[lizzyfizzy]

i just called the md's office. hopefully they will just call some drops in stat. better to be paranoid than sorry, i always say.


AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

i'm freaking out on the inside real bad.

[Linz]

oh no! pink eye sucks! I managed to avoid it for my first 31 yrs and then somehow got it THREE times this year. :blink: what's up with that?! it went away pretty quickly though and thanks to obsessive hand washing no one else caught it. I still don't know where *I* caught it though.

ugh, hope it's nothing. tons of good thoughts for your poor eyes!

[lizzyfizzy]

for reals. this is me. it's bad. real bad.

[crecia27]

OH NO! I've heard breast milk will make it go away - does that help? LOL

[lizzyfizzy]

my little sister has breast milk!!! should she squirt it directly into my eyes?!?!

:huh::blink::unsure::p

no for real...i'll do it.

[melmos75]

Glossy eyes, irritated, not feeling right - aren't those signs of being high?? J/K!!

Really hoping that it's not pink eye. There are some over the counter drops that will treat some forms of this. If I were you, I would run to get some and start using right away to see if you could ward it off.

I would! I heard it really works! I guess it depends on whether you have viral or bacterial conjunctivitis. If it's viral, it will just have to run it's course (have you recently had a cold?). Bacterial usually crusts over continuously, whereas viral is only like that in the morning. Get well soon!

[Tracyfish]

Oh Fizz...I just had that a few weeks ago...PIA because I had to wear my glasses instead of contacts. Hope you get it to go away quickly. My sis is an optician and brought me some drops from work and it knocked it out within a few days.

[Linz]

yep... should help as long as it's not bacterial. well, it'll still help with symptoms either way -- just won't cure it if it's not viral.

maybe mix it with breastmilk for maximum benefit. :blink:

[Paula]

Yucka Fizz!!

[lizzyfizzy]

Glossy eyes, irritated, not feeling right - aren't those signs of being high??

i really pray i'm high. please God...let me be high. high in the clouds away from germs.

:D:D:D:D

i'm out of control.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

[lizzyfizzy]

i think that just helps with the symptoms, doesn't kill the bacteria. at this point i am leaning twords an irritation or viral pink eye for sure.

i just downed a mass of organic vitamin c. come on natural anti-bodies.

[Becca Bonneville]

Oh no! I hope it isn't! I would def get some drops going just in case!

[Linz]

i think that just helps with the symptoms, doesn't kill the bacteria.
you just said what I posted in a less confusing way. :D if it's bacterial, you need prescription drops. if it's viral, it'll run it's course but you can use the OTC drops to help with the symptoms.

I really need to stop trying to make sense when I have a 3yr old shrieking in the background. :p

oye. i need to lock this out for good. do they sell eye covers to protect from all germs? ask your sister.

[jessica31876]

Just so you know conjunctivitus is not always contagious and not always caused by a virus/bacteria infection. It could be allergies or a pollutant/irritant. It is very painful though and not something Id want to have but my son has had it several times and I got into an argument with the school nurse over it because she said it is ALWAYS caused by an infection and I printed several articles about it from the internet to show her that it is simply an inflamation of the lining of the eye which is sometimes caused by an infection. Anyhow just wanted to tell you think so you know even if it is diagnosed as pink eye it may not be an infection...it might simply be allergies or an irritant. Hope you feel better soon too!!! Try those drops from the drug store. They work great. I have used them myself and used them for my son and he even said they made it feel alot better til we could get him to the dr.

LOL!!! :D

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! my eyes.

oh wait they are feeling better.

nope, jk. irritated again.

oooo...a little better...no. yes. :huh:

[lizzyfizzy]

yes. i'm praying that's what i have. i don't really care that i get it, just as long as it's not contagious.

[schock77]

ha ha ha! Girl you crack me up! Go to drsears.com - I go there for medical advice about the kids and they had good info about pink eye. :)

Fingers crossed it clears up for you!

[meems]

hope it's not pink eye.

did anyone fart on your pillow with a naked butt?

[lizzyfizzy]

did anyone fart on your pillow with a naked butt?

hmmm. yes. :mellow: quite possibly.

[meems]

hmmm. yes. :mellow: quite possibly.Have you ever seen Knocked Up?

[Kat Stokes]

Jenny, would you please go over and smack your BFF and tell her it will be all right. She is not dying.... :blink:


And Fizz, whatever it is, I hope it goes away soon!!!

[rach3975]

Feel better soon!

[my4boys]

Aww, Sorry Lizzy...I hope it goes away fast whatever it is!!!

[~Julie~]

{{Hugs}} Lizzy. I hope its not pink eye!

[CA Dreamer]

I hope it is not pink eye! I just popped in to check the forums and now, my eyes feel funny! Sympathy pains, I guess! My eyes were irritated once and it ended up that my eyeshadow was the culprit. It was contaminated.

[tuneskids]

Polysporin Ear/Eye drops!!

[Jennilyn]

Both of my girls have mild pink eye right now and I just keep giving them the drops hoping it'll go away by Christmas morning!

I hope it goes away soon if that's what it is Lizz!

[kscwgirl]

Hope it goes away soon Fizz!!!!!!!

Probably though you should stop looking at a computer screen. That might help the whole irritation factor.

[lizzyfizzy]

Have you ever seen Knocked Up?

no i haven't. i need to, but haven't.

i thought you knew of some stinky fart eye bacteria that was going around.

[Laura_A]

WHAT is going on with everyone lately! NO pink eye for you Fizz.

[lizzyfizzy]

Jenny, would you please go over and smack your BFF and tell her it will be all right. She is not dying.... :blink:

she can't snap me out of mass hysteria!!! it's impossible!!! i'm dead set on being dramatic about pink eye!!!

[Jennifer]

Lizzy, I've had pink eye tons of times while teaching...several times a year. You need some good drops (or I prefer the cream) and it should be better pretty much overnight. Did your Dr. call back???

I'm sorry you're freaking...((hugs)) butdon'ttouchmeIdon'twanttheeyecrud.

[Nonna2Dreja]

Oh Lizzy, I hope it is not pink eye....Any time of the year it is no fun to have, but especially around the Holidays....

[Kat Stokes]

she can't snap me out of mass hysteria!!! it's impossible!!! i'm dead set on being dramatic about pink eye!!!

Well, it was at least worth a try.... I really hope it does get better quickly though.

[meems]

no i haven't. i need to, but haven't.

i thought you knew of some stinky fart eye bacteria that was going around.watch the movie . . . then you will understand. and maybe have a chuckle.

[lizzyfizzy]

ya, i called the doc, they called me back. they have some really potent samples of something at their front desk waiting for me. i'm gonna pick em up 'just in case'.

p.s. my eyes feel 95% normal now.

i think it was:

lack of sleep
contact wearing
+ crying this morning

You truly are a nut..... :p

[scarletsierra]

LOLOLOLOL!! Sooooo was going to say that!


So happy your eyes are feeling better!!

[iJenny]

Jenny, would you please go over and smack your BFF and tell her it will be all right. She is not dying.... :blink:


And Fizz, whatever it is, I hope it goes away soon!!!

I totally would, *but* I'm just as insane about pink eye as Liz is. Even more maybe since we've battled it TWICE in the last six months.

So, if I were to go over to Liz's right now, you'd see two of those crazy running guys that Annie keeps posting. lol






Liz, hope its not pink eye. But if it is, remember that I love you and that I don't want to have contact with you for 4-6 days... :p

[SaraAmarie]

I just had pink eye a week and a half ago. It sucked but I am a firm believer in natural remedies so I used Colloidal Silver. It works awesomely!!!! I woke up with it in one eye, used the Colloidal Silver a few times that day (along with washing my hands practically every 5 minutes! lol) and woke up with it pretty much gone. The next day I woke up with it in the other eye, used the Silver and the next day it was pretty much gone. I was amazed at how well it worked!! I used it in my girls' eyes too as a preventative and thankfully they didn't get it!

[meems]

LOLOLOLOL!! Sooooo was going to say that!yay, someone understands me!

[meems]

sooooo . . . . possibly . . . . Lizzy is a . . . . . hypochondriac?

[lovely1m]

Oh, yuck! I hope thats not it.

[pbumbaca]

OK I don't mean to laugh but you said you would squirt your sisters breast milk in your eye! I am rolling!

Sorry Lizzy, I shouldn't laugh, I hope your eyes feel better soon!

[SirScrapalot]

Oh Fizz...this could have been me posting b/c I am deathly afraid of pink eye and the stomach bug....seriously like freaking out, cracked out paranoid.


BTW...I have had it before when there was gunk in my eyes, but not red...they told me it was a cold that moved into my eyes. So basically, it was boogers. Gross.

[SamaraGugler]

I once had pink eye SOOOOOO bad that I missed a week of work, seriously!!!!

I went in and got drops and the drops made it WORSE. I called the doc to tell him and his response was, give it time. THe next day I couldn't open my eyes they were so swollen. I called again, he said give it time. I told him HELL no and that I'd be in his office when he returned from lunch. Turns out on top of pink eye, I had an allergic reaction to the drops!!!!!

Ohhh, the joys of working with germ carrying little snot rockets. :)

This totally happened to my 3-year-old last month!! He had a really bad sinus infection that backed up into his eyes. I thought the same thing! Ewww.... Boogers in his eyes!! lol

P.S. I think most people in the education system are deathly afraid of pink eye. Its worse than lice, I swear!! lol

[emilyscout]

Oh no, I hope they feel better ASAP!!!!!

[lizzyfizzy]

just looking at this thread again is making my eyes burn....LOL!!! :D:D:D:D

:blink:

i promise that other than pink eye, lice and bed bugs i am totally NOT a hypochondriac.

so...

i ended up paying $45 for a prescription. i totally did not end up having it.

LOL!!!!

paranoia is expensive.

p.s. ewwww....at boogers in eyes.
