I think you can get a cream for that?
- paraselene0
the lurgie, mayhaps. but the paranoia is not so easily treated.

well, i have debilitating paranoia about a lot of things, but at the moment i'm having trouble concentrating because the outer corner of my left eye is sore and looking a bit red. having just spent the weekend in the petri dish of ming that is glastonbury, i fear i may have picked up some sort of squatter lurgie. whatever shall i do, doctor?

Pink eye?
- paraselene0
dear god, i hope not!

you may wish to curl up the eye-lid and try to see if you have a little pluke-like mark on the inside, if so ask you real doctor for some anti-biotic drops, and be aware that if it swells, goes down then continues in a cycle of swelling you may need to have it removed (the mark that is, not the eye).
thnk you, only too happy to help, the main thing is not to worry, unless of course pressure in the eye seems to dip as this may result in a massive implosion and render you in a state of sightless agony forever :)
nae bother doll ;)

thank you, doctor! i feel so much better already (despite not having the foggiest idea what a pluke is) and will follow your instructions to the letter!
now, if only you could help me out with my calendar/diary app thread...

I beleive pink-eye to be similar but not quite the same as that which I describe - to the best of my knowledge the main difference being that no-one has died horribly of pink eye. yet.

Infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK), commonly known as pinkeye, is an economically important and often frustrating disease of cattle. The disease is quite common and highly contagious. A 1993 survey of Kansas cattle producers found IBK to be the second most common disease. A Missouri study found 45.4% of cattle herds to be affected by the disease. Cattle affected by the disease are painful and often become temporarily blind and, therefore, do not consume as much feed. This leads to economic losses due to decreased daily gain and lower weaning weights. The cost of treatment adds to economic losses. A 1984 study estimated that $200 million were lost due to IBK. This is a significant disease to the cattle industry and prevention and control should be of utmost importance. However, current treatment and prevention measures can be unrewarding and often do not circumvent the economic losses.

fortunately, dear snuggles, it looks NOTHING like that! i am certain that, in my sad case, vanity, paranoia and recent attendance at the most septic event in the british isles have conspired to encourage me to make mountains out of molehills.
qua: that picture is of a mountain, and my little red spot is a molehill.

then please disregard my last post, especially since you're not of the bovine breed, but interesting none-the-less...

see!?!?!
this is what happens when normally sane people fork over £125 to be treated like farm animals! sloshing around in disease-ridden mud, hay bales thrown at us from all sides, corraled into little paths and over bridges, days without sobriety or shelter...
