i woke up in the middle of the night last night rubbing my eye because it felt like something was stuck in there. i tried every method i know to flush my eye out: pulling the upper lid over the bottom lid, sticking my eye under running water etc.. and nothing could seem to get it out. looking closer, i discovered that it was something on the inside of my upper eyelid, and not a foreign object but a little white dot.
the pain was so excruciating i was trying to think of ways to literally cut it out of my eye. seriously, it was driving me crazy; like a razor-sharp knife poking me in the eye every time i blinked or moved my eyeball even slightly (which is often). then i was debating whether i should wait till morning and try and see an optometrist or go to an emergency room.
i guess i finally fell asleep despite the pain, and it feels much better today. but, that sucked. now my gf tells me that it's just a sty.
anyone ever get this? |

No, but she did suck on a Jolly Rancher to freshen up her mouth afterwards. It was hot, her flipping that thing about in her mouth as she explained her whole pirate fetish to me. Damn!

Jesus, I love this forum.
Tartar, u roc.
Tre - gotta watch that herpes simplex migration. L-Lysine, sleep and lots of water will knock a cold sore out...
Floop - don't touch, soak regularly, take drugs. The ONLY thing that I would suggest (and some will disagree - saying I'm a retard (seeIQ post), but I used to get conjunctivitis (pink eye) alot when i was little cause I was such a face digging, nailbiting vervous little shit...my old man says "put some Neosporin in it!"...so, with some practice, I learned how to smear this viscous, vaseline like goo directly onto my eyeball at the first sign of conj-itis. Nipped it in the bud EVERY time. That shit rocks.
Now - TRUE - the label does say 'for external use only' (and may actually say "DON'T USE IN YOUR EYE, YOU IDIOT!") or whatever but pffffft! Labels schmabels! We're MEN! We do what works and for pinkeye, this DID work. I swar it.
So yeah - try some Neosporin - before sleep so you can keep your eye closed. It really isn't that hard to do and - frankly - it is rather soothing compared to the burning hell you're in right now. You won't go blind. If the sty is bacterial, this stuff will kill it....if it doesn't make it stronger.

Of course. When I went to the bar wearing that eye patch, I decided to go all out and put a parrot on my shoulder (stuffed of course), pulled my hand back into my shirt sleeve and put a hook there. I considered amputating my leg and having a peg leg put there since it would a) make the look more authentic and b) distract me from the pain in my eye, but at the last minute decided against it. I put a cheap little pirates hat from a costume store on (complete w/ skull and crossbones) and off to the bar I went
As I sat at the bar drinking rum straight, this incredibly hot girl who was tending bar:
started asking me all about the pirate get-up and started calling me Black Beard (on account of my scruffy one-week beard I had going at the time). And for as much fun as I was trying to have and as much rum as I chugged, that pain in my eye wouldn't go away, and I said, "Lady, look. I know this pirate outfit looks fun, but I'm not really feeling part of it. All I can focus on is this pain in my eye. I'm NOT eating, shitting, sleeping, fucking Black Beard." And she leans down and looks me in the eyes, and says, "Prove it."
Next thing I know, I'm in her car, banging away at her, and she's just moaning and groaning, and eventually starts shouting over and over, "Fuck me, Black Beard! Fuck me, Black Beard! Fuck me, Black Beard!"
I don't get laid out-of-the-blue like that very often. It was like a moment from a movie or something.

I don't know about having a sty, but I bitched a lot about knee surgery. Bitching and moaning isn't a negative personality trait of us men, it's a hobby. We can quit any time we want to. Really!

I'm quite embarassed by the sudden (obvious) sexual arousal I've experienced by reading this "sexy topic". Thank the dear lord you didn't bring up "ass boils" or I'd be scurrying for a tissue.

I am sure most of this is scare mongering, I have had sty's before but luckily always on the outside, I think you just got unlucky floop. Mine always went away by themselves
(actually just remembered my dad is an advocater of the wet tea bag (plain not fancy) on the eye. tannic acid in tea reduces bacterial spread and shrinks the sty, don't use posh tea like earl grey though as most contain bergamot which is a horrible irritant)
It sucks when your eye hurts, I had an ingrowing lash once that was painfull and had to be yanked out by tweezers and I'm trying to forget the time I splashed formaldehyde square into my eyes... eeech

Floop: Use real warm (just short of hot) water washcloth compresses on your eye for 10 minutes every couple hours. If the sty doesn't go away in a day or 2 go to the doctor to get it drained (not drugs), otherwise IT WILL HARDEN!! If this happens (called a Chalazium) the bump in your eyelid will be permanent, and can only be removed by surgery.
Eeewwww, bumpy eyelids... |

It sure is sensitive. I was able to "grab" it because it was on the very edge...that part where the lashes start coming out. You could see half of it without even touching the thing and it was very uncomfortable. You better get to the doctor, floop. They only give you a single pair of eyes.

I wouldn't trust myself as a pharmacist.
Actually, you should probably not drink alcohol, but lots of water. Not as fun, though.

i'm one step ahead of you on taht pfeffa. :) that is good advice though.
so ammiekh, let's back up a second here. did you say you're a pharmacist?  please email me privately.
just kidding. honestly though, are you saying i need drugs to reduce the sty, or for the pain. because the pain isn't as bad today. won't it go away on its own? |

As a pharmacist, I would say you don't necessarily have to wait 2 days, I was just trying to save you some money on the visit to the doc, hoping it will clear up on its own. I would, however, still recommend the drugs:) |

Posted - 07/06/2004 : 21:18:55
thank you ammiekh. no, i don't want to scratch my eyeball. i was in a lot of pain. but yeah, i'm sure that probably wasn't the best idea.
drugs sound good. do i have to wait 2 days? |
| ammiekh |
Posted - 07/06/2004 : 21:13:56
Hi floop, I am new, however, no more cotton. do you want to scratch your eyeball? I am very impressed with your inquisition, but, I think 2 more days and you ought to see the doc for some drugs. |

Why would you have vomited? You didn't try to eat it, did you? You really should only try that with eye worms, and make sure you chew 30 times just like mama told you.
