Guest guest Posted August 23, 2000 Report Share Posted August 23, 2000 Hello, Six weeks ago I was dx with rosacea. My main complaint at the time of the appointment was the intense itching of my eye and cheek. Well dr gave me Tetracycline and told me to come back in 6 weeks. I went today and the dr said how are you doing and I said " terrible " . I told him I thought the small " pimples " were getting better but the " itching " was still unbearable. He said, " what itching, does your face itch? " (I felt like saying, no these big red, swollen places on my face and eye are just here to look like I've been in a wreck) Anyway by then I'm getting mad so I asked him about my eye. It's swollen, red, itches, and gets blurry. He called it some big medical garble and when I asked him to explain he said that by rubbing my eye I have made it itch!! That if he rubbed his eye it would send signals to the brain that it needs to itch!! When I go blind I will see if he thinks that is in my head too!! He also told me that washing my eye with something like baby shampoo and my finger or wash cloth would make it WORSE. All this was said to me from about 6 feet away. Help!! Tell me if he is at all right. This is all new to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
