Good golly. That is it alright. Didn’t know it had a name. It is nice to know there is someone else who as weird as I am. BJ-Sk. Canada "NW" <ninb…@MJAUyahoo.se> wrote in message

Hi Shelagh, Welcome to the group of the "weird." Isn’t it odd that you can have something like that accept it as just an oddity? It looks very charming too. <g> BJ-Sk. Canada "Shelagh" <tidering…@shaw.ca> wrote in message

Anyone had that, especially nodular episcleritis? It can be part of several autoimmune diseases (AS, Crohn’s, lupus, psoriatic arthritis, RA etc), as well as appear in healthy people, so it’s not clear why I got it. It scared the crap out of me though! I was removing my eye makeup the other day when I noticed the outer half of my right eye was red and had a jelly-like lump. I first thought I had wiped off the outer layer of my eye with the makeup remover, or that I maybe put in 2 contact lenses in the same eye in the morning. Good thing is it’s pretty benign, especially compared to scleritis and iritis/uveitis. It isn’t very painful either, just some minor pain. I don’t need any treatment, as it has improved already. Glad it wasn’t iritis. I was afraid it ‘d be that, since I have AS and the HLA-B27 marker. Nina
