Re: Dark glasses
"war going on in my head" ... "nerves fighting for control" ... "headache" ... OH YES, OH YES, OH YES. Finally, someone who shares those odd symptoms with me! I have told doctors for several years now that it feels as though my eyes are fighting with each other. They refuse to focus correctly. No one understands, and they just say it must be that my blood sugar is high, or I'm stressed, or ....I came home from Spokane with the most terrible headache this afternoon, after having to be in there for several hours and trying so hard to drive carefully and get my doctor visit and errands finished. Plus it was hot. I grabbed my frozen stuff out of the car, put it away, got into cooler clothing, and told my Benji dog that we were napping. I immediately fell asleep for three hours under the ceiling fan. My head felt like it was a jumbled heap of barbed wire until I slept it off.

Ceiling fan
Sally, I used to love my ceiling fan. Now I rarely use it because the air movement from it dries out my eyes.
Re: Ceiling fan
Mine, too, but sometimes I just have to use it. Same thing happens with the car a/c, so I turn the vents away from me, but there is no way I can give it up. I'd melt. It's always a trade off ... keeping the eyes more comfortable, or keeping from turning into a puddle of butter.Sally in North Idaho
Re: Ceiling fan
Sally, The air movement is great for drying out things so add a little humidity like a vase of water in the same room, it might help. Chris
Re: Ceiling fan
Good idea. Thanks, Chris.Sally
Re: Dark glasses
yes, cliff. that is the feeling i get when the botox starts to work and the side effects set in. it's like 2 pulling forces in opposite directions for awhile and very very uncomfortable and painful for me.

Re: Dark glasses
I had that feeling before I ever had Botox. It was one of my first really bad symptoms, so I can't attribute it to the Botox. Sometimes the pulling forces are relieved by Botox, but after the last injections, they came back in full force. I wrote to the neurologist and told him, so will see what he has to say about it at my August visit.Sally
Re: Dark glasses
mine did also last time because of the heat and humidity, nothing like walking around with your eyes half closed. and then i had my party. smile.
