I am so sorry to hear that she is being discouraged. I have the "red eyes" and am on prednisone drops for the eyes. Some days they look better. Yesterday, a blood vessel burst and I had additional ugly redness. I noticed I was weak and tired before it happened and felt flu like symptoms. I am taking Humira, prednisone and was on methotrexate but stopped because my hair was falling out and I was nauseous. But methotrexate does help and it is cheap so maybe she can find someone to rx that. In January, I also had bad weakness and couldn't lift my head off the pillow or comb my hair or barely walk. Now I am up walking and doing daily activities again. I can hold my grandchild. Your sister needs to search for the best available care and drugs she can get in India. I will pray for her as I know from my friends who are in US and grew up in India that it is harder there. Yes, get your sister to best eye care and rheum available.
