So I've got an eye stye. Probably for the second or third time in my life as I'd completely forgotten what little bastards they can be. I got the feeling I had glass in my right eye about three days ago, mild itching and a reddish upper eyelid.

After getting sound medical advice (I googled 3 sites and also read the wiki on the subject) I diagnosed it as an eye stye under the upper lid and proceeded with treatment. This basically consisted of 'deal with it Quasimodo' and applying hot eye compresses. Which is tedious as **** and I always manage to scald my self at the first attempt.
This relieved most symptoms except the swelling which got worse, but this was expected at day 2/3.
And then yesterday night. Holy ****ing sh1t. I woke up to be greeted with searing, burning pain. It felt like I'd been stung directly in the eye by a wasp (I'm guessing retribution for the great Wasp Holocaust of 09. I almost burnt the garage down but I got most of them) who then pepper sprayed me. Things were touch and go for like 10 minutes, but I managed stick my head under the shower long enough to stop crying.
Still some redness and swelling but I feel a lot better. I was told there's eye drops for this that speed up healing, but screw it, I'm over the worst. Probably.
tl;dr - Oh, your time is that precious in it? Begone child.
