My eyes burn. I don't think this is related to ALS, but I thought I'd ask if other PALS have this problem.
I first noticed this about mid September. At first my eyes burned when I rubbed them with my hands. I figured it might be a new allergy to soap. But I've tried other brands. Now I've noticed my eyes burn from shower water and rarely other times from nothing at all. My eyes will sometimes tear up, and that helps because wiping away the tears reduces the pain. Rubbing with a clean towel helps. A moist towel was a better prescription except now water is a new irritant.
This is disabling in that I blink so much I can't see, and also because the burning pain is intense.
My neurologist was unhelpful. Anyone else have or know about a problem like this?
