I'm really worried about my husband's situation. He's dealing with uveitis, and every time he stops using his corticosteroids, the inflammation flares up again, so he has to go back on the meds. Right now, he's on dexamethasone, and he also has this HLA-B27 issue. Could you help me understand why this keeps happening?

I'm waking up every morning with this really bad pain going from my knees all the way down to my feet. I just had a blood test done, and it turns out I don't have diabetes, but my uric acid levels are constantly high. I know this is probably because I have meningomyelocelespinafidida at the last joint of my spine. Can you tell me what might be going on or how to manage it? I'm a bit worried about all this.
Considering your high uric acid levels and meningomyelocele (spina bifida), the severe knee-to-toe pain may be related to gout, nerve compression, or musculoskeletal issues; consult your doctor to discuss pain management option

I recently got my blood and urine tests done for insurance purposes, and the results are a bit concerning. The report says my ESR, which I believe stands for erythrocyte sedimentation rate, is high. Plus, there's some abnormal protein showing up in my urine. I'm not quite sure what all this means. Could you help me understand what's going on and what steps I should take to bring these readings back to normal?
