Very itchy eyes....



The past 2 weeks for me have been crummy. My last weekend to work I woke up and my right eye was itching. I thought it was just allergies as usual. So, I got up and came into work. Blah. Got here and it was very busy. About break time I noticed that my eye seems to be getting worse. I had to put drops in them about 2 or 3 times an hour (yeah I know your not suppose to do that). I had Ai with me that day because Jeremy had to work at a EMS convention or something like that. So, at luch time I decided to go to Walmart with Ali and then go get something to eat. My eye at this time was starting to ooooozzze. Gross. In the back of my mind I thought I could possibly have pink eye. The day before there was a kid that came in with very red eyes. Yeah apparently this kids had pink eye. So, ok Iam atWalmart looking in the eye drops section to see if there is somehting else I can take. I wasn't really sure If I had pink eye, bc my eyes were not swollen at all. But, I still have this thought in the ack of my head....more like a fear that I had pink eye. So I see this stuff that is OTC for pink eye. It'called Simiasan Pink eye relief. Just for the record....It's dosen't work.
Within the hour my eye was wrose and I was certain I had the pink eye. Or as Jeremy calls it....the stink eye. Thanks to the movie, Knocked Up". The guys in that movie all get pink eye bc one guy farts on the other guys pillow. ...the stink eye.
Ok so I had to go to the doctor and pay a $30 co-pay just to get a $23 bottle of antiobiotics for my eye. $53.00 pinkeye...now that sucks. So I go home and needless to say I don't go into work to following day, Sunday. My co-worker were thankful. I couldn't have seen how to drive anyway. My eye was swollen shut. The dr. told me to put drops in both eyes to keep it from spreading. So, I did. I was better and returned to work on Tuesday. I also went to work on Wednesday. However, Thursday morning, I woke up around....oh..... 1 a.m and my left eye was swollen. GREAT. Freakin wonderful. But, It wasn't that bad. The swelling had mostly gone down by that afternoon and I went to work the next day. I went through a whole bottle of hand sanitizer too. !

Well, I was very excited to see a new post! But I have to say, that description of your battle with pink eye was even worse than I imagined it was! Yuck!!! Too bad it's not like chicken pox where, once you've had it, you'll never get it again!

It made my eyes hurt to read about your pinkeye experience. Hope you are on the mend so that we can go to lunch sometime soon. Anne

I dont think I have ever had pink eye as an adult. It sounds painful! At least you did not give it to your kids.

well they did end up getting it. However it was a week later and brandon got it from his friend that was sent home the same day he was. I suppose. Oh and now my husband has a slight case of it.
