    Default Ewwww...

    And here I thought the nastiest part about being a stripper was constantly catching whatever cold was currently making the rounds. No, it gets better! I have conjunctivitus (pink eye). Ewww.

    My kids have never had it. So annoying... I can't see, it itches, is goopy and running and bright pink. Someone (any mommies here?) tell me how long before this clears up. I've worked with kids before who had it, so I know how to keep it from spreading but I don't recall how long it takes to heal.

    Oh Mistress of the goopy eye...
    Deanna said to get some anti-biotics and within 24 or so hours you should be non-contagious. It should clear up within 7 days withth e right anti biotic.

    Oh you poor thing! So sorry to hear.

    Anyway, it really depends on which kind you have...viral, alergic, or bacterial. http://www.stlukeseye.com/Conditions/Conjunctivitis.asp

    <cookie hands lillith a warm compress> :

    If you have seen an eye doctor you should get medication and feel better in a few days. Left untreated it takes about 3 weeks. Don&#039;t blame yourself of course...you come in close contact with a lot of people, and it is VERY contagious as you already know.

    Let cookie cheer you up.

    Damn. I&#039;m gonna miss work (unless the antibiotic also makes the goopy redness disappear?).

    *whine*

    It&#039;s a viral infection (which explains why I have the steriod drops instead of antibiotics... I was about to call the doc and bitch). Three weeks of this.

    *whine*

    By the way, that was the nastiest picture I have ever seen. My eye does NOT look like that. So gross.

    Sorry about the picture....I tried to get a site with the best info. Please forgive me. I wasn&#039;t trying to gross you our or anything.

    Like I said in another post, you&#039;re welcome to join me for a cup of coffee and political discussion. Its the best I can offer (other than the warm compress and some sympathy.)

    Oh Lilith it will clear well. I had the viral type too. Was put on Alrex. Just don&#039;t use these streroid drops for many many months, as one thing most docs. wont tell is the one major side effect is cataracts! that crops up years later of course, but still, who wants cataracts?

    Good luck, It will clear. And another tip, wash your eyes (both) with a warm water rinse evryday, before your drops. That helps keep puss or other airborn villians out while you heal. And a warm compress does wonders too!

    When I got pink eye, I wondered if I got it from the goggles at the tanning booth. if you tan and use their goggles, you should tell them you got pink eye and make sure they disinfect the goggles super good.

    My condolonces. Not to be naggy, but since you are using the keyboard on the computer, make sure no one else uses it. It is sooo easy to rub your eye then type.

    No one lives with me except the BF (and kids, but three year olds don&#039;t spend much time online) and he is out to sea.

    No, I don&#039;t tan. But thanks.

    Lillith, I am sure you know this but 3 year olds are very tactile and not Felix Ungers when it comes to hygeine. Did the doc say anything about how long the infectious stage preceeds the appearance of symptoms?

    You might want to change your name to "Viral Hooligan" for a few days.

    NO VISINE!! I had that before and used Visine, had to go to the opthamologist, because it became way way worse. The opthamologist gave me a big long lecture on the evils of Visine and explained that that is what made it so much worse.
    It hurts, I know, take care Lilith, good luck.
