Falling apart

Oct 07, 2008 13:45

My insides are still screaming at me but have ebbed a tad on the scale of massive pain. However, my left eyelid is now swollen and hurty. What the heck is happening to my body? *sigh*

ugh. *hugs* Allergic reaction or infection for the eyelid? upper or lower? I had almost the same thing on my lower left eyelid and it was just irritated by sleeping on it with cat hair on my pillow... for hours and hours.

I hope you feel better soon, sweetie. <3

I looked info up on swollen eyelids and it looks like it may be related to my thyroid. I haven't had that checked in about 6 months + so I'm wondering if that is the cause. And it's the upper lid. It wouldn't bother me much if it wasn't a bit painful to blink. I might say it was due to cat hair except I noticed it after work yesterday, not upon waking up.

Thank you. :)

Ah, yeah... best to get it checked out ASAP. I hope it's nothing serious. Meep.

Sadly, no insurance till November. *grrr* If it's not gone by this weekend I'm going to have to look into what is going on.

You are what you eat, and you are not eating right. eat meat. Humans eat meat. deal with it.

That has nothing to do with why I've been in pain or have a swollen eye.

I personally think it has everything to do with it, but i know you wont change that, so i'm going to shut up now.

Considering the fact that I eat fish and organic chicken, I don't think it does. Also, the pain I have been in has been due to the IUD I just got. So, I'm sorry but it has nothing to do with my eating habits. :p

You may want to get to checked for Lupus, that can do all sorts of weird things to your body.

I'm trying to remember if they have already checked me for Lupus. I can't remember. I've had soooo many test run on me in the past two years that I've lost track. The swollen eye might be caused by my thyroid though. It seems to be going down so I'm not super worried. As soon as my insurance kicks in I'm going to get blood work done anyway, just to be on the safe side.
