What can I expect from this watery eye?
Mar 14^th, 2009 at 11:45pm

last night was only the third PF night i have had since january 29th. today my left eye has really been watery and has hurt a lot. i am rather new to this CH stuff since this is only my second cycle and i was wondering if this is a sign i'm gonna be hit again tonight. all my hits come between 2am and 3:45am. except when i take a nap during the day. can anyone give me any insight into what i can expect?

I never really know for sure what to expect. Have you tried an energy drink to knock it out? Sometimes that works for me. May your night be PF! Jeannie

Watery eyes are hit and miss. Some get the red eye, droopy lid and runny nose when they're going to get hit. Others get them with hits or shadows, some get phantom hits where all they get is the red eye and droopy lid with no pain.

Hoping that's the route you're going. Have your weapons at the ready just in case! Wink

Speaking only from my own experience, there may be little that's predictive about your watery eye.

It's a secondary autonomic symptom. It may or may not be associated with an impending attack.

During a cycle, I may get a watery eye, a stiff neck, a runny nose, or forehead sweating without getting an actual attack. On the other hand, none of this may happen before an attack--only to show up when the attack is in progress.

Everything's out of whack during a cycle. I hate it. A lot.

The way our symptoms manifest can be highly individual. After a while, you'll get a sense of what constitutes "normal" (as if anything is normal about this) for you.

Wishing you the best, and hoping that your cycle is soon over.

George

thanks for the speedy replies. i am contemplating not even going to bed and i suppose you know what that is like. i have the droopy eyelid also and i drank some strong highly caffeinated venezuelan coffee. i have my weapons ready if i need them. i hate the nightime but i rarely get over two hits a night so i am fortunate in that respect. the ones i do get are "nice" ones though. thanks again for your replies and maybe i can get more comfortable with these things if that if that is possible. i have had 2 total knee replacements and i have 8 pins in my shoulder but that does not compare to one of these suckers.

I do, but unfortunately that doesn't help, sometimes it will cause a stronger hit, due to being sleep deprived and over sleeping past the point of no return in which the abortives won't be much help.

Try to live your life as normal as possible, take it one hit at a time, always be prepared, and always try to remember, it will DEFINATELY go away, that I will promise Wink

well i did go to bed and an hour and half later i had a big hit which lasted 40 minutes. after going back to bed i had another hit 2 hours later which was no quite as bad but still was terrible. i am so tired and exhausted today. i almost fell asleep at church this morning. i suppose the watery eye was a precursor for me.

Reply #8 - Mar 15^th, 2009 at 4:11pm Hello, my eye runs like a river right before the pain hits hard. It contuines all the way through the Ch but it is the 1st thing to leave when the hit is ending so after the eye drys up i know its almost over. Best wishes, Coach Bill

Strange things that come with CH huh?

My left eye has constantly stayed more "wet" than my left this cycle, and I normally have very dry eyes due to contacts.

I've had no hits in several days...just a clogged left ear and watery eye. and a little tingling cluster side of my head. Feels like I'm on allergy meds......?

Don't stress or scare yourself into a hit. Try to relax.....i cant believe i just said that with a straight face.

My watery eye did lead to a BIG BIG HIT and now i think i talk myself into anxiety attacks. it scares the crap out of me to think about going to bed and having a hit. my eye has been basically water free today even though i was hit twice last night. i've had this one place even with the top of my ear and back about two inches that has been really sore since last wednesday. this didn't happen in my first cycle. i never know. these things are so unpredictable even though they are predictable. that sounds kinda strange but it's true. thanks for your insight.
