Whenever I'm stressed out, here comes a stye. I finally found out why I've been sick for 15 years: I have Fibromyalgia, so I'm wondering if that has something to do with the styes. I've had them pop up every so often and had to get one lanced. I think the one I have now will have to be lanced, too, as I've had it for a month now and it won't go away. It is embarrassing; someone always feels the need to point it out, as if I didn't know it was there. I'd love to find a way to not get one, but until then, I've resolved to the idea that they are here to pop up whenever they choose. Published: September 10 ::

I recently went to the eye doctor for a stye that has persisted since July. I think it is making me physically ill. The eye doctor said to use the compresses because this forces the white blood cells to the infected area. You must be persistent. He also prescribed a small dose of doxycycline. As painful and frustrating as they are, I have lived with them my whole life, and I’m 44 now. Ask your doctor about the right treatment. If you feel you are not getting the treatment you need, go elsewhere. Published: September 10 ::

In a span of eight months, I have gotten five styes. It’s really painful and irritating. Applying a warm cloth really provides relief. Published: November 18 ::

I have a stye once again on the same eye lid. I get them every so often when I’m stressed out. This is the worst one I have ever had as they usually go away after a day or two. Now I’ve had this one for 5 days and it is getting worse! It hurts when I blink and it is making me snappy with work mates and family. I had one lanced before at the eye hospital in Oxford. Let’s hope they can do it again to this one. This is not a nice experience though - Very painful! Published: November 18 ::

I still have it. I used some old eyeliner of mine about three days ago (At least that is what I am blaming) And I don't really wash off eye makeup, I just let it fade away. The outer corner of my right eye began to hurt a lot the next day and burned very slightly (like when you rub your eye too much/too hard and for a few seconds after it hurts a little) - only it didn't go away and it was a pain over most of my eye. Towards the evening I would have a headache (Styes put pressure on your eye and can cause headaches) about three days later, my eyelid is now a little swollen, the Sty is right about the corner on my eye on the under part the eye lid. If I push on it lightly I can feel a harder part of my eye lid that is the sty. It has not blurred my vision at all but I hear it can. It hurts to blink, at first it only hurt to blink really hard, but now it hurts all the time. The headaches felt like sinus headaches to me. Published: October 06 ::

I've had my Stye for 4 days now. I've been using the Stye drops. They sell over the counter. They really don't help much. I hope it goes away soon. Published: November 20 ::
