I took everyone's advice and went on to the Dr. this morning......I have freaking PINK EYE!!!!!:rolleyes: :rolleyes: (Which I have come to believe means "you have something wrong with your eye, but we don't know what!")
He lifted up my eyelid (and just about got my fist in his nose) and said I had an infection there.
He put me on some drops every 30 minutes for the rest of today and then normal dose starting tomorrow. Gave me some Zyrtec for the swelling and suggested cold compresses.
I forgot to ask him about treating the other eye, but I think I will anyway since it's supposed to be contagious.
Thanks for all the advice. When I got up this morning and couldn't even open my eye, I knew it wasn't just gonna go away!
I thought this pretty much reserved for kids.....I guess I'd better start acting my age!!:D :D :D
