Hello Drs;
My daughter has what the German doctors call Ocular myositis, swelling of the eye muscles. She has been fighting against this problem now sinceFebuary 2001. The first 7 years, she took cordizon, but it didn't really help. After these 7 years we went to the head Doctor at the University Hospital in Mainz, for eyes and she told us either to take drugs, such as perscribed Hempf to lessen the pain or she should get pregnant and maybe the problem would go away.
She now has a son who was born in Nov. 2009 but the problem hasn't gone away. After the first 7 years her pain wasn't so dramatic as in the first 7 years. Now since yesterday the pain and muscle swelling is so extéme that she can hardly see or focus on anything. SHe is going back into the hospital tomorrow and will have to go thru all these test again. I was wondering if it would feasable that she should go somewhere else so that she can get the help she needs. Maybe you know a specialist here in Germany for her???????
