Vents anyone?

Double pinkeye. Double ☹️ I have never had pink eye in my life, ds has had it many times and I have never caught it from him. Woke up this morning with a watery left eye and by the time I left work for urgent care, both eyes were red, gritty and goopy. Wtf! I have no idea where this came from. Ugh.

That sucks! I'm sorry. DH had double pink eye before and I told him it's because our Rottweiler used to put his butt on DHs pillow and fart. Haha I'm terrible.

[dizzycooks]

I've had double pink eye. So gross. hopefully the drops work fast!

[momin2013]

Mine is related, but not as bad. I'm frustrated that I've now had a cold for 11 days. I was sick for our whole vacation last week, and today is the first day that I think I'm slightly better.

Hope you got some drops and they start working fast, @itsbritt!

[cjcouple]

Oh no!! I hope you feel better @itsbritt and momin2013.

[cjcouple]

Mine is nothing bad, more annoying. My vacation starts tomorrow!! But DH and I still have not nailed down plans. My last vacation was last July....I am so ready to just chill out and have fun. We need to finalize things NOW!!!

Thanks everyone, they look a little better today but my right lid is swollen. I know I'm not supposed to use eye makeup but I couldn't go to work looking like Quasimodo so I used a little highlighter and a little touch of travel mascara that I will toss in 2 days so I don't frighten my coworkers 😂

minerswife17 that is hilarious! But now you got me wondering who has been putting their butt on my pillow 😳

momin2013 that is so frustrating! I had a stupid sore throat that lasted a month and into our mini vacation to legoland and I had to medicate the whole time to get through it. Then h had a horrible cough during our trip to Seattle and Portland and he still hasn't kicked it. Ughh hope you feel better.

Thanks!

My new vent is that just as DS and I getting ready this morning my DH called from the road to say he didn't feel well and was coming back home. As DS and I were about to leave he had come home, thrown up, and was lying in bed in rough shape. Sooooo that's what I get to look forward to when I get home today. Hopefully it was just a momentary thing and he's not catching what I have!!

In the spirit of physical ailments, I have hives? I have no idea why. They are making me crazy.

Ugh I hope it's just a few random ones and not a full outbreak. I get this occasionally and one good trick is to put an ice pack on them, it usually deflates them and helps with itching.

[nicolewi]

Sorry everyone about the infections and hives!
No particular vents today here, other than general tiredness. So I guess that's good!

[dizzycooks]

@itsbritt thanks. It's my entire body from my hair to my toes. I am getting some relief from prednisone, benedryl and hydrocortisone cream. I feel twitchy. It's awful. They thought it was a reaction to a medication I was on *last month*.

Oh man, how terrible, I do hope it clears up soon ☹️ I have been there and it's not fun!!!! And a medication from last month?? No wonder it's hard to tell where hives come from, geez. Sending non-itchy non-twitchy good vibes ❤️

[nicolewi]

I have a vent now. A mild vent. The neighbor's grandkids were here this weekend. We don't have other neighborhood kids around, so I thought it would be awesome....the kids would have people to play with! Oh my gosh. I have gotten like nothing done for 2 days b/c I have been supervising almost constantly and it was kind of exhausting! The neighbors are awesome and were out watching them, too, but it really took a lot of time. 

[dizzycooks]

Now I'm at urgent care bc my face is swollen and my throat is sore. I'm at my wits end. This sucks.

[jag01]

Dizzycooks, that sucks! Hopefully they can give you a shot of something to make them settle down.

[momin2013]

Jeesh, dizzycooks - hope they give you something that works quickly!

Omg I hope you feel better and get some relief!

[dizzycooks]

Epinephrine and higher strength prednisone shot and I'm at home again. Dh left for work and dd1 is at camp. The littles and I are going to the pharmacy soon to get Prilosec and Zyrtec. I'm still covered in hives, but theoretically things should settle down soon.they think it's all related to an antibiotic I was on last month.

[nicolewi]

dizzycooks, I hope the new meds work for you!

[lexus]

Yikes! Hope you are feeling well soon!

[dizzycooks]

These meds can go eff themselves. The side effects are horrific. I feel like a crazy person.

Oh no! How long do they want you to take them and are they helping the hives?

"Helping", but not curing. It's a 14 day taper dosage. The side effects are insane.

[nicolewi]

dizzycooks, another day down! Hope it's going better.
