I have suffered with a SEVERE eye issue for 2 yrs. now. Tested negative for viral or bacterial, as it was first thought to be conjunctivitis. Wrong ! Allergy testing showed nothing significant. Numerous antiobiotic and steroid drops provide temporary relief, but keeps coming back. Diagnosed as autoimmune. Change of diet and methotrexate did not work. Eyes are red, swollen, gritty... dry... sometimes "mat" in mornings usually. My glands do not feel overly swollen or clogged but have not had any treatment for that. I sometimes feel like something is moving in corners of my eyes when I put steroids or other drops in. Last eye doctor said he hasn't seen anything like it in his years of practice and my case is "interesting", although he couldn't help ! Said my eyes have "stippling", even across field of vision and cornea area. Getting ready to sell my Airbnb rental cottage in Arkansas because I can't See clearly to drive 8 hours every other month to check on it. I'm at the end of my rope. Jesus said if your eye 'offends' you, to pluck it out. I KNOW what he actually meant by that statement, but I honestly "feel" like it sometimes ! I've been thru 3 regular docs., 3 eye docs, and immunologist! On Ativan to 'calm' things down... I don't want a bandaid.. I want a CURE... the only other symptom that I ave noticed increasing over the past 2 years is loose bowels and occasional headaches. Rarely wear eye makeup anymore. I do have a dog which we are very close... i know dogs can sometimes get and 'carry' parasites, etc.. I have a heated, massaging eye mask that I use that seems to offer a 'little' help, but very temporary. My eyesight has gotten worse and very blurry!!! I'm afraid of going blind if something isn't done.. any advise appreciated !
