I was thinking some kind of allergy also. Sometimes its not an allergy per
se but a sensitivity.
Anyway, I would quit using that stuff as well.
I also recall reading over time some articles and opinions on how an auto
immune response is like an allergy response to the body. And how one can trigger
or play into the other. So if you are TM as a result of an auto immune thing
that maybe some allergies or sensitivities have reared their ugly head. I also
know that some folks with serious allergies say that an allergy attack can bring
on an increase in their TM or MS symptoms. A chicken/egg thing.
So even if these creams and stuff were okay for you before your TM maybe
now they are not.
If your eyes continue to bother you I would go to the doctor.
I would also ask my neuro about some sleep Rx. There are some
pretty good ones out there now and you should be able to get some samples to
try. Between the tv commercials and the print ads the drug companies
want us all to sleep well. Most doctors have samples.

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.

Subject: [TMIC] ladies I need
help
the past 2 weeks, I have
seen my eyes getting progressively worse....watery, VERY red and
tired looking, sometimes they sting a little...bags
underneath!! , so bad they look like elephants knees. 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 so....I 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?
