Susan,

My eyes watered like crazy, non-stop, and it drove me crazy. When I got home from work I immediatly put a wash cloth over my eyes, and I felt so much pressure behind my eyes. I tried everything; eye drops, natural tears, and claritin. I don't know that anything worked for it. And I had 1 eye that would twitch every now and then. After my very last treatment I ended up with some anti biotic drops for my eyes because I woke up and one eye was all swollen and yucky. I was afraid they would never stop watering, but not too long after they sure did!!!

I never lost all of my eyebrow's or eye lashes, and I figured I would have because I lost my hair on my head on day 16 after the first treatment. They may be a little thinner, but I never lost them.
