conjuntivitis sucks!

i hate this thing! out of no where last night my eye started to bug the hell out of me! it was driving me insaine! it felt like a litttle eye lash or cat hair or something small got caught in my eye i was doing everything i could to try to get it out, nothing worked so i just gave up went to bed, woke up with a blood shot eye, ring around my eye ara and swollen and had a bunch of disgusting crusty crap all over it and my eye itsself is also swollen and hard to keep open.

how i got it, no idea just out of no where, my mom says is contageous so i will probably have call in sick tomorrow i will have go today though.

this **** sucks

 

Sounds like bacterial pink eye. It usually goes away in a couple of days. Don't rub your eye and keep it irrigated well with artifical tears. Wash your hands often so it doesn't get spread to your other eye.

 

i think thats why its so bad i was rubbing my eye a lot yesterday to try make myself tear up and get the what i thought was then piece of cat hair out, then i woke up to a not so pretty site. Ill be going to the walkin after my first shift of work, hopefully it wont take forever, im glad to hear it goes away pretty quickly

 

Actually, you probably shouldnt go to work at all today. Pink eye is very contagious! Mostly it is just annoying, but you wouldnt want to infect any of your co-workers

 

I've worked with kids for half of my life. I've seen more conjuctivitis than you can shake a stick at. It's not terribly contagious for adults who are able to use eye drops and wash their hands often. (With kids, that's a different story altogether)

 

May be linked to your tank and touching the eye ! messed with any corals lately ?

Curt is correct my ex of many yrs was a 2nd grade teacher and man that was always on the radar little germ factories is what I called them LOL it was klling me LOL

 

i remember having that. annoying as can be. hadn't had it since i was wee little though.

wash your hands regularly like said and keep the eye flushed with some drops.

 

visine ;D

 

If it is bacterial you will probably need antibiotics. If it's viral it will clear up on it's own in a few days to a week. I had the viral type and got these homeopathic drops from the drugstore that worked wonders!! They helped ease the pain. Be careful so you don't spread it to your other eye!

 

conjunctivitis refers to anything that inflames the membrane on the eyeball... so like tangster said, it could be from messing with your corals yesterday or from bacteria or virus or from a chemical.
I had this one type of contact solution that really inflamed my eyes! it was weird but every time i would use this particular solution I was getting red eyes
