Re: 's eye/Barb

[Guest guest]

Thanks for that, I will give it a try - I'm fast running out of

options. It's driving me nuts - he sometimes drops his spoon in the

middle of his dinner because he HAS to rub his eye.

Will see how it goes.

Take Care.

and itching and watering for months. He did the whole allergy thing,

went to the eye doctor, nobody could help. He was put on all sorts

of prescription stuff and nothing worked - steriod drops, etc. In

fact they made him worse. One doctor finally suggested something

very simple like putting cortizone cream on his eyelid to see if it

did anything. Bought some over the counter....and it worked! Turns

out it was some sort of excema on his eyelid, you couldn't even see

it...but the cream cleared it up within days and it never came back.

Might be worth a try, can't see how it would hurt really. Not sure

about the seizure connection though.
