bloodshot rt. eye this morn...?

[michelleislay]

hey guys, this just seems like something very small, but it has me a bit scared.
i just looked in the mirror and my rt. eye is bloodshot.  it's the side the tinnitus in my ear is on if that is at all relevant.
i didn't have any discharge, it doesn't itch or sting.  my head continues to feel awful from many weeks of vertigo.
should i be concerned about this??
anyone at their computers this early on a sunday morn?

I get a broken blood vessel in my left eye from time to time, the Dr thinks that some times I rub my during sleep & sometimes a sneeze has caused it.  I've had this  happen for years, I looks very nasty sometimes & the Dr does give me drops and it clears up in about a week or two.


Dr is sure it's not related to MS  or ON  in any way,   Because he can see the  broken blood vessel each time.

thanks a million lulu,

it's so nice to hear that my overactive mind may be just a natural process of trying to figure it all out and that i'm not entirely crazy for worrying about it!!  lol!

i think i may have an eye infection beginning or something...but i sure did take that deep breath and have calmed right down about it.

so appreciate your words lulu,

Michelle,
It is so difficult to put all those little blips on the radar out of our minds.  We pick up on everything, especially at first,  until we get a real handle on what this disease is doing in our bodies.

As for the bloodshot eyes- I suffer from them all the time.  I am blue-eyed and my eyes always have that look like I have overindulged.  I have even had people at work stop me and ask what was wrong with my eyes.  

Do I think this is related to the MS?  Not really, but if it is I'm sure someone here will let us know.

take care and take that deep breath!

thank you jan!

ok, deep breath, i can't believe how something simple like a bloodshot eye gets me wondering.  truly, this is not at all who i normally am!! lol!

  i think i need to calm right down and not fall into the trap of worrying about every little scratch, nick or bruise.  it just seems that an endless supply of new symptoms keep cropping up...it certainly is exhausting.
