If it is arteritic then large doses of oral cortison are needed to get the sed rate down. The section on emedicine is especially good.
If its non-arteritic there is no treatment for the eye problem and visual recovery is usually good. Again emedicine entry is excellent.
You might also do some online research to better educate yourself about your condition. Emedicine has a good article about CME related to macular puckers (aka epiretinal membranes.) Their suggested treatment for the CME invovlves peeling the pucker.
Probably a chalazion. Google that term and read the emedicine entry to learn more.
See an Eye MD for a proper diagnosis and to get treatment. It could be something else.
Find an Eye MD on www.aao.
How bizarre. You're right- even with a blighted ovum, your body produces hcg, so I'm stumped. Maybe a missed miscarriage? What does your doctor plan to do next?
s a very complicated disease and not easy to describe. I suggest you do internet search on WebMD or emedicine and see if you have any further questions. Starbursts are not a common symptoms in AZOOR and more suggestive of cataracts, cornea problems, need for glasses or new glasses RX or macular problems.
To expand on Bill's info...
If you are experiencing hepatic encephalopathy then you must have advanced liver disease. You should be under the care of a hepatologist, preferably at at liver transplant center. They will be familiar with treating the symptom of HE (and other complications of decompensated cirrhosis) and in accessing the level of HE.
Treatment:
Lactulose is considered "the first-line therapy" for HE. It is used to produce 2-4 bowel movements per day.

this article on emedicine is quite comprehensive. It would excellent to bring with you for doctors appointments. You need to register to view (free to register). Once you do, just search on Brachioradial Pruritus.
There are several different types of botulinum toxin used in pain management, Botox being just one of them. Seizures from treatment with botulinum toxin are a rare side effect, but certainly worth discussing with your doctor(s). As with any treatment, there are risks. You just have to weigh those against the possible benefits.
Look on google or emedicine or search archives of this forum to learn more. See an ophthalmologist to make sure it is not a retinal or vitreous detachment or a transient ischemic attack.
some of these medications may be medically necessary). Also this is a clinically accurate webpage on Emedicine on tardive dyskinesia. that you could discuss with whichever doctor follows up on this concern.
If you check the emedicine site, they talk about high alcohol intake and the risk of atrial fibrillation.
APMPPE is well described in eMedicine of WebMD. I do not know if your feeling of pressure in your head is related to this or not. I would definitely see a neurologist and bring your eye records wioth you if possible.
I double posted as I was not sure whether this was appropriate for an allergist or dermatologist. Some eMedicine articles talked about seeing a dermatologist. I hope I have not offended you, which ever speciality you practice. Thank you again.

Google searching I found a good article on the Emedicine site. Thank goodness Herpes encephalitis is relatively rare. This article cited a rate of 3 cases per 100,000. of people infected with Herpes The Herpes they mentioned in the article was both type 1 and type 2. Herpes-zoster(the Herpes that causes chickenpox) can rarely cause encephalitis. There is now a good vaccine for Herpes-zoster.
