Default Pink eye

Not cool.

Cleaned grain bins last sunday, allergies started acting up. Sore throat all week, coughing, and then friday morning I wake up to my eyes being matted shut. Finally got them rubbed out, went to take my morning ****, got done, went to admire myself in the mirror( )...HOLY ****!!! My eyes looked like i'd smoke about a half pound of wacky weed. This sucks. This is my last weekend off for awhile and i'm contagious as hell

UGH, the last time I got pink eye I developed keraconjunctivitis. It fugged me up big time. Doc said like 1 out of 100,000 that get pink eye get kera-c. It almost...ALMOST made me insane. Seriously you'll need valium or something, it feels like sand in the eye ALL the time for about 6 months. Good news is you get bottles and bottles of steroids to dump in your eye, bad news is it takes mutherfuggin forever to get rid of.

I feel for ya, but at least it's just ONLY conjunctivitis. LMAO...now we gotta teach you not to stick your stinky finger in your eye and you'll be okay.

well went to the doc this morning. got some eye drops...1-2 drops 4 times daily for five days...if its not doing better by tuesday he wants me to come back. my eyes don't hurt, they don't itch...just a little(very minor) burn/sting. and they're not quite as red so hopefully this won't last long

Bill...why because I make a post called pink eye would you assume its dirty??
