I wear gas permeable contact lenses and have been having trouble with itching eyes and whitish

Posted By: PAMT on 2007-05-28
In Reply to:

exudate when I wear them lately and the eye doc says it is allergies.  I have tried Allergan for contact lens problems but it doesnt really work.  It may also be my eyes are dry.  I dont want to try other lenses but just wondered if anyone else has this problem.  I end up wearing my glasses and I actually see better with the lenses but they have become very uncomfortable.  I am middle aged by the way.  I never had this problem before and did you find anything that works.

I wear Unilens gas permeable bifocal lenses.
I am also middle-aged. During high pollen times, I have difficulty wearing my lenses, too, and I think this is much worse since I've gotten older. Dry eyes are part of the deal, I guess. I happen to use Boston solution for my lenses, and sometimes a drop or two in both eyes will help extend my wear time. But, whenever I use any antihistamines, I have to count on not wearing my lenses. Those just exacerbate the dry eye problem.
All I can suggest is to limit your lens wear time and try re-wetting solution.
Do you wear contact lenses? sm

I had giant cell papilloma on the inside of my lid once from my lens.  Not painful, occasionally itchy, but really not bothersome.  Doc told me to stop wearing the lenses a few weeks, maybe gave me drops (happened a long time ago), and the condition resolved. 


Hope you heal soon, whatever it is. 


OMG...That makes my eyes water just looking at it. And I DON'T wear contacts. nm

RX lenses
I don't know why not. I've used old frames I really liked to have new Rx lens put into them. I'll bet they look cool! Good luck.
Thanks. I see much better with my lenses than my glasses for sure. I will try that with the
Boston.  I used that on them also.  It is very bad pollen time around here right now.  My car is covered in it. 
Can you put Rx lenses into Burberry sunglasses?
No, I can't afford them, but my daughter is trading them to me for her plane ticket I paid for.  I need new shades but can't see worth a hoot without rx lenses.  What do ya'll think, will my plan work? 
The itching..arg
The itching comes and goes. I have to give her a bath at least once a week with moisturizing/soothing shampoo and she's off all wheat except for what the kids sneak her.

Dog training went great and we have her getting along with my neighbor's dog and one of my siblings dogs.

We're working on a third dog but that dog has issues that need to be worked on too. We have that dog on a head halter type thing but we're getting it a basket muzzle for any walking we do.

The eyes are cleared up. She's on glucosamine for her bum knee which seems to be helping. If she would just stop jumping over the back fence, it would probably be all better. She likes to jump over, steal the other dog's toys and then jump back over to our yard.

She and the cats are getting along fine, unless Lucy the cat decides to walk on Lily. Lily gets VERY upset when Lucy does that. Lucy is a bit of a moron so I think Lily better just get used to it lol
You did not say why itching?
Because of the arthritis or ?

Just wanted to know if anyone out there has had a problem with a itching back.  I am not nuts so don't even think that.  I have had this problem for years and have tried allergy meds, changed clothes detergent, used moisturizers and today took a Valium. But, nothing seems to work. Any recommendations?  Thanks a lot, before the white-coats come to get me.


Thanks for your help. I am still itching! NM

When I had one, I had intense itching, but
no burning. Regarding sex, everything is rubbed everywhere, so I guess an infection could end up there.
itching burning sm
It's a very embarrassing subject, had to bring it up with two docs. Both ignored it.  I ended up diagnosing myself, it was a pain med I was on, stopped when I discontinued. Had them after pregnancy, used hot baths, then hemorrhoidal ointment. Sometimes the hot baths will dry the skin, thus the itching. Bubble baths are also VERY bad for both the anal and genital area. Don't blame your husband yet, could be an allergy to something, i.e. new laundry soap, etc. Good luck with it.
not sure but an MD told me that a lot of body itching

and the product he ordered for me and my daughter was something like Exelon shampoo (prescription but I may be misspelling it) - it's the same ingredient as what is in Selsun Blue which can be bought over the counter.


Hope she feels better too........we when through this when my daughter was a teen..........


What the women wear or don't wear is not the
issue here. They can wear what they want. The issue is what is actually going on in the compound and the laws that are being broken.
SIL's dog had horrible itching problem and vet found thyroid problem...
low, I think, and put the dog on thyroid medication and he is doing much better now.
Contact
the attorney general in your area. You should not be responsible for these charges. You are a victim - not the bad guy. Find a new phone company if this one will not work with you to resolve this. Good luck!
I would contact them...
and talk it over. Banks and finance companies will say that the worst thing to do (in most cases) is file bankrupcy right away without talking it over with them first because they do want thier money. The majority of places will try to work with you. Been in those shoes. I consolidated mine, took me a little longer to pay it off but it was easier to pay 1 amount than all 3 and not cringe each time the phone rang. Had one card that said. Okay pay this amount for 3 months with no late fees (virtually nothing)and then pick up from there. I will live to regret that I'm sure but it helped me out at the time. Sometimes you can call and ask to skip a payment. They tack it on the end and charge you but if it helps it helps. You will sometimes find that if you ask a loan company for a "consolidation loan" they will say they don't do those. Instead give the amount for payoff of total bills or darn near it and try to go from there. I think the best thing is to explain your situation to them and ask for options or ideas or at least try to.
Maybe you should contact your vet
and ask if anything unusual happened (not that they would tell you a horror story if it did), but maybe something small happened to trigger it that they would recall.

Aside from that they might have come across this type of thing and know of some ways to sooth the puppy.

Your son doesn't have anything on him that a dog might smell and freak out about, does he?

This will sound corny, but maybe your son could think of something really sad and lie on the floor crying. Maybe the puppy would see his vulnerablility and empathize with him and lose fear.


Probably not but maybe they'd contact them to be on the show! ; )

I would say either try a contact person where the
contact may be someone in the Social Services for your state.  Maybe even the Division of Child Welfare.  I would look in the phonebook under government agencies.  I bet a social worker may be able to help or guide you in the right direction.  I knew someone who had a child with cerebral palsy that took the insurance offered from the employer, but was able to get Medicaid for the child as a supplement for things the primary did not cover.  I am not sure if this is state-by-state though.  Hope this helps.  Good luck to you and your daughter as her children do need health insurance. 
Maybe you should contact the company...
nm
I would contact you doctor.
.
Definitely contact your doctor sm

You didn't mention where on your back the mole was, but particularly if it was on your upper back near your neck,  I would be concerned about the swollen and tender lymph nodes.


Regardless, you need to talk to your doctor. The lymph nodes could even be a completely separate issue, but it is definitely a sign that there is a problem.


Good luck!


it's better for us not to have contact with people like that
stay away from her, don't comment much to family members about it, eventually they'll get used to the way things are now.
Contact your local ACO....

Call your local animal control officer, or if you don't know the contact info for them, the police should.  It's their job to calmly address the situation.  It's not fair to you to listen to this poor animal all day long.  I would also mention that you fear for not only the animals safety, but also your own.  I'm sure it is on record anyway from the prior incident but wouldn't hurt to bring it up again.  I would definitely not approach the people one-on-one, especially given their past behavior. 


I'm sorry you're going through this. 


I would contact a hospice...
My grandmother just passed away, and for her last week she was at a local hospice.  They were so wonderful and caring there and really helped us all deal with her dying.  Even if your mom doesn't go to hospice care (which I highly recommend when she is very close), I would call a hospice and ask them for recommendations for grief counseling.  I can't say enough about how wonderful they were, and they really helped my mother deal with the loss of her mother.  They also provided morphine so we could rest assured she was not in pain once she wasn't able to communicate any longer.  I am sorry that you are losing your mother.  I am sure it is difficult at any age.
I would contact everyone on the IEP team (sm)
and let them know you are not being informed as you should be. Also, if they cannot handle it at your school, then he could be transferred to another school (at his current school's expense; they would also have to provide transporation). You do have a lot of rights here, and this is federally mandated, not state. Good luck.
Maybe try limiting contact to

just phone calls.  That will let her know that you are cooling off the visitation with her but not make you look ungrateful.  If she brings up never seeing the children, I would let her know politely that you thought she didn't care to have them visit since they always seem to "act up" at her house.  If DH wants to see her DH, then let him visit him alone.  Is there a close neighbor or friend that could keep your girls while you visit your aunt once in a while?  I take it she lives nearby if your boss has contact with her.  If she asks why you didn't bring the children, again - say that you thought it would be better for her if you didn't bring them anymore since their behavior doesn't meet her standards.  She should get the hint pretty quickly.


I definitely agree with you that she should not be pushing her discipline methods on you.  You are the parent and only you and DH should have any say in how you choose to discipline your children and whether or not they even need it.  I will say from experience that the previous generation seems to think we don't know how to handle our kids.  I think a lot of that has to do with the state this country is in, but I don't believe it falls directly on our shoulders.  Afterall, our kids weren't even born when things started to go downhill.  Maybe it's all the hairbrushes and flyswatters that are causing some of these problems.


It is already from a safe contact
I can open all mail, but where pics should be (and were before hotmail changed the look) are just boxes. It isn't just from one contact, but from all my contacts that I used to receive pics from. Now what? I sent an email to the contact site, but they have not answered me yet.
Contact Ebay again.
It may just be delayed shipping with all the holiday rush. I haven't shipped anything this year but in the past the post office has told me they don't guarantee the same as normal.
sort of still keep in contact, but
They didn't go to HS with me. One I've known since probably 1978 when I was 8 and she was 6 and we were visiting here on vacation, then my family moved here and she and I have been BF since 1985...only keep in touch by email and occasional phone calls.

My other one I've known since 1995 and we're in touch by email too.

Our lives are just too complicated and too far apart by distance to really see eachother, but we can catch up instantly with eachother even if it has been a while
If you live in HOA, can you not contact
the president of the association. You do not have to give your name, just tell them the address or name of the offenders and the association should take care of this for you. I also am in association and the rules here are no animals are suppose to run loose in the neighborhood. If I see an animal loose, I figure probably is lost.
Can you contact someone for advice?...sm
It's a potato uprising, I tell you.  Seriously, sorry you got hurt.  Can you talk to a pharmacist?  How about a nurse help line, maybe through a hospital or insurance company?  I hope you heal soon. 
You need to contact the supreme Court
Florida tried to make sacrificing animals illegal but were overturned by the Supreme Court in 1993 for interfering with religious practices.
Use of emergency contact info

You know how when you go to the dentist office, enroll your child in day care, fill out a job application, everyone wants contact information "in case of emergency."  Maybe I'm different from everyone else, but I consider an emergency as defined by my falling to the floor clutching my chest while my lips turn blue and I can't talk, or falling down 5 flights of steps, or being hit by a car...you get the idea.


I no longer have a good relationship with my mother (75) because she is getting senile.  I can't trust that anything she knows about me won't make the gossip curcuit as the truth or something totally different, plus she wants to die on her own property without anyone else another and be found days later by some unknown stranger who notices her body out in the yard...so I don't visit, either.  Last time I visited, her whole face was black and blue because she had passed out and fallen face down on a concrete pad where she stayed until the next day when she was finally able to stand up and go inside, then hide from the world for almost a month...I happened to visit her within a week of it happening.  I don't want to be the one who finds her dead on another visit. 


The reason this is important is because of a legal situation that I am in totally unrelated to her and I have a gag order on me...and she can't talk to me without taking "no" for an answer when she quizzes me about it, which she will do every single time we talk.  So, I've just had to say, have a nice life, love you, let instructions to my sister to call me if anyone needs me.


Now it comes back to those old applications I filled out.  My phone number changed and my dentist used my mother's "emergency" contact information to try to reach me, going into great detail the nature of why they were calling.  It was just my 6 months cleaning, but I didn't even schedule it because I was moving and changing jobs and couldn't predict if I could keep an appointment 6 months in the future.  So my mother calls my ex-husband, my ex-mother-in-law, trying to reach me for this "emergency".  My ex-hubby called me.


This is so embarrasing to me.  If someone dies, let my sister call me.  I don't know what to do or how else to get across to her that she doesn't have the right to interfere in my affairs.  The dentist office made the first wrong, and her trying to "save" me was the next one.  I'm almost 50 years old and I think I can take care of myself, thank you very much.  I let the dentist office have it with both barrels.  That was abuse of a reason to call my mother as an "emergency" and they have taken her info out of their system.  I have even had to change physicians because my mother and I had the same primary care, and all my visits were relayed to her by the staff..."oh, your daughter looked so good when she was here last week!", which prompts a phone call to my ex-hubby.  ARRRGH!!  Violation of HIPAA!


Does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with this?  I'm almost at the point of having a lawyer draft a letter to her.  I'm past the point of feeling bad about hurting her feelings as she shows no consideration for mine. 


If you are serious contact the seller/bank- sm
and make an offer. How low they will go depends on how long they have been trying to sell, what they have invested in it. IF the previous owners owed a lot on it, the bank will probably still want fair market value. Years ago I thought about buy the house next door to my parents (about 3500 sq ft with a huge 2 car garage and an old pool that either needed to be filled in or total destroyed and redone), I went through it with the relator. The house was about 30 years old then, the previous owners and their 6 kids had basically destroyed it, burned/scratched up hardwood floors, broken doors, windows, etc. the kitchen was original from 1964 as were the bathrooms, etc. It needed lots of work, a new roof, you name it, it needed it. The bank would not take less than $200K-- I was not willing to spend that kind of money on a house that needed at least $100K worth of work on it. They eventually got some sucker to pay it though; and boy did they spend some cash on it. Looks great now and work about $400K at least, but they probably spent that much to fix it and buy it. --- one note of caution when you buy a forecloser though, I believe previous owner has a year to reclaim the property-- if they show up with back payments in hand, etc. they can take the house back from you, improvements and all and you do not get a penny back. So be subtle in your home improvements or wait a year to do anything major.
contact Anderson Cooper at CNN...nm

Have had no contact with sister for 5 years

5 years free of hysterical calls at all hours that go on for hours, crazy accusations, death threats, trying to turn other relatives against me, her demanding praise for the tiniest things and putting me down every chance she gets, cops at my door if she gets a scratch on her car because "I must have done it because I'm stalking her".


Nope, don't miss her at all.


You contact first the seller on ebay
and then ebay directly if it is not resolved.
You should contact animal control
Leaving a dog tied up like that and barking incessantly is abuse for one thing. Surely there is some kind of animal control or even the police you could report to?
Did you have contact with your friend after her diagnosis?

I ask because if she was your friend and you knew she had pancreatic cancer, why wouldn't you know her husband left her?  I would imagine if a friend of mine was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, I would visit her and call her up until she passed.  I would probably know if her husband left her.


Just curious. 


I still think you should contact your police dept...

Have you ever had trouble with your
bones just aching and thought something else and come to find out you did not have enough calcium and once supplemented, the pain stopped? Has anyone been so deficient in calcium that this actually happened? Thanks.
Trouble is.

That I think they believe her that they cannot do anything without her.  I think she just loves to bully.  It gives her some sort of power or something.  I think that is why she kept insisting she look after my kids while I work.  Normally I am a submissive type that is a target for bullys but when it comes to my precious girls, I draw the line. I have become better and taking up for myself and especially my babies.   She had some ugly things to say about me too from what I understand when I told her no that the girls and I were happy with the child care they were receiving at the daycare.


I have been wondering, if I called the CPS if they would make the parents put the children in a regular daycare or something better then what they are getting.  She still feeds that 2 year-old and insists that the DIL still feed that 2 yo baby food because Aunt does not want and is not going to cook.  DH told me that when I left the room that she told the little boy that he was going to get a dose of Tylenol because she needed to get some sleep.  It is a shame that she treats him like he is a burden. 


The only way you could get in trouble with the IRS sm
Is if that person worked ONLY for you. A lot of people try to pass their full-time housekeepers off as IC because they don't want to bother with the taxes. Those are the people who get into trouble. That person is an employee, not an IC. But if they work for other people as well, they are an IC and responsible for their own taxes.
If you have that much trouble trying to....
communicate when you're trying to buy something off her, imagine how bad it will be if there are problems later and you are unhappy with the product. I would just go to some other place.
I'm not sure I want to know what trouble that may be LOL - NM

The Asian people I come in contact with are quite friendly with SM
good senses of humor.

I'm trying to be tactful, but you may be the one sending the wrong vibe.
one way to find out, don't contact him, see how long it takes
maybe he does not want to hurt your feelings by saying helikes to hear from you; however, he is not contacting you, so stop contacting him and you'll get your answer.
I am basing this on personal experience. They did not contact me
unless I was doing something wrong when I started, both as an MT and QA. I only recieved feedback when i was in error.
No outside contact & children and women taught
