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? |

OUch. I hate pain like that. I got a chemical burn on my hands the other day at work, and they burned for 2 days. I took oatmeal, milk and honey and mixed it up and wore it like gloves. Now the skin is all peeling off, it sucks.
About the sty thing, sounds like you're just getting old to me dude, Floop =)
Hey Floop, I didn't know you got a new girlfriend, pray tell?

Whoa...dude..I don't want to creep you out or anything. But...it could be a small worm type parasite. They burrow through your body and are usually only detected when they crawl across your eye. No shitting you. Look into it, I forget what it's called..I'll try to find out for you...
Alright, so it's called the "Loa Loa" and it's in Africa. So unless you've been in Africa anytime..ever..I don't think you have it. Sorry to freak you out.

floop, maybe Visine will help? I'm sure it's not a parasite, unless you've been swimming in a lake in the Amazon...

Stys generally come about on the outside, under your eye lids, although painful they go after a few days provided no rubbing occurs and such. Either that or you have whats called 'tremors' only kevin bacon can help. He can be found kissing a generic lady in an inoportune(?) time. Somewhere. Oh man Im so drunk.

Floop, I got that story beat.
I once had what I thought was a stye: a slight protuberance poking my poor eyeball from the inside. It was very painful, as you describe. The more I looked at it, the more it looked like something else...
So I grabbed hold of it the best I could, gave a firm yet gentle little squeeze, and out popped a semi-clear, semi-circular, semi-hard little waxy deposit. Yes, it was a zit. I nearly vomited but it felt great to get it out of there.

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.

mine is way under there.
i don't understand how you could get in there cvanepps, because i was having a bitch of a time even lifting up my eyelid to see it.
i tried using a q-tip to get in there and like, scrape it off or something (i was desparate) and, let me tell you, the skin underneath your eyelid is quite sensitive. ouch. |

| 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. |

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? |

| 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:) |

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? |

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

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.

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... |

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

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 was gonna ask what was sexy about this topic, and then realised a) it was his cunning plan to get us to read it b) KoKs post explains everything.
One of my exs had a sty once. Man, do guys moan alot. bet it doesnt even hurt that much 
Just thought I'd throw that in there... |

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!
