Another Solution

omg,i was in a hotel and 2 days later i began with the symptoms. the only problem with that theory is no one else got it from the hotel. hmmmm    they did allow pets as well.

i was thinking mites,because my glands are ok and if it were staph,i think i would have puss,who knows going to the best dr in area monday,we will see

That is one theory we need to be checking thoroughly.  You may be more susceptible or your friends symptoms have not appeared.  How long ago was the hotel visit? Perhaps a hotel towel or pillow may have been affected.  I think we need to keep this string alive and start adding up the apparent or possible causes.  How is your sclap...Itchy or any lumps or sores?  We've got to start somewhere!  How is your overall health?  It doesn't appear that age matters.

avey,i started a thread called common triggers,how was yours started?

Susan, I'm  willing to go along with anything to solve this problem of what initiated blepharitis.  To me though a trigger is not the cause.  You are right triggers are a good start. How do I read your post on triggers. Will other people be able to respond to the site?

I don't know exactly what my new trigger is but it could be eye pencil of a few days ago. It could also be a new type of glow powder bought at Earl's Court.  This reminded me that when I was in the ME. there was make-up made from Dead Sea materials and I read a report that stated even though the Dead Sea was consdered dead it was not dead and there were tiny microscopic organisms living in it. We were told it was not best to use cosmetics.  Also in the Dead Sea we can see the moving areas of darker materials.  Then it brings me to what about the 'natural powders' or powders from nature which could contain something else.  

So, then what are causes and what are triggers going back to my earlier post.  I know that I have extreme dry eye which makes dry rooms and climes making me more susceptible to any exacerbations.

Other people may have other ideas of cause and of triggers.  Much to be looked at and surely some or al possibly known or even disqualified.  Can you help here?  That's why I though of some type of question and answer form.

Thanks Susan

I too find Cliradex very strong....stings badly.  Haven't used it long enough to know if its working or not. Onlly been about a week.  Still crusty in the morning and I get the white strings too.  I will use Cliradex as they are expensive but if no better will try the Sterilid cleanser.  Does it come in cream or in a wipe ?
