What Causes Leakage Behind Eyes, Joint Pain And Tiredness?
Hi, I'm a 36 year old female. 14 months ago I suffered leaks behind both eyes, the scarring has now caused decreased sight in the right eye. I also have been suffering joint pain and severe tiredness, sleeping around 12-18 hours per day. My thyroid function was at the very top end of normal 6 months ago, bloods taken again today as symptoms are getting worse. I also tested positive to HLA-B7 12 months ago. I also can't lose any weight despite careful diet and trying to excersise. Is it likely that I have underactive thyroid. Seen by rheumatologist but no inflammation found. I'm now at my witts end, this all started in September 2009 after a SEVERE viral infection that knocked me off my feet!
