I have been using the salt-c for 15 weeks and it is working for me.

I DO have a lot of itchy problems with my eys. My left eye mostly. I have had a twitch in this eye for the past 20 years. Long before I got diagnosed with LD. So maybe I have had lyme that long.

Well any way, I have had a stye on the lower lid. Then that went away. Then one inside the upper lid and that went away. Now I got half the lower lid swelling up.

I have been using rue-fennel eye wash as my doc said to try. I get the saline solution warm and then put the rue-fennel in the eye cup with the warm solution and let the alcohol burn off for 5 minutes.

I am also using a warm salt water wash with an eye cup.

Anybody else having this problem?

Where do you get saline solution and what's rue fennel?

Hi JOhn--I've had awful red, itchy, scaley eye lids for a long while now since getting Lyme. I'm not sure if it's Lyme, parasites, allergies or what--it comes and goes but it's just awful. I haven't had styes though...I hope you're finding relief!!

Talk to you soon,

Ash [Wink]

Hi Ashley,

My itchy eyes started after 8 weeks on the salt-C.

Thanks,

John

That's interesting because when I was doing an anti-fungal, antiparasitic with my candida cleanse i used to the itchy eyes too--my nutritionist said it could be parasite die-off, which it could be in your case too... [Eek!]
