For the past week I got horribly sick with a bad case of conjunctivitis. I think I caught it in work so I stayed out sick with it for the past week. I went off to the GP complaining of the pain I had and the itching I was feeling. She gave some prescription eye drops and I thought great this should sort me out. Sadly I developed an allergy to the eye drops that the GP had prescribed to me. Maxitrol just did not agree with me whatsoever and shortly after dosing myself the eye swelled. Anyway here is what I learned from the whole experience.
Conjunctivitis - also known as pink eye, as you know it can be horribly contagious too..thankfully (touch wood), my kids did not get it and I am hoping it stays that way....we use separate towels, bed linen etc. Anyway, it has two stages - starts off as a bacterial infection - which is where my eye was at when I went to the GP initially...and then it can become a viral illness pretty quickly soon after.
I am posting this video up for anyone who has it right now as a way to hopefully help you...I hope my story won't scare anyone...but if I had known about garlic powder being a natural remedy before this hit me hard and virally I would have taken it. Here is the video and I hope it helps you if you are currently down with this nasty thing.
Anyway back to my story...
Sadly in my case, I started to feel v ill v rapidly with headaches and developed some really odd symptoms I never thought I would experience. A fever I had difficulty to shake with Paracetamol, flu-like symptoms - aches in the bottom of my back then, I was all congested in my nose and went to blow my nose...and law and behold, blood clots started coming out of my nose (scary!), I even coughed up blood (I don't smoke or drink) so that really freaked me out. This then spurred me to go straight into the hospital where I was put on a drip with steroids to clear me up. This seemed to work well and I had to cleanse my eye under the shower with hot water every day for relief and well my eye was sticking together with this gritty like stuff (that is when you are v contagious BTW) on waking up in the morning - not fun...so used Brolene ointment to soften it down and make my eyelid better - which had coincidentally become red raw and looked like badly drawn eyeliner...except it wasn't!
I then developed tonsillitis in my throat which they found out through a blood test - so really bad sore throat basically as the conjunctivitis was attacking my body virally. I was put onto Augmentin and they gave me penicillin through a second IV drip. The doctor told me this was a "viral syndrome" and I simply had to ride it out. I was not prepared for the next thing that happened. I was put in a cubicle behind triage in the ER room so was hearing all the stories coming in...when suddenly my eye bled onto the sheet!...I was like holy God...then the doctor came back and gave me a shot of steroids again which I had a reaction to and burned momentarily..he said not to be alarmed by this..I think this was the eye's way of healing but I was more worried to lose my sight so then I did an eye test and had blurred vision from the grit I could not for the life of me remove from the eyelashes...doctor said this would get better and thankfully it did. I was calling myself a minion to cheer my spirits up and nicknamed myself Scar Face lol...as I felt ugly as hell. I had the drugs don't work song on my phone as a ringtone which got a few laughs in the hospital...but yeah so off home I went and basically had to sleep it off. But I don't think you feel right for at least 2 weeks...its exhausting..and I was told I was simply run down so for anyone battling this right now. I hope you feel better. You will get your eye back - have hope!
Since St Patrick's Day is coming up this top has been put up for my American friends with kids. You can get this in a kid's t-shirt now and an adult hoodie :)
Happy St Patrick's Day to all my readers in advance. Here is the link and enjoy!
If you want to pull off the subtle look this Valentine's Day lol - finally you can get a t-shirt that is a real hoot lol :) there is owlways an organic t-shirt for that :D Okay apart from the cheese factor and the groans I still think it might be a nice look to wear for the day. Warning: I think this design only really works in black! :) Anyway its available here if you want it ladies and gentlemen!! Have a nice day!! :)
Given the fact I am Irish it would be wrong to not have a top on Valentine's Day without a claddagh ring type of symbol on it which I give full design credit and commission too its originators. So if you are brave enough to don this shirt in front of your man or other significant other on Valentine's Day you can now purchase it here hurrah.
I know I am a bit late saying this but Happy New Year from my blog. Okay so I am two weeks late saying it but hey I hope it still applies, right? :) you probably have noticed I have gone mad into designing tops lately. I think its just a wonderful outlet to show your creativity. I really don't care if any of my stuff sells or not. I just hope that people will be like yeah I might wear that top haha. The cool thing about making your own tops is you get to control the design and all that. Yeah I am liking that to a tee you might say lol :) So forgive me a little if my blog is starting to turn into an advertisement paradise! So to plug just that little bit more I am now going to post an Irish music band that I like called the Amazing Apples :) have a good day!! time really is flying huh!! Baby David is nearly 1 on 2nd Feb - and I just celebrated my 34th birthday hence being offline.
