Foreign body sensation in my Eye... GONE!!!

Ok! This was the true test for me and upper cervical chiropractic care. I want to shout from the roof tops how happy I am! Every late winter/early spring since 2005 I have had the weirdest and most painful experience. It starts out with a little tingle in my eye on day one then by day two I have full blown irritated eyes. It gets so bad that I can't even open my eyes. Once I try to open them my eyes start to pulsate and tear rapidly. It feels like I have gravel underneath my eye lids. My vision goes completely blurry and I see halos around all lights. This was frightening and would last for about 2 weeks and repeat at least once during the months of January-May. It also didn't matter where I was located. The first time it ever happened was when I was in California and then all other times have been while I was living in Utah or California.

I thought it was a seasonal thing, may be a allergy thing? I went to several specialists and had them witness right before the doctor's eyes this pulsating freak of nature reaction. None of them could figure out the problem. It kind of seemed like dry eye, but my tear tests came back perfectly. What is up with me having crazy symptoms, but no logical cause?!?!?

Well it is April 1st and I don't want to jinx myself, but I have had NO reactions whatsoever!!!! I am so thrilled! I remember bookmarking this article that talks about foreign body sensation a couple of years ago. It's interesting I just re-read the opening paragraph which states, "The sensation that something is in the eye commonly brings people to the ophthalmologist. This is referred to as a "foreign body sensation", as if a foreign object were scratching the eye. Usually this sensation originates from the cornea, which is the clear part of the eye through which we see. The cornea has a large number of nerve fibers that are normally covered by a lining. If this lining is breached, the sensation that something is in the eye results, whether or not anything is actually there."

Notice it talks about "nerve fibers" in the cornea! I bet 10 million dollars because my central nervous system is working at it's prime that it was able to able fix whatever was damaging those nerve fibers. I am not great at describing technical/scientific information, but I know in my gut that getting my chiropractic adjustments from Dr. Jensen has fixed my eye problems!
