I'm glad I went too because I really want this to be done. Oh I didn't even mention the worst part... turning my eyelids inside out! That was sooooo uncomfortable!

YUK! I know it was awful. My g-daughter had to have that done too, for a sty - she said it hurt like heck!

My boy's do that, they know they look hideous but they have outgrown it.

I'm glad they took samples, that should narrow thing down. I hope it's just something simple that they missed. Crossing my fingers for you.

Well, this is my first day of putting NOTHING in my eyes! Scott said they weren't as red this morning, just very veiny. And they are super itchy! I'm trying not to touch or rub them.

Hopefully the itching is a sign that they're healing. I hope this goes away and you don't have any more problems. I curious to hear that they find out from the scrapings.

Diana, they're not feeling so itchy anymore. I just checked in the bathroom mirror and they are still very very veiny, but in between it is white instead of pink. I think that's a good sign!

I got a call this morning and I have an appointment next Wednesday around noon. I am betting they'll do the same things as yesterday to check for changes, so I'll get Scott to take some time off to drive me there because they'll probably dilate my eyes again. I needed him to get a ride to pick me up yesterday because I couldn't even open my eyes if I was looking towards sunlight. I probably wouldn't be safe on the roads

Well, the specialists have NO IDEA what's wrong

My eyes are still red and sore and there is no explanation. I got a prescription for a steroid eye drop to take for a week, and I go back to see them in 2 weeks. I started the eye drops yesterday and there has been NO improvement at all yet.

For over a month now, every day I look like I've been crying or had a late night or whatever, and I'm just so sick of looking like this. I am so frustrated.

That sucks!!!

Is there another type of specialist you could go to? An allergist maybe?

Gayle, what do you think?
