    Hello Wendy dont give up....does it feel like it is your eye socket? If so I get that too but I never noticed that it was around my period time. Thinking back though thats when mine happens too! Im sure it is another peri symptom....because I never had this before peri. Hang in there we will get through this. Take care!

    I did have and still do somedays. My whole eye hurts even after a good night sleep and no straining. But eye feels strained. It does go to my head a little bit. One eye does not hurt more than the other but it is almost never for both eyes to hurt at the same time. It is distressing. I asked my mom what it could be- she is an optician. She said tired eyes maybe but I know it is not that since I have it even in the morning. It hurts in the back. Not like dry eyes but more like muscle strain at the back ot the eyes. It comes and goes. I don't know what causes itsad hope u feel better soon

      Yes, I get this - I also get like shadows when watching TV (especialy the news with the crawl on the bottom) If watching TV I glance at the wall and still see the TV on he wall - drives me crazy.  Went to eye doctor/neurologist - he looked at me like I was crazy - said I had moderate dry eye and that I should put eye drops in my eyes every hour when using a computer.  I feel so much better knowing someone else has this.  I just figured it was part of my anxiety, which has now won!!  I am now a guest in my own anxiety...

      I also get dry eyes because my eyes itch sometimes. I have lots of floaters too. Hope it is all normal. I have not yet discovered anything about that eye pain. I will share if I do discover more. For me it does come and go. I still just hope it stops coming back.

    Hi Wendy

    I get that also around the time of my period..

    It's been going on and off for the past 4 years I'm used to it nowsmile

    Also I get bad dry eyes at times and the past few months I start suffering with dry mouth and throat and a nasal drip in the back of my throat and have the need to clear my throat constantly ! I notice that happens when I'm very anxious..

    I feel giving up but everyone keeps saying will get betterbiggrin

      I had really bad dry throat to a point that my entire throat was raw.  I also was clearing my throat all the time and had bad post nasal drip. Went to ENT & Gastro doctor.  They both said it could be reflux and the nasal drip was the body trying to cool off the throat - I took Zantac for a couple of weeks and cleared it up.  Either that or they both thought I was nuts and just said to take Zantac to shut me up....  I was so bad and going to the ENT so often and crying to him that he told me that he wasn't my therapist.   Feel better....
