Hello
Welcome to health care magic.
It seems from the history that you are having recurrent uveitis as a result of vasculitis.
The treatment of the condition is by use of steroids and antiinflammatory drugs.
Medical marijuana is not likely to be much help in this condition as the definitive treatment is by treatment with steroids.
Thank you
