I have been struggling over the last week or so. I’m fed up. I’m grumpy. I want to be able to blink without my eyelids feeling like sandpaper. I’ve been to the doctors four times. One of the doctors used google to diagnose me. No, I’m not joking. I’ve tried upping my normal antihistamine, I’ve tried two types of antibiotic eye drops, I’ve tried different types of allergy eye drops, I’ve tried a strong antibiotic eye gel and I’ve tried antibiotic tablets. I’ve not worn my contact lenses and I’m most certainly not wearing any eye makeup therefore I’m miserable. And my eyelids are as scratchy and swollen as ever. It has lasted 7 weeks. I’m fed up! And I’m getting desperate for my eyes to get better in time for our trip to Venice in 13 days. I’ve been whining. A lot. And I hate feeling down and grumbley. But I’ve just not been able to get past my negativity these last few days. This morning I was finally referred to a specialist eye consultant and I’m hoping that he’ll be able to fix me. It’s costing me £180 to see him! Please tell me why I pay national insurance again? Right, rant over.
My lovely mother knows just how to make me feel better. She is taking me out on Sunday afternoon for some brand-spanking-new glasses, as I think it may be quite a while before I can wear contacts again! I’m excited!
I hope to be back on-form and mended very soon. With photos of course!

I'm sorry Friend!!!! I feel your pain....I had scratches on the "lens" of my eye a few years ago from wearing my contacts too long and sleeping in them. Everything was foggy, my eyes were dry/scratchy and I had to wear the specs for a few months. NOT FUN!!!
ReplyDeleteHopefully "the balls" will clear up soon and all this will be a distant memory you only think of when rockin out your awesome new specs!!!
I'm sorry your eyes aren't feeling well! Although I would suggest not seeing the "google" doctor again :) Hope the appointment goes well today...
ReplyDeleteoh yikes, I'm sorry! There's nothing worse than having eye problems!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get fixed up at the doctor's office! I'm sure you are truly miserable...how uncomfortable and sad! Can't believe the one doc "googled" your symptoms and let you know about that. What a goober! Wishing you lots of fast healing, my friend!
ReplyDeleteThis is no fun! I hope you find some super cute glasses!
ReplyDeletehugs hugs and more hugs! cannot wait to see the new specs!
ReplyDeletei know eye pain, and there isnt anything less pleasant. i hope you love your new specs!
ReplyDeleteYou poor thing! That is awful! I hope you get everything figured out soon. I've had one irritated eye on and off for a couple of days, so I feel your pain. But not nearly as badly! Hope you feel better... can't wait to see your new glasses!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry your eyes are bothering you. I went through that this fall and my Dad bought me new glasses so YAY for parents loving our eyes!!! I hope you feel better soon!!! XOXO
ReplyDeleteI totally feel your pain! My eyes were bothering me for months before I finally found an eye doctor to fix the situation; she diagnosed me with cronic dry eye and installed little plastic plugs in the bottom tear ducts to help keep moisture in my eyes. She also gave me a prescription for Restasis and told me to take fish oil vitamins. All of those things have worked and I haven't had to wear my glasses for 3 months! I HATE wearing my glasses!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!!
