So my eyes all fuged up and I might have lyme disease

My eye started hurting on Thursday and started getting red on the inside corner on Friday, by yesterday it was entirely red.

 

 

So this morning, it's all fuged up still, hurting worse, and slightly dilated. So I decide to break down and go to the doctor, thinking it might be some sort of pinkeye, even though there's no discharge and it doesn't itch - just hurts.

 

 

So my primary care doesn't know what it is, other than that it's not pinkeye, so they refer me to an opthamologist as an emergency referral. Turns out that it's Uveiris/Irisitis, which is basically an inflammation of the Iris, the colored part of your eye, but based on my description recent events, they have no idea why I have it. So she gives me a website link and tells me to go over the rather extensive potential list of connected conditions to see if any of them might be a possibility.

 

Well turns out that lyme disease is one, and I did get bit by two ticks last week. One right next to my dick, nothing really major there, and one on the inside of my thigh. The one on my thigh left a red itchy spot that spread to about the size of a silver dollar, but faded after about a week. Since it faded and didn't get the "bulls -eye" type indicator marking, it also didn't grow in size like lyme disease usually does (up to 6 inches across), I just shrugged it off.

 

So I called the opthamologist back and they are going to bring me back in for blood work on wednesday.

 

Fun.

Sorry bout your one eye but this line was funny although probably unintentional from your post above.

 

Really your doc more or less sent you to webmd to research stuff.  sounds like anyways.

Well, sorta kinda. There's literally a list of about 60 things that can be associated with this condition, although 90% of the time it's just an isolated event. So rather than go over them one by one, especially since from what I had told her none of them seemed to coincide, she just had me look over them to see if anything caught my eye.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
