but hasn’t recommended another course of treatment after battling this for 4 months. Is this going to be my life forever 😂. All tests have been negative regarding autoimmune as well.
