My background: Sensitive nervous system for 10 yrs, MCS, maybe chronic Lyme or related infection, probably leaky gut, long term adrenal fatigue & recent (Nov '13) adrenal burnout-
I’m currently working on eliminating candida and slowly beginning methylation via low dose methylfolate/B12.

My current flare up is that I’m having eye problems, very watery, cornea kind of smaller than usual, very irritated by the outside cold/wind, losing some eyelashes : ( sometimes there is random strong burning/watering for about a minute (about once a day this happens), a little redness overall but not like pink eye.
When I wake up there is gunk in the cornea areas, light yellowish and some black (gross I know, sorry).
Please let me know if you’ve found remedies that helped you with problems like these!!! Or know what they are associated with! I am going to my doctor Monday, but he doesn’t have much in depth knowledge of my ongoing conditions.

What I am taking:
Methylfolate 400mcg/day
B12 5000mg/day
Zinc I keep forgetting to take but trying to remember to take 20mg/day
Sometimes a spoonful of food grade diatomaceous earth in water
Vitamins A,D,B complex, C, multivitamins.
Olive leaf, MSM, Omegas, CoQ10 & other natural supplements that are anti-bacterial/anti-fungal/anti-parasitic

Thank you so much!!

It sounds like fairly normal conjunctivitis, nasty, but should clear up with antibiotic cream stuff. It can taste a bit nasty when it goes down the back of your throat.
I hope so, and that it's nothing more serious than that. good luck.
