Just today it feels like I have a bruise on one spot on my eyeball. Has anybody had this? How did it resolve? What do you think caused it?

I have some hunches on what triggered this, but I'm finding it a bit disturbing.

Up for bejoy.

Not sure about the pressure type thing, but DH is having severe blurry vision problems. You ever have that?

Severe eye discomforts are usually a sign of Bartonella right?

Went to the eye duck today. Sorry, he was actually quite good, but I am rough on physicians with questionable bedside manner.

He warned me to use protection if I have extramarital affairs. Thanks.

He says no glaucoma. No pressure inside the eye. No problems at all. Just "autoimmune scleritis," "like arthritis of the eye." Thanks again. He put me on steroid drops.

Standard of care, but since this condition doesn't seem to be dangerous to my vision, I don't think I'll take them.

Glad to know I don't have glaucoma. Don't know what is actually causing this, but have no indication of Bartonella.

Probably it's just mystery inflammation because I am coming off of my Cortef a bit too fast. I bet it's related to an allergy.

If the bruise on your eyeball is in the back, then it sounds like a "cluster" headache.

Type of migraine.
