Well the following day i felt like something was in my eye & the worst was yesterday - I woke up feeling (& looking!) as if I were punched in the eye. My eye felt goopy & just generally painful & annoying. Perfect for my crazy day ahead... I got proactive & started hot moist compresses. Which marginally helped. By 1:00, I was hurting so much I couldn't function & felt like I had a wool sweater in my eye. I broke down & went to walgreens. As far as stye treatment, my options were limited to "stye" & the walgreens brand equivalent & the similasan. I decided on the latter since the other options are basically lubricants.<br />Immediately the wool sweater feeling subsided. A HUGE plus for me since it was causing me to want to rub my eye & repeatedly blink. Which HURT. BAD.<br />I was able to start functioning better, thankfully. Did all the running around & craziness of football carpool & get home. More drops followed by really hot compress. Still lots of hurt, but it's feeling better. Repeated the same right before bed. Woke up this morning with pain that went from a 15 on a scale of 0-10, down to about a 1. However, my eye was crusted over, once I got it cleaned up, it's still a bit swollen, but it's not even a fraction as painful!<br />My other eye started feeling itchy, so I put 2 drops in that one.<br />This stuff is a godsend. I'm sure the hot compresses helped, bit this stuff definitely speeded it along. It claims to help with the swelling/redness/tearing but I still had all thoes symptoms while using it up until this morning. The tearing was lessened but not significantly & the swelling is still there, but it's definitely healing & for that, I couldn't be more thankful. I'd have likely lost my mind if I were to deal with it for another few days.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00492216399891082495noreply@blogger.com
