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 having this persistent pain along the right side of my sternum and it's starting to worry me. I've had several tests donea breast ultrasound, MRI, X-ray, and even an echoand they all came back normal. I'm wondering, could costochondritis be the cause, and if so, is there any imaging that can detect it? I really need to figure out what's going on.

I've been having these symptoms for about 7 months now, like this weird internal fever where I feel hot inside, but it doesn't show up on a thermometer. I also get frequent headaches and this annoying pain in my joints, especially in my hands and legs. It's gotten to the point where I'm just not motivated to do anything. What do you think might be going on with me?
