OK I took my Humira yesterday, thought it was Sunday the day I am supposed to take it Are you sure it's a stye? The only reason I ask is that RA has completely
wrecked my eyes. I live at the eye dr. Actually had to go 4 times in a
week. Good thing he is quite attractive :) I have sjorgen's but there have
been some other issues as well. Keratits and then the last time scleritis.
That is swelling of the white of the eye. Anyway, I thought it was a stye at
first cause the outer part of the eye was swollen and tender. To bad I was
wrong...

I've only had a stye once. My doc at the time gave me some anti-biotic eye drops and recommended I buy a bottle of boric acid I believe is what it's called. It helped more than anything. It comes in powder form and it's cheap. Take like a table spoon or so to a bathroom sink full of water or you can make it a little stronger if you like and wet a washcloth and make it into a compress. Put it on your eye for 30 minutes. If when it dries it feels dry and makes your skin stiff then you can wash it off. I did this 3 times a day and it really helped.
Good luck.
There is 'an old wive's tale' Roxy that if you rub a gold wedding ring on a stye it will go away! Dont know if it works but gold was used for RA for years so there may be something in it - am curious to see if it works.
