I have an autoimmune disorder that causes eye inflammation flare ups. I have to use steroid eye drops every hour for weeks when having a flare up… unless I’m on Humira.

I know that a lot of surgeons will not operate unless immune suppressors or biologics are paused at least two weeks before surgery. I’m worried about what to do if I have a flare up while stopping Humira. Or if a doctor will let me stop to get surgery :/

I’d love to hear from folks who navigated top surgery while being on a biologic or immuno compromised.
