Christine the Lioness hunt n' pecked this
Wow… I can’t believe he actually posted on this one. I’ll add my two cents…
1. Thank God he made a concerted effort to avoid me while he was taking the medicine because I can attest that he was in a really foul mood.
2. Initially, he told me his eye was messed up because he was allergic to my cat (Meisha). I knew that was bullshit. I told him to go to the doctor and wash his pillows (which he finally did about two weeks after I mentioned it). I also suggested that maybe he replace his contacts that he’s been wearing for almost three years! He just hates going to any doctor and thinks his body will magically cure itself.
3. At first, I did call him a whiny ass little bitch for complaining so much about the medicine. Especially when he told me that the eye drops were making him lose his voice and burning his throat. I told him that I thought maybe it was a virus that was affecting both the eye and throat at the same time… but after he looked it up on the internet, I guess the eyes and throat really are somehow connected.
4. The medicine was really bad though. So I told him to go back to the doctor and tell him that he needed an alternative that didn’t mess him up so bad. Christopher, of course, wouldn’t go back because he hates doctors.
5. So anyway… the boy doesn’t really listen to my advice and therefore, he gets what he gets. I really think this whole ordeal could have been minimized or avoided all together. But it’s up to him to do whatever he wants, and I’m glad he chose to finally finish the medicine and I’m glad his eye is better because it was pretty bad. But the attitude about it fixing itself if it breaks again… hrmmm… it seems like that’s maybe what got him into the predicament to begin with. Just a thought…

No.. it was your fucking cat.. infected me with some sickness.
aJ the Zen Master added
Ouch Christopher.. That is one bad ass ordeal. Hope you get better soon.
Btw, 3 years of using the same contacts is really bad for the eyes. They can cause severe infections in the eye! Maybe you should change them and your eye might get better!

Oh you think, aJ??? What a novel idea! 
Keith the Director penned this
actually i agree with chris on this one i think cats carry some nasty shit with them. I hooked up with this girl one time, i woke up in the morning with some nasty ass infection that is 4x worse than pink eye. The eye was fused shut from puss leaking out while i slept. Why don’t you try wakeing up to an eye that wont open at all. Thinking i went blind in my eye i starting hyperventalating, and erupting in a rage. I got to the bathroom and managed to get my eye open. I drove home fortunately it was only about 7 miles. Took a shower and went to the eye doc. at wal-mart since its a sat and nothing else is open. Regardless i had to take an script, and eye drops 3x a day for 7 days. Whatever it was on a scale of 1-10 pink eye is a 3 this shit was a 7.
I feel your pain bro. I hope it never comes back! If it does get another script! ![]()

Haven’t you learned that you should wear an eye-condom to prevent that kind of stuff, Keith? At least you had the fucking sense to go to the doctor! That’s more than I can say for Christopher.
But your’s sounds way worse than his ever was too… maybe if Christopher’s eye was glued completely shut with pus, he might be a bit more proactive. 
aJ the Zen Master added
I agree.. That was a good decision to go Keith. Eyes are something I never take any risks with. IMO, they are far too important and fragile 
Amy the Groupie quibbed this
This topic is right up my alley since I work in the legalized drug business (I work in a pharmacy).Prednisolone opth solution is a steriod that is used to heal allergic and inflammatory eye conditions. This drug should be used with caution if you have fungal, herpes, or viral infection of the eye. Possible side of the drug, which are RARE, are: watery eyes, glaucoma,optic nerve damage,gradual blurring, reduction, or loss of vision, eye pain, nausea,vomiting. None of the symptoms Chris said are indicated in the warnings. Who knows, he could be the odd ball and have a reaction that no one in the world ever had to the med. I agree with christine that is was probably something different that hit the same time as the infection.
Christopher the Pyro got all philosophical
Yes.. this may be the case. I can still see.. so at least I avoided the loss of vision… must be the fucking herpes.
Keith the Director scribbled
Sry Christine I was wasn’t expecting a hook-up, and we were both fresh out ofeye condoms at the moment. had to take the risk ya know
Heh and aj i agree 100% I eyes are too fragile, and i don’t screw around when one of mine is working properly. [-( Sounds like you lucked out chris considering the side effects you had. maybe it was some other ailment you came down with coincidently at the same time. Or like you said perhaps it was just your herpes flareing up again? :-w
Christine the Lioness asserted
LOL, Keith. I’ll bet that chick was regretting the hook up too when she woke up and saw what was lying next to her!

LOL Christine you would think that, but it turns out this is the chick that went psycho on me and started ripping my windshield wipers off my ride! :-w

Alex. the Virgin asserted
Hey Christopher.
Hows your eye acting up? I have the same condition, it seems and Am taking those Hell Drops too. Did you know they cause Cataracts and Glaucoma too if you use them more than a few weeks? Ive been using them for 4 weeks and already show signs of cataracts. I guess the cure is worse than the disease. I just wish I knew or the doctor knew what I have. You see, nobody knows what I have or what is causing it. Stupid Doctors, shitty medicine. And they call it a Science.
Christine the Lioness scribbled
Dude. That sucks.
Amanda the Virgin added
Yes I just did a search and found your page because I too have been prescribed the horrid eye drops! I’ve only been on them 3 days and it’s weird! I’m not sure if I feel drunk a little or dizzy or what but it’s definately not normal chemistry in my body right now. Plus my eye lids are swollen now and it made my lower tummy swell out so I look 4 months preg! I don’t know if it’s worth it to keep going on this crazy stuff! I was online trying to look up the side effects! Steroids are a strange thing… and my Doc. wants me to be on these drops for a whole month! I might turn into a man by then or something!
Christopher the Pyro said this
I now feel completly vindicated.
Evelyn the Gramma whimpers the Virgin scribbled
Thanks Amanda, I thought I was losing my mind! After some heavy-duty eye surgery, my dr. prescribed this stuff for 45 days. The first week was okay, then suddenly my lower stomach blew up like a balloon, followed by on-again, off-again severe pain from the chest down. I just spent my second night sitting up in
a chair to help ease the pain, & decided this morning to find out what kind of side
effects this med can inflict on the body. Of course the drug co. doesn’t list anything like this, but we know!
Christine the Lioness added
Yikes!

o I can’t believe what I am reading. I was on the drops for 2 weeks and I hated taking them because they were nasty tasting. I started with indigestion and pain from the chest down. I lost over 15 pounds and went through a battery of tests to find out nothing. At first they thought it was my gallbladder and 4 tests later they said it could possibly be the eye drops. My eye is finally better after a 2 month ordeal but I still have not been given the go ahead to wear my contacts. My contacts are 14 day use and I am really good about that.
Jake the sports star the Virgin spake, and sayeth
I got a piece of notecard sling shotted at me was on that stuff for a week at once every two hours just today the doctor said for saturday and sunday i only do it 4 times a day then mon ahd tues twice a day and wed and thurs once a day then im done
karen the Virgin spake, and sayeth
I’m on the eye drop i started taking the medicine in oct 06 and then oct 07 i had the chest pain and the blown up stomach it started in the left eye and in the right eye after seeing different doctors they all say the same thing that they dont know what it comes from but take the medicine and hope that it cures the eye, I was told that it will recure again i’m tired of paying eye doctors and nothing is working i have had blood work done to see if its something else wrong and they found nothing, i was told by one eye doctor it was a form of early arthritis. i took an antibiotic for an ear infection i notice it went away but it came back.

right here Mara…
PJ… I have to say that when you have a Jeep, you do develop a special relationship with it, people who drive cars just can’t relate… After hurricane Ivan devastated us, I lost every single possession but her, she sat out in the wind and rain just rocking a little, and when it was calm, Delilah rescued people from flooded homes, and helped me get supplies, food, water and ice to my friends and family… She actually drove a mile through the sea, in water 3 ft deep. We spent 5 great years together, and she did everything I needed her to, took me to work, parties, the hospital when my son was born. She rarely complained… You can’t get that kind of loyalty and dedication from a woman… I felt a little nauseous as I handed the guy the keys… but I know him well, and he’ll take good [better than I] care of her… Sniff!
