I'm back



Albeit with a limited number of posts. I'm having a problem with one of my eyes which is causing a great deal of discomfort. I look like I've been punched in the face.

Thankfully, I'm no longer getting a searing pain every time I blink - it now feels like I constantly have a strong onion being peeled beneath it. Hopefully it will continue to improve.

Thanks Rene, D and Anonymous!

It's feeling a lot better this morning.

It's obviously still not right and is still uncomfortable, though it now itches more than anything.

I suppose I'll have to resist the temptation to scratch it!

Thanks Kay!

I couldn't get an appointment at the doctor's until next week, Elena and Lurker111.

So I didn't bother booking one.

Sounds really miserable, Kev. Hope you continue to heal.

Thank you Fred!

It's definitely a lot better than it was.

Sounds like the last time I had a stye that was on the inner edge of my lower eyelid. I'm not a doctor, but this worked a bit for me to ease the pain: Take an old sock, put in about a cup of dry uncooked rice and tie it off at the top; then microwave it for 30-45 seconds. Then place a damp washcloth over your closed eye and hold the warm rice sock over the eye for a while, adjust for it to be warm enough to be tolerable (e.g., let the rice bag cool if too hot). I did this 3-4 times a day, really helped me out! Heal quickly! KaraBoo in Ohio

Many thanks for the tip KaraBoo!

sounds horrible, hope it improves soon.
If you can get some eyebright herb from a whole foods shop, make a tea with hit and bathe the eye regularly.
I get pink jelly blisters in my left eye a lot and use that remedy

Just get an eye patch and parrot, then start posting like a Pirate.

Seriously, man, I hope you beat this quickly.

arbroath said...

Heh, cheers Bruce!

Is it pink eye? If it is, you're highly contagious. Get well soon, Arbroath.

Barbwire said...

I think you should make the appointment anyway, just in case. Hope you're feeling much better soon!

Thank you Anonymous, Barbwire and Anonymous!

Yes, you're probably right Barbwire, although thankfully my eye is now much better, albeit still not 100%.
