Lindsey, I hope that you find out what's wrong soon.

I'm leaving for my appointment in a few minutes. Scott may also have caught it from me now... his eyes have been very red and veiny for the past week. He blames in on allergies, but he has had allergies since June and his eyes just started getting red last week, and they're getting worse like mine.

It turns out I saw the same doctor. And again, he has NO IDEA what it could be. I told him my eyes hurt and he said this has gone on way too long. He sent me back out to the waiting room and came back 20 minutes later, gave me a prescription for MORE steroid drops (apparently a little different from the first?) and said another specialist's office will be calling me for an appointment. This new guy is an internal eye specialist. Maybe he can figure it out.

I got my eyes frozen and prodded again today and it made me feel nauseous again. I wish I was normal.

GRRRRR! They better find out what is wrong soon or I'm gonna come up there and whup someone!!! By the way, if you were normal, you wouldn't be as interesting! But really, I wish your eyes were extremely NORMAL! But I ask my students to define normal. Have you ever tried to define normal? What is normal? It's kinda hard!

I can't believe that you STILL haven't found anything out yet!!! I'd be getting pretty upset with my doctor by now. I hope the specialist finds something out and soon!!!!!

I have not even heard from the new doctor yet to set up an appointment. If he doesn't call today, I am calling the referring specialist, getting his number, and calling myself.

I am 95% sure Scott has the same thing now. The whites of his eyes are pink and they are very veiny looking. I told him it looks like pink eye, but he refuses to go to a doctor. Maybe he has had it this whole time too but hasn't been showing symptoms. Maybe I can't get rid of it because he's not being treated for it either.

Anyways, on top of this I am still having sinus problems and for the past two days I've had terrible chest congestion and a cough. I can't say after this long that anything is related, but it's all just making me pretty miserable.

Oh yeah, and the new drops haven't helped at all yet. Frustrating.
