Question Title: MANY SYMPTOMS

I HAVE POSTED A FEW OTHER TIMES. I HAVE BEEN HAVING SYMPTOMS FOR 4 MONTHS NOW AND CAN NOT STAND IT ANYMORE. THEY ARE RUINING MY LIFE. FIRST OFF, I AM 31 WEEKS PREGNANT WITH MY SECOND CHILD. IN THE BEGINNING OF MARCH 1999, I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BELLS PALSY ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY FACE WHICH RESOLVED ITSELF IN A MONTH. AT THE SAME TIME AS THE BELLS PALSY ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY FACE, MY LEFT EYELID BEGAN TO DROOP SLIGHTLY, THE ITCHING IN MY LEFT EYE IS SO UNBEARABLE THAT IT WAKES ME UP AT NIGHT. I USE PRESERVATIVE FREE ARTIFICIAL TEARS CONTINUOUSLY AND THEY DO NOT HELP. ALSO, I HAVE PAIN BEHIND MY LEFT EYE. ALSO, THE INSIDE OF MY LEFT EAR AND THE LEFT SIDE OF MY THROAT ITCH TERRIBLY. I WAS TOLD BY MY OPTHALMOLOGIST THAT I HAD SLK WHICH HE TREATED 3 TIMES WITH SILVER NITRATE. I HAVE BEEN TO ENT, DENTIST, NEURO-OPTH., ALLERGIST, AND NO ONE CAN HELP ME. I HAVE HAD A MRI WITHOUT CONTRAST ON MARCH 30, 1999 WHICH CAME BACK NORMAL. OH, I HAVE ALSO BEEN TO A NEUROLOGIST. COULD SOMETHING HAVE BEEN MISSED IN THE MRI? MY OB DOES NOT THINK THAT THIS HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE PG! MY LEFT EYE WAS A 6 ON THE SCHIRMER AND MY RIGHT EYE WAS A 9. CAN YOU OFFER ME ANY HELP? I AM WILLING TO DO ANYTHING AND GO ANYWHERE TO GET THE HELP THAT I NEED. CAN SLK CAUSE AN EYE TO BE UNBEARABLY ITCHY( THE BACK OF MY EYEBALL IS EXTREMELY ITCHY ALSO)? CAN SLK CAUSE AN EYE TO BE DRY? CAN SLK CAUSE AN EYELID TO DROOP SLIGHTLY? PLEASE DIRECT ME TO SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP ME. I AM ONLY 25 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER TO RAISE WHO NEEDS ME AND A BABY COMING IN A FEW WEEKS. I DESPERATELY HAVE TO FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. I AM VERY SCARED.THANK YOU.

Without examining you, I cannot give any further information.

You should see a cornea specialist in your area for the SLK and possibly a neuro-ophthalmologist for the Bells Palsy and Droopy lid. The best way to find these people is to go to the nearest university affiliated academic ophthalmology department. If you are in the Detroit area, you can call 8003637575 if you are interested in seeing a Henry Ford Ophthalmologist.
