"I have yet another eye infection. The second Iritis outbreak this year. I've been having them much more frequently since my PCa diagnosis, due, I suspect to my fatigue and constantly feeling "low". Back to the hospital tomorrow 😐"

  1. @rob49er Stress can cause a lot of health issues as it can weaken your immune system. You may want to try getting out and walking to relive stress and of course pay a visit to an eye doctor. I always like to see an MD who has a focus on the particular ailment i am facing - Good luck and do keep us updated Dennis(ProstateCancer.net TEAM)

  2. Hi . Your doctor should be able to provide further information, but the hit to the immune system from cancer and treatment can possibly make someone more susceptible to infections. I know that those with autoimmune conditions are also more prone to iritis. Hoping you get some relief soon. Best, Richard (ProstateCancer.net Team)

  3. thank you for your comment. I've spent the day in the urgent care eye department of the hospital.
    Not good news, the infection has caused the pupil to stick to the lens in my right eye so lot's of drops and some steroids to fight the infection and back to hospital Tuesday morning. 😐
