| My facial tics have been pretty bad today, I've had an eyelash in my eye today and my eyes in general are SORE as heck. I'm pretty sad about it. I sometimes wish my body and vocal tics were more active. My eyes are so dang sore and I HATE IT!! |

I also have sensitive eyes. I once tried contacts, but my eyes are too sensitive for those, so the experiment didn't last long. I only had a problem wearing glasses many years ago, when I was young. Because I have a bit of a ski nose, glasses with glass lenses were too heavy, and kept sliding off my nose. My father, who was paying for my glasses at the time, didn't want to pay for plastic lenses, as they were more expensive back then. He finally relented when he was giving me driving lessons. When my father was giving me driving lessons, my glasses with glass lenses wouldn't stay on my face, and I had to keep blocking my vision by pushing them back up. My father realized that this was not safe for driving, so he finally sprung for a pair of glasses with plastic lenses. Although I can see well enough to get around on foot without glasses, I need them to drive, watch TV, and surf the I-net.
When I was in high school I had a bout of conjunctivitis. I have had a number of bouts since then. A doctor prescribed some ointment, eye drops, and eye wash. The eye wash helped the most, and I now keep some at home all the time, to deal with any kind of flare ups. I suggest you buy some and use it when your eyes are really bad. You can buy it over the counter, so you won't need a prescription, or a doctor appointment to get it. The brand I prefer is Collyrium, but there are others out there. Just make sure the one you pick does NOT have thimerisol in it. That is a form of mercury, which is toxic. Some drug companies put mercury in meds as a preservative, but there are safer alternatives.
Hope the eye wash helps. If not, then see your doctor for something stronger. |

Don't worry, I have structurally overexhaused eyes (they start hurting at some part of the day, each day again, t'll infitinity), good functioning ones luckely. You're eyes can take a lot of pain (not wounds offcourse). |

The insane desire to actually do them to feel relief. If I hold them in, I will fly off the handle and be a jumbled mess of tics. I have no idea what the cause is. I've had them since I was 6, I'm 21 now.

No health insurance to see anybody right now.
