After you get this disease, good days are when you don’t wake up in pain

I always know as soon as spring has started because I wake up with throbbing eye pain.

March is in four days, I live where it gets warm quicker. Surely enough this morning I woke up and sneezed nine times, eyes bloodshot, feeling like death.

The fact that dry eye is incurable, just about managing your symptoms and a life sentence of some days being better and then you have a cycle of pain- I don’t understand how I could ever be a morning person when the first thing I experience is pain when I wake up.

I’m trying to not be upset about all the people that get to experience life without eye problems, but it’s hard feeling like life didn’t pick me out to have a bad hand.

Anyway, I’m over here enjoying all allergy season with dry eyes, doing my hot compress and thinking about how I’m just unlucky. Maybe one day I’ll enjoy spring
