Q: Temporal Arthritis That Causes Blindness

asked by: John1974 on April 19th, 2004

New User

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows any new treatments out there for temporal arthritis. My grandmother has recently been having eye problems and now has been diagnosed with this disorder. Her sight in one eye is completely lost and the other eye has very little vision left. The doctor has been giving her prednisone and I am wondering if there are any other treatments out there that may work.

Thanks for any help

Temporal Arthritis

Pain and stiffness due to temporal arthritis can be alleviated with application of homeopathic medicines like arnica, rhus tox, calc flour etc.
What is the problem with her vision? Does she suffer from glaucoma or macular degeneration. More information would be needed to comment about the same.
I am sure homeopathic medicine would be of help to her.
