Re: [TMIC] ladies I need help
Krissy, I have the same problem from time to time. I just take my eyeballs out and soak them in a dilute baking soda solution overnight. Works like a charm. If you've never done this you should learn the proper technique for the removal and reinsertion. Good Luck pH
Re: [TMIC] ladies I need help
There's our naughty Frank. I have been wondering where you've been hiding. (You needn't tell us - let us use our imaginations) Actually I think removing the eyeball sounds like a very good solution. I will give it a try myself. Glad to have you back - have missed your humor!

Re: [TMIC] ladies I need help
Hi Krissy, I'm definitely NOT an expert here. However, the first thing that struck me was the use of eye creams. I cannot use anything like that around my eyes. Some eye creams I think can cause swelling etc around the eyes. Maybe you have some sort of eye infection. I would be off to the family doctor right away if I were you. Also the activities surrounding Christmas and New Year's season have made me very tired myself.

And I am not kidding! This has only been like the past few weeks I have seen this get worse and worse...Now, I am not sure if it is a reaction to all the eye creams I have been trying, or lack of sleep or too much sleep..I don't know. I go to sleep about 12am or soI do toss and turn at night , switching positions for my legs and rear end numbness...but I seem to *sleep* a good 8 hours...but I feel I could still sleep more...I am not refreshed waking up either. I feel like I am suddenly starting to look very old and tired...I am 45 and a few weeks ago I looked smooth and rested :( help?

Re: [TMIC] ladies I need help
Krissy, I would stop using the creams as well. Maybe put some cool rags on your eyes and get to an urgent care NOW. Or maybe call an optometrist, but don't "wait and see". Ella Elyria, Ohio
Re: [TMIC] ladies I need help
Krissy, I second the vote that you stop using the cremes. If you really want to use something, maybe for awhile just use a little olive oil or vitamin E oil around the eye area until you figure out what you are allergic toif indeed it is an allergy. I use Burt's Bee's facial stuff and some other brands that do not use much in the way of synthetics. Look into the herb Eyebright and see if maybe you can make an eyewash out of it. I am not sure if you can or not. I guess I am just not one to go to doctors easily (sorry, Frank). I always try to treat at home if possible. Laura in NC
