icepixie: (headdesk)
[personal profile] icepixie
So I had my first-ever emergency room visit tonight. I went out to walk the dogs, and not too long after I came back, my eyeball started swelling up, getting all red, etc. etc., and as time passed, I ended up with little hives all around my eyes. Apparently the eyeball-swelling is common in allergic reactions, but, none of us knowing that and fearing that my eye would, I dunno, explode or something, I got whisked off to the hospital. It did look freaky. Fortunately, I managed not to scratch my cornea, but the test the nurse practicioner did to see if I had has left my good eye feeling all painful now. Sigh.

But I got interesting antihistamine eyedrops for if this ever happens again. Which hopefully it won't, because while I get hay fever like nobody's business (friggin' ragweed), and I do seem to remember having little hives around my eyes once in a while, I've never had a reaction this bad. And it's not even officially ragweed season yet!

Bleh.
