Off the doctors..
Gitti had to go to the doctors. I had to go to the doctor's too...
This was what I diagnosed myself with :
Some mosquito bit me on my left eye lid. What a place to be bitten by mosquitoes...causing my eyelid to 'puff' up a little. The puff didn't go away... Instead, it grew larger and larger... ( ok. its not noticeable.... so its not that big ) but got really really irritating... I can't put on my contact lenses... ARGH !!!!
So i went to the Doctor Lim, my family doctor... all the way in North Side Singapore, Yishun.... And this is what I was diagnosed with...
Styes: (external hordeolum)
There are many small glands (and the ducts of these glands) in your eyelid. They can become infected or simply clogged and swell , causing pain and discomfort. Sometimes you may see and feel the small nodule. Styes more commonly occur in the upper lid near the lid margin and eyelashes, but can be found in the lower lid as well. More often than not, they are caused by a staphylococcus bacteria infection in an eyelash follicle or in the associated glands of Zeiss and Moll . Staph is a very common bacteria often present on your skin. Sometimes they over-reproduce causing inflammation.
This is quite similar to a pimple in your skin and the treatment is likewise similar: warm compresses three or more times each day until completely resolved. Most often improvement can be observed within a day or two and complete healing occurs within a week. Styes may be treated with antibiotic drops and ointments along with warm compresses. This sometimes shortens the recovery time.
So.... for the next 3 days.. I am not going out unless I am need to... I am not going to think about it. I am going to think about how I can swallow the pills my doctor gave me.... I CANNOT SWALLOW PILLS ! Its a disability ! I am soooo terrible at doing so... and my doctor gave me HUGE capsules and tablets to swallow ! Oh my ! ( A huge flask of water, Cutting Board and Knife to the resue )
I came to the conclusion with my doctor that not being able to swallor pills is a diesease that many people have.... I think so..... do you ?
For now... poor me....sniff sniff....
