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

[Floppin]

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.

I think my eye OD'd on looking at Alicejandra pictures and I now have eye cancer.

They gave me some muscle relaxer eye drops to drop into my eyes every two hours. My visions all blurry and I have the jitters.

One right next to my dick, nothing really major there,

 

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.

The play on words was intentional.
