I went back to the eye doctor and he flipped my lid over again. This time more aggressively. And he found a carbuncle on the under surface of my upper lid. He used a Q-tip to give it some pressure and it burst, releasing pus out into my eye and down my face. It explains why I had the unshakeable feeling that something was in my eye. He said now that it's burst it should be easier to clear up. He's got me on another round of anti-biotics; this time both drops AND pills. <br />Strangely, he said these antibiotics have the side effect of lowering melatonin, so people (especially in tropical climates) are likely to get bad sunburns. We agreed it probably wouldn't be an issue for me and my cimmerian lifestyle. <br />I hope to report, after ten more days, that my eyes are clear and my vision is improved.

I made an appointment with a Naturopathic doctor and she suggested that I get myself tested for allergies, which she seems to think is behind all of my problems. I've been given a referral to the lab, so all that's required now is for me to walk in and have my blood drawn to begin the testing. <br />I think I may also want to go another step further and get the kind of tests where they prick your arms to determine if the allergies are something other than dietary. <br />My instinct is that it's either mold, mildew, dust mites or pet dander. But it all remains to be seen. <br />At least for now, my eyes are clear again. <br />Jason Alan Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02499882940619660413noreply@blogger.com
