Eye Observations

1.) dizziness 2.) Eye pain accompanies headache  3.) Iridescence when not in pain

As I wrote earlier, during this past week I had a couple of days with strong left eye pain.  One of the days I was working of course.  That whole day I noticed that my eyes were not keeping pace with me if I moved too fast, making me dizzy for just a second. Example,when I sit on my stool performing my little treatments I am sometimes having to flip back and forth from the person then back to the sink or cupboard all the while quickly rotating on my little stool.  I was aware I was moving to quickly. Then walking around the salon, a couple times, I moved my head too fast and felt that my eyes were not tracking correctly - little delayed.  I laughed with the girls about being a dizzy blonde that day.

Also, frequently when the pain is strong, I have a head ache that encompasses the entire left side of my head.
My other thing  I noted is that when I'm not in pain ( Like the week I discovered Frankincense) I could see iridescent colors again.  One day it was very apparent.  It was everywhere!  It was on my phone of course, then, street signs.  SO many street signs had an iridescent shine to them.  Then, same day, as I walked across the parking lot at work, the same one I always walk, there was one particular large oil spot that was all iridescent.   At first I thought it was because it was sunny and had been cloudy before.  But I don't think so this week It's been sunny every day, but I'm in more pain,  no iridescence this week.  Am I making all of this up?

My brother

My eye didn't hurt today and no frankincense. Although I may put a little on before I go to sleep tonight just for fun.  No meds today either.
I did have some comedic relief spending the evening with my brother and his wife on Skype.  We ended up visiting for 3.5 hours and singing. Yes, singing.  You had to be there.  But who knew you could have so much fun with a little web cam and a little red wine.

Breakfast of Champions

So my left eye was in actual pain last night and this morning.  I would rate it at a 6 today. So I took 3 ibuprofen with my coffee this morning which I know my stomach hates. But Stomach is low on priority list today.  1.5 hours later as I am to head out to work.  I had to take 3 more.  I had no time for this pain today.  Then it went away til now (7:15p.m.)  It just was so flared up. Even stings in the corner right by my nose.  Now it's calm.

Palpebrae Levator Fissure

It's official.  Frankincense stings the eye lids.  I was doing pretty well the last few days not too much pain. But if I leave the house with out my Frankincense - I end up regretting it.  I put some on my eye lid this morning just as a precautionary. Then after 7:30p.m. while I was in a meeting it got kinda crazy.  And of course we're talking about the  non operated eye.  So here I am at 10:30 and my eye actually is causing pain so I put my Frankincense on.  It just goes away. Isn't that kind of amazing?  Except it stings my eye lid now. As an eye Dr. would say I have contact dermatitis of my left superior palpebrae levator fissure.  Doctors! You got a love em.
