Yea that's been my monday...ugh.
Started yesterday with my lower lid sore and puffy...a little worse today so after a few hours at work they convinced me to see the eye Dr, and I'm glad I listened. Orbital cellulitis...which I know can get bad quick so im glad I went. Here's to a week of 2 antibiotics!

Ugh! I'm sorry. I haven't had it on my eye, but I had it on my nose a few weeks ago. It was really painful. I couldn't even stand to have my glasses on my face. I got a prescription for antibiotics, which in turn gave me serious bathroom issues the whole time I was taking them. Good times. I hope you feel better quickly.

My dd was rushed to an emergency eye clinic last year because they thought this was what she had. They were very no nonsense about "go straight there because this is what it could be..." & explained that it could go to her brain. The most useful thing I did was take photos on my phone as it was worsening. Fortunately it wasn't that after all.
I'm so glad that you got help quickly. Hope you get better soon & the antibiotics aren't too hard on you.

I'm glad you saw a DR quickly. I don't fool around with my eyes.

My mom had that with shingles in Jan. It was horrible and she was in the hospital for 5 days.

Owwww! I had cellulitis (not in my eye) and it really hurt. Good thing you went to the dr. right away. Hopefully you'll be healed up with the round of antibiotics. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks! I stayed home today because 1. Eye pain gives me an awful headache and 2. I have the worst stomach! Don't know if it's the headache making it bad or the meds or a combo of both. The eye itself does feel a little better thankfully!

I'm glad you got it taken care of.. Yes I had it wasn't pretty... I actually got menegitits after it. or with it I should say.. The drs weren't really sure if I got it from the antibotics I was taking or from the infection it self. The sinus infections like that are nasty and nothing to mess with. I'm glad you're on some good meds. I hope they helps. Do what they tell you and take it easy!
