Iritis, inflammation of the eye

Uveitis (Iritis) explained

Uveitis is defined an inflammation of the Uvea ', the middle layer of the eye. This consists of 3 structures, the Iris, the ziliar body and the chorea. Inflammation that occurs in one of these structures is called Uveitis. The inflammation of the iris is called iritis.

Iritis is an autoimmune disease that symptoms such as redness of the eye, sensitivity to light, swimmers, blurred vision and pain can occur.

The treatment of iritis can include steroid drops, injections or pills and eye drops to expand the pupil and relieve the pain.

Irritis attack can occur unexpectedly and associated with a variety of diseases, such as: B. Autoimmune diseases such as IBS, arthritis, lupus, lyme-borreliosis, Crohn's disease, colitis, to name just a few. In most cases of Iritis, however, the cause is still unknown, and doctors can only test the above points in order to exclude meaning.

The prevention of iritis cannot be determined exactly, since nobody knows why people have recurring seizures at certain times. However, there is scientific evidence that stress can be a key factor.

The side effects of taking steroid drops can include an increase in eye pressure to above normal levels. Your eye doctor will measure the pressure in your eye to see if it is normal. Complications can arise from high pressure such as glaucoma, cataracts or the formation of new blood vessels.

My story

I was diagnosed with iritis 5 years ago. Random seizures plagued me and resulted in severe pain around the eyes, sensitivity to light, “red eyes,” debilitating fatigue, and general malaise. My eyes became addicted to the steroid drops I was prescribed and every time I tried to stop the drops I would have another attack.

I was frustrated by the lack of support from doctors who couldn't diagnose an underlying cause. I felt I had no choice but to investigate the matter myself.

After many research, I was lucky enough to find a naturopath (a person who practices naturopathy, therapy with natural remedies that look at the body as a whole in order to treat the underlying cause of the disease) that specializes in iritis; They assumed that most diseases are related to a toxic intestine in any way.

I ran numerous blood tests that diagnosed an unbalanced endocrine system, extremely low cortisol levels, and poorly functioning adrenal glands. I also endured a full teeth cleaning (I had a lot of mercury-based fillings) followed by chelation (removal of heavy metals from the body).

Over the past few years, I have continually cleansed my system of parasites, fungi (Candida), and other harmful pathogens. maintain a healthy, low GI diet; consumed numerous herbal tinctures, vitamins and detox products. I practiced yoga, received massage, acupuncture and reiki to combat stress and do less impactful exercises.

In summary, I think that the cause of my iritis was the mercury toxicity that systematically causes acute candida; An unbalanced hormonal activity, a poisoned intestine, an leaked intestine and a tense, stressed body, all of which contributed to inflammation.

I'm not cured, but I feel much improved. I am gradually weaning myself off the steroid drops and feel like I have finally turned away from this debilitating disease. Through all my research, I now understand how my body works and treat it with the respect it deserves; I'm no longer afraid of the next attack.
