It started yesterday afternoon with my eye feeling a bit...odd. Like a small bruise if you will. I looked in the mirror at around 3:30 and I noticed that the lid was starting to puff up in the corner (this is happening to my left eye). Since I didn't feel like being at work anyway (our a/c is still out), I went home. After coming home, my hubby and I went out to eat and then stopped off at a few stores. I think noticed it was getting a bit puffier. So we head to the pharmacy and the man tells me to get some cream to rub on the eye lid. I wake up, and its still there. It looks like right above the eye and the eye lid are puffy. And it likes to twitch a bit. So I went to web MD, and they mention that it could just be a bacterial infection or a allergic reaction. I might stop by my friend's house, since he mentioned having something like this about a month ago.

Last view: 4022 days 		That's what you call a stye. I got one out of nowhere earlier this year and it drove me crazy for about 2-3 days. It went away on its own finally. Basically you picked up some bacteria somewhere on your hands or whatever and it got into your eye when you rubbed it. Might want to check your towels in your house and make sure they're all clean, as that's where I think I got mine (from someone else's towel I used on accident after a shower.)

It's a popular saying here in Puerto Rico that you get a stye if you deny a pregnant woman's cravings. Run into any pregnant women lately, Anya?

No. A stye is like a pimple or an actual sore ON the eyeball. Much more serious than an allergic reaction.

Allergens are really picking up this season due to moisture.

I should have taken a pic of it while it was at its worst. The swelling is going now.

Last view: 6147 days 		The only weird eye-related phenomenon I remember (besides migraines and such) was once when I had the flu, and if I closed my eyes for a while they would stick closed. That really freaked me out every time I got up during the night "I CAN'T SEEEEEEE! Oh, wait..."

I wouldn't want to try contacts, as they cause a lot of problems...

Your eyelids touch your eyeballs all the time.
