SPONTANEOUS BLACK EYE REALLY

Hi Everyone!
 
For my readers who don't FB I posted this earlier. This is just so crazy!!! thanks again lupus.
Also seems like there is a rush on MRIs and I can't get in until the 12th I am on the list for cancelations so please pray for an opening so I can get in sooner. Thank you.
 
Friday afternoon I was stopped in my tracks by some enormous pressure in my head. It only lasted about 10 or 15 seconds but it was enough to make stop.
When it was gone I didn'...t think about it again until yesterday.
Friday night at about 10:30 I was trying to watch TV and noticed my eye was dropping more than normal. (I have ptosis in my left eye, part of why I stay away from the camera LOL) So I check it out an my top eyelid is red and swollen. I soak a bag of black tea and place it on my eye for a few minutes. Saturday morning I have a "bleed" in my eyelid. I watch it track all day and Sunday as well. It doesn't hurt or itch. I just have a black eye. Like someone punched me. I get into my doctor on Monday. He is perplexed. Takes photos of my eye and sends them off to another doctor. He tells me if it gets worse to call. Well it got worse. I was sent to my ophthalmologist as an emergency on Tuesday. My eye ball is healthy but he is not happy about the spontaneous black eye. Then I remember the pressure in my head. I am now going for an MRI on my brain and "orbits" plus he has me set up for a huge amount of blood work.
It would be nice to have normal things go wrong. Well it would be nice to have nothing go wrong. Would love to get rid of lupus and all it brings with it. Just to be healthy again. gggeeesss

I started taking photos of my eye right away, yah know in the bathroom mirror so here are a few.

OMGosh, so sorry you are going through this. My husband has RA, COPD and High blood pressure. He has had serious RA since '76 and every day he says he cannot remember what it is like to feel good. I hope your latest episode is not serious.

Wow! I hope it's nothing serious. I had a friend who would get bad migraines and end up with a spontaneous black eye at the end. It always seemed scary to me, but it seemed "normal" to her. Hope you get it figured out! xo Silke
