Pink eye AGAIN!

Lindsey · 01-12-2010, 05:11 AM

Obviously I didn't clean and wash everything well enough, but I'm surprised it took this long for it to come back. I KNOW my eyes were fine yesterday morning because I would have noticed when I was putting on makeup. I didn't notice until last night when I was taking my contacts out that my eyes were VERY red. I was tired all day and on my computer all night, but it looked more red than just eye strain. Scott didn't even notice, so he was no help. I put some antibiotic eye drops in my eyes from last time. This morning there was no doubt, there is no white showing at all

So I have the day off work and I am going to disinfect EVERYTHING in this place!

Ah Lindsey not again! Hope it's gets better soon sweetie.

So sorry kiddo!!! Be careful not to touch the tip of your drops to your eyes. Maybe you should go to the doctor again if it doesn't get better quick!

Lol I'm most upset that I have to throw out my last pair of contacts because I was wearing them yesterday! I'm also throwing out my eyeliner and my eyeshadow brush because I wore eye makeup yesterday and I don't know if I was infected before that and just not showing symptoms.... I don't know if I'll have to throw out the eyeshadow too, or if I can just take a tissue and scrape off the top layer.

I am so STUMPED as to what I would have touched yesterday that I didn't touch in the past two weeks. I suppose it could have been almost anything, because we've been putting our baseboards back on and moving all of the furniture for access. How do I get the germs out of furniture?

Anything solid I will wipe down with bleach, but what about the couches and anything else fabric?

It could be allergic conjunctivitis. Check this out..

(My best guess would be that it was the makeup, but if it does come back again, it's time to go back to the doctor)
