Eye want to die.... literally.

That is right. I have Conjunctivitis. Which most of you know as Pink Eye. I am so upset and according to my sister I need to be positive and not let it bother me. I don't really want to spend the money going to the doctor so.....

my sister told me about a home remedy I could try.

I heat water and make Chamomile tea like normal but put it on my eye. I let the tea bag cool enough for touch (but it needs to still be hot) and I rub it on my eyelid and under my eyelid where it looks puffy. I then let the tea bag sit until it's not hot anymore. And I dip the tea bag in the mug again and repeat. I have also been using a wash cloth for other eye, I dip it in the mug of tea and wipe my good eye with it so I won't get it in that eye. So far my eye is not feeling itchy anymore and the redness is slowly disappearing. I will do this for the next 3 days. What a great Thanksgiving treat.... I can't wear any eye make up for the next few days.... I look like a crazy woman who let herself go. Just kidding, but seriously.

But many thanks to my sister for telling me about this home remedy. I hope it continues to work!
