Scleritis symptoms and conditions

I was using Restasis, as well as Methotrexate, to help relieve the discomfort of dry eye and scleritis; however, I believe after six months of using Restasis, there has been progressive redness and extremely painful episodes. I believe I have discovered that the Restasis was actually exacerbating the scleritis!! I discontinued the use of the Restasis, and magically, my eyes, which have been continually red and terribly painful for at least six months, have cleared! Not sure yet if it was actually the Restasis that was causing my scleritis to worsen, but if my eyes continue to stay clear, I will not use the Restasis again.

I experienced a severe, exceedingly painful scleritis after my first dose of Fosamax. The ophthalmologist treated it as as "allergy" with prentisone drops. I was prevented from taking a second dose and the eye cleared up but recurred in full force after resumption of the medication. I accidentally noticed "Rarely, eye involvement" in the brochure that comes with the drug. But who associates Fosamax with the eye? My doctor didn't believe it until I was able to find several medical reports of such instances. The reports emphasized that the affliction did not clear up until the medication was stopped. I have not taken it again and have had no further trouble. I suppose I should try it once more,but no thanks! It hurt too much!
