Did my eyes give me a bad chest?

[glowing]

I'm on my third lot of eye drops because of having conjunctivitis for four plus weeks. Nevertheless I looked forward to receiving my ivig infusion today and thought the lovely weather would make it feel like a nice trip out. The sun was so bright that I couldn't enjoy the journey because my eyes hurt too much. I got so hot and as always I began wheezing and had to take extra doses of my inhaler - which makes me tremble. I arrived so breathless the nurses were concerned and wouldn't let me walk anywhere so I had to ride in a hospital wheelchair to and from the department. I had to promise to consult my GP as soon as I arrived home, which I did. I am now on antibiotics for a chest infection. Oh well, it's going to be cloudy and cool tomorrow so hopefully my eyes will stop leaking. Can anyone tell me if the infection could have spread from my eyes to my chest? Glowing

ah ha, you too eh? My Grandsons, a friend in Surrey and now I have all either had or are in the process of having yukky eyes followed by chest infection. It is certainly doing the rounds all over the UK and if its going we're going to get it right? I'm now on cipro & co-amoxiclav for this & of course eye stuff.
It doesn't make us feel better physically that others are suffering in the same way, but oh boy is it nice to know that its not just us for once!
Feel better soon,
Liz

Thanks Liz. I agree it is good to know it's not just us, but I feel sympathy for all who have it as I know how it feels. Then again we could be suffering slightly more than the non-zebras and assuming that is the case we are entitled to pamper ourselves for a little bit longer than they are. Mmm, have to try that reasoning on my husband.
Hope you feel better soon too.
