~Ever Had One?~

Hey everyone, hope your doing well. Things are the usual here. Got chores done, hubby is working, taking care of the kids and getting their school work done. I have been here on and off too of course. @Jolietjake I'm going to beat you for sending me searching for who you were talking about in a discussion before I went duh! When will the war end? Anyway, I woke up this morning with a painful feeling under my eye. It's a little swollen and so painful to blink!! It's a stye. =( This is the first time I have ever had one in my life. Have you ever had a stye before? I will be putting warm compresses on my eye to get rid of this thing...

I don't think I've ever had a stye before. Do they usually go away on their own? (and I have no idea who he was talking about)

@NJChicaa Yes they go away usually by putting warm compresses on it. Which I am going to do. It's painful! Lol, they don't like each other and haven't for a long time.

@LovingMyBabies I figured it out once I saw the comment about "war".

I have never had a stye, but I am having a swollen hair root and pain in my right eye, for two or three days. I buy an antihistamine eye drop when this happens. I hope you feel better soon. My mom used to get styes from time to time. I never did find JJ's friend, but I did not look too hard.

@Gardengerty Ouch, that doesn't sound good either. Thank you, it's already feeling a lot better than it was. There is a color in their username.

I never had one, but I remember lots of kids getting them in grade school. I thought may be they were spread around like pinkeye. But I never knew! I hope yours goes away soon.

@LovingMyBabies Good. They seem so miserable. I had a little thing in my mouth last week that was driving me nutz, I think I must have bit my lip in my sleep or something.

I remember one of my friends asking if they could use my wedding band to run over the affected area. Weird, but that's what she asked. Was supposed to remove the sty.

I've never had one but I'm pretty sure it must be painful. I've seen a few though that grew really big and red. I hope yours gets better.

I had a few styes when I was in elementary school. A boy I was in class with used to get them a lot. I believe they are contagious.

@LovingMyBabies Oh that is good to know! I was always in a panic I would catch it from the boy who had them so often.

@shaggin I looked it up to see if they are and it says they are not. This is my first one and hopefully the last.

I had a stye once, it was bothersome and I was so glad when it was gone. Good old JJ, where would we be without him and his witty humour?

Painful, but they go overnight for me, mostly.

A sty in the eye. Poetry for sure @LovingMyBabies . You might have rubbed your eye and had some bacteria on your fingers. Some regular saline eye drops should help.

Yes I had one once along with an eye infection. I was told it might be because my immune system was low. They are quite painful and annoying. Warm presses definitely helped me.
