Hello again,
I've not been on here in a few months, last time I posted about my story everyone was so helpful. I did try all the ideas given, I bought myself a pair of TranquilEye goggles, really expecting some results, sadly, after the first week looking promising, the more I wore them the more red my eyes were in the morning, so I stopped using them. I also tried some eye tear drops, but didn't really notice any difference, except a hole in my wallet
So, really for the last month or two, I've not used anything, no compress in the morning/evening, no drops/tears, no goggles, no nothing. All I've done is tried to be careful with how I stress my eyes (I purchased an XBOX 360, but hey, I get bored, and it's put away at the moment) and wait for my hospital appointment.
And so this brings me to now, this morning I had appointment at the Eye Clinic at the Hospital. I was very nervous as I knew they were going to do some tests on my eyes, thankfully my gorgeous fiance came in with me and remembered everything he said, which I forget as I was not in the best frame of mind. After, testing my eyesight, then pulling my eyelids down and looking at them, he dropped some anaesthetic into my eye, saying it "it would sting for a few seconds" (my eyes are so sensitive I was there for a few minutes in some discomfort, with my fiance looking on rather worried) he then me told he wanted to test the pressure of my eyes by pressing them against some wierd looking gadget, at this point I told him point blank that i couldn't do it, really I just couldn't bring myself to do that to my eyes, they already hurt.
So anyway, after all that he's told me I have Atopic Conjunctivitis, my eyelids are apparently very inflammed (explaining why my eyes are so sore at night and in the morning) which is probably linked to my Asthma, (and we think personally maybe an allergy to my fiance's cat, gulp!), and I'm seeing my Doctor later to pick up some eye drops and gel which he wants me try for 3 months.
It's nice to put a name to what I have and be able to work on healing my eyes.
If you've got all the way to the end of this without falling asleep, I salute you and thanks for listening. I would go through the whole forum and see if others have got the same thing, but to be honest, my eyes are rather sore from this morning, and writing all this, so I'll just ask all you lovely people if you've had the same condition and what your outcome was with the medicine, and I'll come back on later after resting my eyes.
God Bless you all
