Go to the emergency room!

It sounds like you scratched your cornea!

I'm glad you figured out what it was.... it's going around here, too. I hope you feel better!

Buuuut... your first post reminded me of a friend of mine. Years ago we all went to a strip-joint and he was up by the stage salivating over this one dancer. Throughout the evening we kept mentioning how his eye was getting all puffy. By the end of the night it looked like someone had popped him in the eye... he didn't care though, this dancer was giving him all kinds of attention. Anyway... the next morning his eye was the same... puffy, red around it, bloodshot. He said it felt like something was in there, and the first thing he thought of was an eyelash. It ended up he went to the doctor because it wasn't getting any better and was becoming itchy.

He had a crab in his eye. Yep... more than likely from that dancer.

Ewwwww....

"Arghhhh! I've got something in my eye!!!"

Ok, yesterday about noon, it felt like an eyelash got under my eyelid. If that's not the most uncomphortable feeling as it is, I couldn't get it out. So I spent the next 6 hours at work with one eye shut.

I get home, and try everything from eye drops to saline solution to standing under the shower with the water hitting me in the face. No luck.

I go to bed hoping that it would work itself out sometime. Nope. I wake up this morning and now my eye is swollen almost shut! I call my doctor and guess what? He has his own doctor's appointment this morning and MAYBE could fit me in around 2 pm later today. It's 10: 30 am now.


FREAKIN A!
IT FEELS LIKE I HAVE GLASS FRAGMENTS UP IN THERE! I WANT TO PULL MY WHOLE EYE OUT RIGHT NOW IT'S SO IRRITATING...

Any advice?
It's like my tear duct isn't working anymore, it's gotten that dry. My eyes have always been super sensitive. This is driving me crazy.

2the9s is probably right. What you are describing it similar to my experience. I somehow got some dirt underneath my contact lens while playing soccer, and scratched the shit out of my cornea. It hurts so bad you can't open it, right? They'll give you a patch to wear over your eye for a few days, and I think they'll give you some drops that stop the pain a little. Good luck.

Oh, just fling some poo in my eye. Maybe that would work as warm compress.
