Guest guest Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 I didn't start having this symptom until about 2 years ago. I didn't experience it even during the 2 worst years, 8 years ago, so I don't know what to make of it. Often it's just one eye, the same eye, but occasionally it's both. It actually drains like tears flowing down my cheek, and happens most often 1) when sleeping or 2) when I've just gotten on my mtn. bike -- it starts in the first minute or two or riding. It will last 10 min. into my ride then stop. I am wondering if it's a liver thing, something I get when my liver is overwhelmed. I have noticed before that I get this on night that I've had an allergy hit earlier in the day (unknowingly) but I have no signs of food allergy right now and haven't added any new foods. And that it happens with exercise tells me it might just be a result of any challenge to the liver. And the liver sort of " cleans house " while we sleep so that sort of fits too. Maybe milk thistle would help? I started the low sal diet several days ago and have been feeling great, and have been doing something physical every day since. I played tennis yesterday, basketball both days before and a bike ride - - no dripping then. Today I felt like I needed to take a day off from exercise, felt really tired at six and as I was falling my sleep I had " tears " rolling out both eyes down my cheeks. What is this about? I know that it usually takes me some time, after not being active, to sort of clear out everything that's settled in my soft-tissues, just like someone who hasn't worked out for a long time will feel nauseated their first few work-outs. I would also notice this would happen more when biking when my period was approaching. So that too suggests a connection to toxicity levels as we do detox during our periods. Stagnant liver? That's my best guess. Does anyone else experience this? My gut is saying " milk thistle! " I think I was reacting to the malted barley in Grape Nuts the last two weeks, treated myself (NAET) for that yesterday and haven't had any since that treatment. I would think the tearing would have happened during those two weeks rather than the day after I cut it out of the diet and treated for it. I guess that alone tells me it's not literally about the allergy. It happens when the liver is swamped, for any reason. Why it didn't happen during my two worst years when my liver was more swamped than it's ever been, after the unsafe amalgam removals, I don't know.
