Hi Cindy, Sorry, but I have not been around much lately. Don't feel up to reading or typing replies. However I saw your post and thought I would answer this one. I get bleeds like that when I am on high doses of pred. Even as little as 40mgs can do it. It worries my family when they see it. It slowly goes away on it's own, but continues to happen until I reduce pred. I think pred can weaken blood vessels, thus the bleeds. I am not saying that is what is causing your problem, but it could be a possibility. Hope you have some wonderful family time this Christmas. There is always an element of sadness for those who are no longer with us, but joy in our blessings just the same. Wishing everyone wellness over the holiday and a good year to come. BJ-Sk. Canada

Last night I had a little bleed in left eye. like a burst vessel that spread out. We looked it up and found a thing called episcleritis it is Lupus related like an inflammation. showed a pic that looked just like my eye. I called dr. first thing my eye specialist is out of town and no one to see there for week they said call rheumy he called back also out of office but said to up pred to 80mg Buzzing now he said sounded like same thing we found. Take the pred until it is gone if doesn't go call back Anyone had this? just wondering Thanks Cindy W.
