Thanks, I will give my son your message. Congratulations on
finishing college. I hope things go well for you.

My son sees an endo here at Baylor College of Medicine. She seems to
know a fair amount about his condition but sometimes I wonder if he
is on the correct dosage of prednsione and other meds. What meds to
you take and what dosage?
Ryan's cornea specialist believes his cataract is due to steroid
drops he has used on and off for 19 yrs. I assume you had your
cataracts removed when you were young? Is that correct? How are your
eyes now? Sorry for all of the questions. I haven't come across very
many APS patients that have had cataracts or eye conditions.
Thanks for your help,
Take care, Vicki

PS. Sorry for the duplicate message earlier, my computer is not co-

of life but will never forget the struggles and tears, but also the
sense of accomplishment at the end.

I switched from my peds endo. She is a young teaching doctor so she
is more on top of things than my last endo.

becuase I developed cataracts at age 5 due to calcium deficiency from
undiagnosed HPTH. At least the promising thing is that cataract
surgery has come a long way and doctors can now remove the cataract
and lens if needed and also do an artificial lens implant.
