Lesser of the Evils?
Posted: 08-02-06 15:43pm

About 4 or 5 months ago I developed an eye twitch. I went to the eye doctor and he said twitching is usually a result of fatigue, stress and dryness. He proceeded to say I probably should try to get off the allergy meds.
At the time I was on zyrtec d, patonal eye drops, nasonex and had an inhaler. I've been getting allergy shots for almost a year. So I didn't think messing with my allergy meds was the right route.
I gave it some time hoping it would get better. In the mean time I had an allergy appointment. I told her what the eye doctor had said. So we tried cutting back on my meds. I was so congested I couldn't sleep. Next step was a ct scan thinking my sinuses were causing the new problem. The ct scan came back with minimal, which surprised me since I have sinus headaches all the time. There was a spot in my left sinus by my eye that might be the problem. So now i'm doing daily sinus washes and off all antihistimines except on shot day.
Since I haven't been taking antihistamines daily my scalp has been itching all the time. I have eczema.
Do I have to pick which is more annoying the eye or the itch? Can I expect results from the sinus wash and go back to where I was before? I've been having small reactions to my shots for a month. Is all this linked?
