4 weeks in Flucloxacillin prescribed

no by a doctor. Took 3 visits before antibiotics prescribed as it was just transferring from one eye to another.

certainly seeing a vast improvement 

The antibiotic prescribed for you is a fluroquinolone which caarries a black box warning.

 

Thank you

Hi again There are other less potent antibiotics thanthe fluoroquinoloeswhich are only recommended  to be prescibedfor life threatening infections.

As I only gave 2 days left it would make sense to finish the course.

Thnx

Sorry I have to disagree with your comments because of the known serious dangersof the fluoroquinolones.

However I respect your decision .

Thanks

Take care.

Judy, your input is precious. I am in menopause and Bleph is a curse.

Warm compresses give some relief but this is not enough. I use also Tea  tree oil and baby shampoo. Still its a lot of discomfort. Eye ointment by  SIMPLE is for eyelids or it is  used on the eye itself?

Hi Rita, yes just for eyelids not inside. I used Lacrilube for inner eye at night as it's thick. 

Thank you, Judy. How nice of you.

rita I have sent you a link to Lacrilube. Please be sure that you know what you are treating. I would check with your dr/optometrist/ophthalmologist that is is safe for you to use lacrilube and that you are not allergic to any of its constituents.

NB Fluoroquinolone antibioics are only supposed to be used in life threatening conditions due to their serious side effects.

Thank you Jane. I've seen  my ophtamologist today She prescribed doxycycline - antibiotic . Have anybody had luck with it? Please?

Hi again

I cannot tolerate doxycycline. It is very potent and am unsure why it has been prescribed.

Have you tried the heat eye masks they unbock the glands to enable the fluid to lubricate the eyes.

Have you googled Moorfields eye hospital to get the info on blepharitis ?

​You justhave to be verycareful about putting all these things in your eyes because at the end of the dayyou are introducing chemicls which contain preservatives which may aggravate the problem.

​The idea of putting any shampoo , wet wipes etc near ones eyes sounds so horrific.

 

Thank you Jane or your care. I have taken only two caps of Doxycycline but I live with fear that it will cause digestion complications. 

Thank you for  the link on Lacrilube, very helpful.

I Haven't researched Moorefield Hospital yet but I will for sure. I do 2 compresses a day regularly. I felt much better when I started to massage eyelids after the warm masks. Yet it seems not enough.

Today I managed to wear mascara for 2 hours only. That's a huge progress. But I use mascara very rarely because my eyelids are swollen. Blessing for you and this  site.

Jane, Doxycycline has been prescribed for the inflammation of our eyelids. I take it with food. I will stop taking it as soon  as I will feel complication with digestion.But I hope  this antibiotic will reduce eyelids inflammation.

Hi again

​Perhaps it is best to avoid mascara for a while. The black seems to be the most drying and irritating to ones eyes , the same applies to eye shadow.

I would never use the eye products especially when your eyelids are swollen.

 

Jane,

Thank you again.  I've been avoiding  mascara for a long time. To-day has been a special occasion. I said good bye to eyeliner for good.

I understand it is a nightmare at times.Do your eyes sting when you apply eye make up?

 

Jane,

I have found hypoallergennic FIBER mascara. IT's called Eye Booster by Physician Formula. I am in the US. I wear it very very rarely. For 2 hours only.I carry mascara removing liquid in my car to remove make up ASAP.
