I can't believe it....

You might look into getting your air conditioner vents cleaned (inside the vents). Lots of crud, even mold, can build up in them and that might be contributing to the problem.

I'm really glad that you are comfortable with your doctor. She sounds like she is listening to you!

Thank goodness you found a good doctor! Allergies would make sense, especially in a new environment. There may be one or two new things that could really upset your allergies.

I always had allergies, sometimes worse than others. They very often changed when I changed the school I was working in. The funny thing is, when I moved upstate, many of my allergies are gone. You would think all of the greenery would make them worse, but I think allergens hide in corners of building much more than we think.

Thanks Judy! I'll have to read through some more of that when I get some time!

I am sure it's something in our house now. When we went to BC on holidays, I think my eyes were still red because I DID still have an infection then. Or perhaps I was allergic to those drops. But I had yellow gunk coming from my eyes for the next few weeks, so there was an infection. On Saturday I spent most of the day outside, then went into the city and spent the night at my grandma's house. My eyes were so bright white in the morning! The veins were still there, but not as prominent. We were in the city shopping all day and my eyes didn't hurt at all, and stayed white. Last night we came home, went to bed, got up this morning, and they're more red again. We're going to clean the vents this week and hopefully buy a humidifier soon. If we can't fix it ourselves we'll look into how expensive it is to get someone out to test the air in our house.

I hope your eye doctor has finally figured out what's going on. You may want to check into an ionizer. They ionize the air and help with allergies. The dry eyes could be caused by not blinking enough when you're on the computer.

Maybe you WERE allergic to the drops! I'm so glad you found a doctor you feel confident with.

Well. my eyes are still not better. I tried wearing contacts on Saturday night to a barbeque for a few hours. My eyes still hurt, not really any worse or better than when I wear glasses. I was supposed to go back to the specialist this Friday, but my grandma's second husband passed away on the weekend and I will be going to his funeral Friday instead. So I have rescheduled the appointment for next week.

Scott is taking antihistamine eye drops and his eyes haven't improved either! But now the cold is settling in, leaves are changing, crops are being taken off feilds, so if it is an outside allergy it may be calming down soon.

I can't believe that you both have this and nobody has figured out what's going on!!! I would be so fustrated!!!


I'm so sorry about the loss of your step grandfather. My condolences.
