I'm #5 at a WellNow

My eyelid has been looking and feeling not so great for the last week or so.


It starts to look better and then I believe it's okay for awhile.

This isn't the case this morning. It looks seriously messed up today.

I cancelled my second job this afternoon and I'm patiently waiting my turn to be seen at WellNow.

I think the other people who are waiting to be seen are curious about the lady (me) who's wearing sunglasses inside.

I'm sure that my eyelid isn't that ghastly where I need to wear sunglasses inside but I'm a tad vain truth be told.


I don't need any hearts, I only need positive vibes.

Thank you.



😺 ❤️


P. S. Ohhh.... two more people came in after me.

Could it be a stye? No idea what you are suffering with but, believe it or not, a bit of your own ear wax applied to a stye takes care of it.

I worked with a young girl who had a stye & doctors told h3r they would have to operate.

I hopped on google, did a quick search, printed the info for her. She truid it & stye went away very quickly.

Not dxing you, just sharing a weird experience.

Good luck!

The treatment is to apply warm compresses several times a day and to lay off the makeup for awhile.


I've treated milia on myself near my eye before but it was large enough that I wasn't paying a dermatologist to treat it.


Thank you!

I'm glad you are here on DU as well!

My kid had lyme disease and co-infections nearly 25 years ago. I learned everything I never wanted to know through that process. LOL Mostly, the importance of taking charge of my own healthcare, directing facilities to send blood samples, etc. to labs *I* want them sent to, and the value of looking up home remedies to at least help allevate, if not eradicate symptoms and disease organisms, etc., etc., etc.

I hope your eye gets better soon!

You went missing awhile ago and no one on DU knew what happened to you. I'm glad that you made back home to us.

because that's the sort of thing I like to do early in the morning.

Sounds like it's a cousin of pink eye, or conjunctivitis. Not fun! Hope it clears up quickly and you're back to your googly self real soon, Niagara!

since I suspected it's what I had. There's about 10 different contributing factors that can cause it.


I like the googly eyes. It makes my day so much better!
