Pink eye or eye infection

[kjohn12]

Question: if you thought you had an eye infection (feels like pink eye) would you go to the gym? My guess is no- since it can be highly contagious. However, I was just curious what others would do. I think I have it and it SUCKS. Haven't confirmed with an eye dr... As I'm not sure it's necessary quite yet.

Please don't go to the gym. Go to urgent care, ask for Moxeza if it is pink eye. Not contagious is 24 hours with that stuff instead of 3 days. Totally worth it.

No I haven't gone- stayed home this morning. However, my husband was (jokingly) giving me grief, saying I was making exercises to sleep in. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't overreacting.

He won't be joking when he has it tomorrow. We passed it around our family and then my workgroup at work, even while trying to avoid it. I apparently passed it on before my eye started showing signs.

No way.

I also worked from home the first day I had it too. I ended up having viral pink eye, so it didn't really matter, but I definitely didn't want to risk torturing anyone else with it.
