My eye
Ok, so I have an eye thing. I constantly think there's something in my eye. This morning I woke up with the puffiest allergic eyes every. Then, as of an hour ago, I'm convinced I have a worm in my eye socket because i've got these creepy crawly feeling. It sounds funny, but I'd rather there WAS actually a worm in my eye because then I wouldn't be crazy.

Thank goodness I haven't been to west africa lately :)
In my opinion, it's clearly a case of medstudentitis! I'd suggest you become obsessed with another ailment tout de suite -- it's probably the only way to cure the current one. That, or take the Benylin formulation.
Dr. F
(I may be the other kind of doctor, but I have seen many a case of higher-education induced health concerns. If it turns out you really have a serious eye problem, I apologize in advance. Once I told a friend who thought she had shingles that there was no way she did at her age. So what did she have? Shingles. My bad. Good thing she got to her doctor in time for meds that somehow lessen the severity of shingles if they're taken in time.)
That indeed is a correct diagnosis Dr. F! I was actually having spasms of the muscles in my eyelid (mullers or tarsals anyone?) which were making me feel like I had Loa Loa (thanks for the pictures nathan). Medstudentitis comes in my shapes and sizes - I feel that I should probably contract something neurological soon though because our neuro unit is going to be over in a few short weeks! (Or long weeks if you feel the same way I do about neurology).
