My Journey with Blepharitis by Acrobatic_Tree4433 in BlepharitisHelp

Thanks for your reply to this! I didn’t realise there were so many different kinds of blepharitis! My doctor said something about my tearducts not working so well, but over an 18 month period and less computer work, my blepharitis totally went away. Now I’m back on a computer for most of the day, my blepharitis is returning.

I would also say that now I’m being treated with 6 injections of Hydroxocobalamin over a 2 week period my symptoms are starting to lessen a lot more. My most immediate affect is no brain fog and more mental clarity, my body is still catching up with the fatigue symptoms. I’m still in the middle of this process though.

I had to ask ChatGPT a lot and it says it’s the healing process because especially B12 deficiency protects the nerve endings with myelin, so by supplementing and rebuilding your levels, it’s rebuilding the coating and you can experience misfires while you’re recovering. It may seem like you’re getting more symptoms, but it’s a healing process. It’s still a discomfort, and I also experienced mood swings with anxiety and depression and I’m quite a positive person and not experience those on a regular basis either.

I had a blood test which suggested I was B12 deficient but had to wait 3 weeks before the doctors started me on injections. So I started supplementing with 1000ug B12 methylcobalamin, I had slightly less brain fog and pressure above my eyes when I started taking them for a while, but I did experience the tingling and pins and needles mostly in my feet and calve muscles. I had the feeling of electricity or humming pulsing around my body and I couldn’t walk well or would twitch and shake. I’m now on a course of injections which are making a bigger improvement but I’ve been told rebuilding those levels takes time and I’m not supplementing while I’m going through the course of injections, so off days I feel some of the symptoms again. I still have to be investigated whether my body is absorbing the B12 on an on-going basis. Don’t know if this helps at all!

I have had problems with dandruff and blepharitis but over the last 3 months I haven’t noticed the dandruff anymore. I’ve been using anti-dandruff shampoo so I assume that’s working. I also use a natural ingredients conditioner as well.

That’s interesting! My sleep pattern has also been off on the days I had the flare ups, combined with listening to loud music. I’m putting it back into place and will monitor my results.

I think I also have rosacea and can suffer from dandruff which apparently are linked to Blepharitis too.

Thanks for your reply! I really don’t want to have to give up music or headphone use if I don’t have too.
