Episcleritis and Scleritis
Posted: Sun Mar 27, 2011 4:18 pmHi Everyone. I am a 31 year old female and have had episcleritis for going on 10 years. My eyes turn red and painful 1 to 2 times a month and it lasts for 2-3 days. Recently, I had an episode that was so aweful and terrible that I couldn't close my eyes or lay on that side of my face when sleeping or the pain would wake me up. When I saw my opthamologist, he said that it had progressed to scleritis.
My major problem is this, I have been to many, many doctors and eye doctors and the medical people say it's an eye problem and the eye people say its a medical problem. I have been tested for lots of stuff but nothing has shown up. Is this normal? I don't know if I can handle pain like that a couple of times a month for another 10 years. I am looking for suggestions. Thank you.
