Eyes

[Guest guest]

Since I've had thyroid problems, my eyes hurt in the evenings and if I read for

longer than 10 minutes. The only thing that has helped me is to close them!

Pre diagnosis I did suffer with pain in the eyes, and my eyeballs it seemed,

felt hot. In desperation one day I put aloe vera gel that was stored in the

fridge directly into my eyes just to get some relief. I did for about two

seconds then came the sting. I AM NOT RECOMMENDING YOU TRY THIS it was just to

illustrate my situation and how desperate I felt at that time. I also developed

dry eyes, and when I fell asleep, I woke up and my eyeballs would momentarily be

stuck to the inside of my eyelids. It was a horrible time for me. I read that

linseeds/flaxseeds and the oil derived from ingesting them in the diet was good

for the eyes, and eating the blue and purple fruits like blueberries and

bilberries. I forget what they say is in them that is good for the eyes, but I

eat both every day. The linseeds I sprinkle on breakfast cereal and I eat a

punnet a day of blueberries at breakfast. Again pre diagnosis, I had terrible

night blindness during the winter months, I used to keep clipping kerbstones

when I was driving and street lighting never seemed bright enough. Also I found

my abilty to focus was affected. I also developed sensitivity to light or

looking at white paper, as the paper would appear ultra white to my eyes and

cause headaches. I took to adjusting the brightness of the computer screen down

to its lowest setting and sometimes wore sunglasses to watch T.V. to lessen the

headaches caused by the array of different colours on the T.V. Sometimes I would

just keep using cold compresses with my eyes closed to cool the eye area down.

Only being medicated with thyroid meds did things improve, but it took time

until my eyes got better. I got the endorsement from my optician who was pleased

to tell me that there had been no change in my prescription in over a year and I

am 49 now. She said I was a long way off requiring bi-focal glasses as I am

getting older, and could now have my eyes tested every two years instead of

yearly. Taking lutein is meant to help with aging eyesight, and even if your not

that old, you could begin taking it as a preventive measure against your future

eye health. This is anecdotal and maybe peculiar to me, but I found eating lots

of coriander, in carrot and coriander soup helped sharpen my vision.

God Bless, Good Health, and Happy Easter!

Hi! When I had the same things with my eyes I put cucumber on them. It didn't

take it away but it took down some of the swelling.

Yes, I try to go away for a few minutes at least

every little while. Get up and walk around and

do something else, even when I have lots of stuff to do on the computer.

Lynn,

I think it's a joke when doctors tell us that . . . Of course we could blink or turn our eyes - if we weren't concentrating on what we're doing . . . By the time we realize our eyes are getting dry, it's too late!

There are some excellent OTC preparations for dry eyes . . . drops for day, ointment for night. . . Just watch out for silicone in them.

Still traveling!

Hugs,

Rogene

Hi everyone - quick question and then a suggestion.

1. Has anyone experienced her baby waking up after sleeping in the helmet on her side and getting an eye looking slightly swollen, yet smaller - more closed than the other eye?? Is it possible for the helmet pressure to malform the eye???!!!

2. Suggestion - I know some people have been having ins. probs. in getting the helmet covered. I live in CA and was just told that if your baby has torticollis and maybe even plagio alone - the state will pay for the helmet in total - if ins. co. denies coverage.In the Stockton area the organization is called - Valley Mountain Regional Center - but check with your doctor and/or child welfare/clinics etc.

Thanks,

1). i have hear of the eye getting a little squished by the band.

sometimes they call it " angry eye " . i don't believe it malforms they

eye, but i would ask your ortho about it and make sure there is no

excessive pressure.

2) i'm in CA and haven't heard this. our band was covered 100% by

kaiser. others have had different levels of coverage. i haven't heard

of the state picking up the cost.

,

1. I didn't have this but I would definitely ask your ortho. If

the pressure is malforming your child's head that needs to be

corrected asap.

2. That is cool that CA (or at least what you heard) will pay for

the helmet in full if insurance won't. Hope that works for the

Californians on this board.

My Son's helmet used to visually squish his eye when he was awake

and sitting upright. I was told that this should never happen and

that he needed an adjustment. After the adjustment, the squishing

didn't happen. I think you need to go for an adjustment.

Hi Dev,

Welcome back. I too had the same problem a while back, what helped me was to

wash my eyes with a cotton ball soaked in Pau D'Arco tea (which was on the cool

side). Give it a try and see if it works for you also.

Good luck, Maddalena

[Guest guest]

Hi Deb,

This is a question best answered by Bee but it might help her to know

if you've tried any of the suggestions in the Eye Treatment file? Has

anything made a difference? And how long have your eye troubles been

going on?

Hi Jo:

Did you add it in tincture form or capsules? Or an eye wash decoction? I

have taken Stephania Root in both capsule form and tinctures, and haven't really

noticed any difference when I quit either way. I am still taking it in

capsules.

The herb that I did notice a BIG difference with, is Devil's Claw. That made

my vision much, much clearer with than without.

Jim.

Just want to share my experience with vision. I don't have the serious

problems being described here, just near sighted and 'wobbly' vision

sometimes when I'm really toxic.

I added stephania this summer at the same time I was swimming regularly.

I noticed my distance vision improved dramatically! I was amazed. jo

[Guest guest]

Jim, I took the first pound of stephania as a powder, l tsp 3Xday. That

is when I noticed the improvement in vision. I've since made a glycerite

of stephania + teasel + red root.

I've been taking Devil's claw for a few weeks and am not experiencing

anything that I can identify. Buhner lists it for pain but my pain level

is actually up. That's because of the colder weather. But the Devil's

claw isn't helping. I'll continue taking it for a while longer, but it

just may be something that doesn't do anything for me. We're all

different in how we respond to different herbs. jo

[Guest guest]

Jo,

I noticed huge improvements in my vision within a day of taking the Devil's

Claw. And a big drop in it when I stopped. So that is THE one herb I will

probably never stop.

I didn't notice much difference one way or the other with Stephania root.

BUt I still take it too, just because Buhner recommends it.

Jim.

Oh gosh, there is soo much, I forgot......someone mentioned crying a trail of black specks. When you cry that trail, did you develop any bites after? Pimples, milia, itching.

Eyes

How many of us are having trouble with their eyes? Do you ever get something in them? Floaters? Conjunctivitis? (goo in the corners of the eyes?) Is the "goo" just goo or does it have form? Teeny tiny pearl with goo? Wormy goo? A little black thing in the goo? Itchy? Teeny tiny wrinkles? Deep crease wrinkles? White flecks on the eyelashes? Feeling crawling on the eyelashes or skin surrounding the eye?

[Guest guest]

Hi Frito,

Yes--I have most of those--I am very worried about my eyes.

I put vaseline (aquaphor) in my eyelashes and eyes every night or else i will

feel crawling and even biting in and on my eyeball---soooooo awful!!

Yes, the biting. I forgot that. Does anyone use visine? I didn't have a problem with my eyes until I stopped. Just picked that back up.

Yes, I also have itchy eyes and brows so I keep vaseline on them

every night. I also wear an eye mask which helps a lot but that

takes a getting use to.

Is it the Aquaphor or the Eucerin that contains a derivative of sodium?

buggers...

i will try that again---i kinda forgot about that!

Hi Lucy, I think visine has sodium in it as well? I did use colloidal silver at one time, but when I stopped, they came back with a vengenace. I don't know, I do know it helps the skin heal, but I experienced a healing over the problem not the problem going away. Maybe both together.....
