What is the best method of getting rid of a chalazion on my eyelid that has persisted for over 6 months? I initially treated it with hot water and a cloth, which seemed to split the lump, but now I have a portion close to my eyelid and more bumps near the eyelid crease. Is there a home cure?

I have extreme amounts of painful gas after eating every day. It won't pass naturally and I have to force it out. My digestive system seems to be malfunctioning, even though I grind my food. I have a long history of heroin and methadone use but have been clean for many months. I am currently taking 4mg of Suboxone. Acupuncture provides temporary relief. I have health insurance but it takes weeks to see a specialist. I have had numerous tests, including a CAT scan, which showed nothing dramatic. I feel like I'm dying every day and am close to giving up. Can you help me?
