Following up on yesterday's post, I did end up taking a "sick day" today and made an appointment to see the doctor about my eyes. I took some Benadryl last night and as a result had a difficult time waking up, so it's just as well that I stayed home. At least now I'm getting some sleep, though medicinally induced.
My first thoughts upon calling into work was that perhaps I could use the day off, combined with some pleasant weather, to squeeze my long run (20+ miles) in, but as the morning wore on that idea faded. When I did get to the doctor's and explained my symptoms (itchy, watery, stinging eyes), he determined that I didn't display enough to warrant a trip to an allergist, which was "cool" with me. He did, however, prescribe an anti-histamine to help alleviate the problem. Unfortunately there was some sort of snafu with my insurance which meant I would have to either bay the total cost or wait for some sort of approval. I chose to wait, went home and took more Benadryl, then went to sleep.
After waking up, I went on a lethargic run, one during which I stopped at a supermarket along the way, something I've never had to do before. I sure was glad that I had planned a route which went through "civilization." During the run, my eyes once again teared and burned and I noticed that it was significantly more painful while I was in the sunlight.
Hopefully when I do get the presciption filled at the pharmacy in a few days it will help further allevaite the dsicomfort without making me feel s-o-o-o drowsy...
Breathe in, breathe out... YOU AND I ARE ALIVE!
