Anyone else deal with this nonsense? Lol!
It seems every fall I get an allergy flare up in my left eye. It normally hits me late October to mid November. I use alaway eye drops for most of the year to help keep it away and has helped me not to get affected the last two years. December rolled around and I have no issues so I abandoned the drops. Wrong move! Laid down last night and my eye was watery and itchy. Woke up this morning to it almost swollen shut, gushing fluids, pink as all get out and extremely light sensitive.
The prescription steroid eyes drops I had used are expired so, time to use the teledoc and get it renewed. Hopefully he/she won't make me go to the eye Dr first. No eye insurance on my end. The very first time I encountered this I had to go to my eye Dr and he stuck me with an "emergency appointment" surcharge. Rightfully so I guess.

Mid October is most probably ragweed allergies. Lasting into November is late for ragweed, but this year our 1st frost was close to November.

The teledoc got me on some Ciprofloxacin eye drops. Great relief so far👍
