Hey there! I have been doing better :)! They upped my pred to 20-25 mg a day and right now waiting to hear back from my insurance about starting Cytoxan! Changes are good! Anyway I am wondering if anyone has had a black spot in their vision caused by lupus? It happens worse in the morning and at night, haha kind of like the joint pains... When I am looking, my right eye in the right part of my vision is almost black, its almost impossible to read and especailly read numbers while this happens. Could this be from inflamation somewhere in the eye? Anyone had simulair experience? Does it go away?

Amy, I don't want to alarm you, but you need to see an eye doctor as soon as possible.
Call and get an exam, it will give you peace of mind.

Hoping all goes well !

I don't know what that could be, but I agree -- see a dr ASAP. Your sight isn't something you want to mess with.

Cheers,

thanks yall!! got into primary quicker than eye doc and they said the episodes are caused by migraines. i had no idea, asked if i was stressed, i said no. then asked what my daily schedule was and he said i was deff stressed so got some meds for them. hopefully they wont last to long. once again a MRI was suggested but i declined. anywho, this moniter isnt helping my head at all, just thought i would give an update...thanks again!

If you are using a Microsoft machine, try Settings/Control Panel/Display/Monitor - you'll see a "Screen Refresh Rate". Often they are set at 60 Hertz - set it at the highest number your system allows that will work with your monitor.

That reduces the amount of flicker, and is easier on the eyes. (You can do the same with other operating systems, I just don't happen to have directions handy for them all!)

Maybe that'll help a little,
