Bunny I had that a few times before I was diagnosed with Thyroid, bright red

like you've been hit with something? The first time I'd

been tiling kitchen floor and put it down to a bit of ceramic dust

from cutting the tiles getting in my eye. Then it happened again, it was just

there when I woke up (eyes had been dry itchy before that)

next day it was gone?

Few weeks later it came back and I went to doc who surprisly didn't

know what it was but said it could be a small blood vessel had burst

with me rubbing at eyes. When I think about now though I was rubbing whole eye

yet it was always outside corner...never did get to the bottom of it but it was

weird looking! It was only eye with me though,

I'd do like says :-)

Love Tess

HI BUNNY,

Have you checked your BP, as my sister's eyes bled I think it was a blood

vessel burst, but it was due to high BP.

I also get sore gritty eyes, but have been told that the gland does not make

enough fluid so have to use eye drops to moisten them. Iron can cause gastric

bleeding, so could it cause eyes to become bloodshot. Do you wear glasses or

contact lenses, as contact lenses can easily cause infection.

My arms too have started itching after washing then using aqueas cream, but this

was very bad when I had an electrolye problem even washing in plain water I

itched like mad plus nearly driving me mad. It was corrected by giving potassium

and sodium. You should either see an optician or your GP.

I hope you get sorted out soon.

taking various vitamin supplements. Everything seemed okay except I've gone

into the bathroom and looked in the mirror a few times over the last 3 or 4

weeks and I kept noticing one of my pupils was bigger than the other. I thought

it was just my bad eyesight and I was imagining it but today when I looked it

was really obvious and not something I could miss.

Hi Tess,

Yes it does look like I've been hit with something and I always seem to wake up

with it too - has gone again now. I'm waiting to see an eye expert (insert

technical term here!) in a few weeks about my double vision so will wait and

tell them about it if it's still happening.

Thanks for your help ; )

Hi Kathleen

I did have quite high blood pressure up until I started taking Armour about two

months ago now - but it seems to be normal again now. I don't wear glasses or

contact lenses - I probably should but they keep saying all my eye problems are

caused by my thyroid/ME so glasses can't help them.

I know what you mean tho cos when I did have high blood pressure it really used

to feel like it was damaging my eyes and they used to be very red all the time -

this is wierd tho cos it's only in the far corners. Oh well at least my blood

pressure has gone down now thanks to the Armour so I can rule that out.

Thanks for your help.
