   I am 26 years old and have had eoiscleritis for almost 3 years now. I came home from a vacation in mexico and thought I had pink eye. The pain was unbearable. I had gone to many doctors and no one could tell me what was wrong. Finally they told me I had Episcleritis and put me on the steriod drops ( which was a pain in the ass) It went away in a couple weeks. Then came back soon after I suffured with this on going thing for months. My doctor told me that I would have this forever. The last time I went was about 9 months ago he gave me a shot of steriods below my eye and since then I have had a flair up ( knock on wood). The headache I had to deal with were HORRIBLE I could not work I could leave my house! Sometimes I still get small headaches in the same area and I get so nervous that its coming back. It the worst feeling being scared all the time. Waking up with small headache and running to the mirror to see if my eye is red. I was wondering is anyone out there that it never came back?

   I HEAR YOU !!!!!

   I am 30 years old , male, no medication history in the past. I work as IT professional in US for 4 years. I relocate from TN to NC because of new job in Feb 2012.

   -Two weeks after reaching the new place, I realized that my LEFT eye has redness and didn't go away.

   - Go see the eye doctor and diagnosed as epicscleritis and TMF steroid eye drop then RIGHT eye started to get redness after using it for 3 days on LEFT eye

   - Stop the TMF eye drop since I have headache , and go see another eye doctor in a so-called top-tier medical center. Prednisolone Acetate steroid eye drop is prescribed as well as anti-virus pil & dilated eye drop

   - Done a bunch of blood test, urine test and Chest X-ray . Doctors said ruling out other possible disease is necessary !!!!

   - Now is mid May 2012, so far all the tests didn't come out any positive ( seems normal), but the condition of eyes is fluctuated up and down. Eye did get better after 2 weeks using the new doctor's medication, which gave me a lot of hope. However, it seems rebound effect showed up. Sever headache come back again.

   Does anyone has similar problem as me ? around age of 30, male, reason unknown ??
