Conjunctivitis

Its now been a full week with it and its seriously pissing me off!

Had to cancel trip to London, meetings & have time off work.

 

Anyone else ever suffered from this? How long 'til normal sight returns?

Not quick enough.

you will end up wearing them big thick rimmed glasses....

 

oh,hang on a minute....

usually takes me a few days but the first two im blind for about an hour in the mornings. I once had it 2/3 weeks because i caught it again twice. Try not rubbing your eyes for the next few weeks.

try rinsing your eyes with sterile water twice a day and get some eye drops to stop your eyes from getting dry and sticky

Try visiting your GP

to much cum in your eyes of you boyfriend :give_rose:

Have you tried rubbing them with a balloon?

mate of mine suffers really badly with this

 

up to half a dozen times a year

 

research shows its likely to be linked to some laser surgery he had

 

it leaves the optical transducer vulnerable to infection

I got some cream from the GP that I had to put in my eyes about 5 times a day (it's a few years ago now), got better (well stopped being paibful) after about 3 days , and it was a week before I got back to normal

Try squrting a bit of Cillit Bang into them.

I had it last weekend, probably from rubbing my eyes at work.

 

Saline baths for the eye and antibiotic eye drops from the chemist. All done in 5 days.

That might smart a bit, best to squirt some onto a brillo pad and then gently rub the eyes with that

Or Cif Cream Cleaner might be less harsh.

 

PS For those of us born before 1990 Cif is the poncy name for Jif.

Page 7 of Bolton News has an article about the rise of conjunctivitis problems.

Adenoviruses are a group of viruses which infect the membranes of tthe respiratory tract, eyes, intestines and urinary tract.

It goes on to say that most of the complaints come from people using DW sports at Burnden.

A spokesman for DW sports says there is no evidence blah blah blah.

I last went there a week or so before I knew I had it. Not sure what time lapses between contracting it & the symptoms appearing. But I do know 2 other people who have now got it & both use DW.

Met a mate in offie on Saturday night who had it. Now might be a carrier!
