dryness in eyes
Hello. I need help from a medical physician. I have epstein barr and have swollen lymph nodes and I believe that I am having some neurological problems being caused by the virus. It started with tingling and numbness in toes and fingers and has moved up. Today just all of a sudden my eyes started getting really dry and have been like that all day. I put some drops in both eyes and nothing it still feels the same extremely dry. I read somewhere that people can go blind in a few hours or days from optic neuritis? What should I do because no one believes me or knows what I am dealing with. I don't want to go blind so am I racing with the clock? Any help would be appreciated.

Whatever you have to do to get to see a neurologist, follow Dr. Hagan's advice--as in, right now: You may indeed be racing with the clock in a situation where hours can be tremendously important.
