Hi, Stacey.

Happy and sad that you found us. I agree with everything that's been said here. I also started out with my eyes being the first symptom. Before all this, I never had problems with my eyes. So when I woke up with scleritis one morning...

Anyway, everyone is right. Your sister needs to see a rheumatologist. My eye doc knew at once that there was an underlying issue and had me contact my primary doc to start tests and get referred to my rheumatologist. My eye doc, primary, rheumatologist and also ENT work closely together on my case. But my rheumatologist heads them up. She prescribes the prednisone and methotrexate I take. She orders the labs I have taken every two months. I see the others regularly, too.

So good luck, keep us posted and ask any questions you might have!
