      Yes – my husband has had intermittent bouts of uveitis. It first occurred while he was on Zelboraf and again after Ipi.  He's on Durezol eyedrops as a maintenance treatment – hasn't had any issues in a while but we're always on the lookout.

        Hi – my son developed severe headache, fatigue,chills, fever and diarrhea after his second dose of ipi. Was placed on low dose of prednisone and tapered off within a week as the symptoms improved. We were told it must have been a viral thing not a reaction so he had his third ipi a few days ago. He has developed a mild headachey feeling mostly behind his left eye , which has turned red. We are being told it's probably allergies and to take otc eye drops. He has never had eye redness with seasonal allergiesbefore,except for pink eye once when he was a child. Not really sure what is going on.
