Tickly eyes

[vivdunstan]

One of the symptoms I had from Covid that seems more common with recent strains was very tickly/itchy around the eyes. Though no sign of conjunctivitis/redness directly. That went away, but seems back now. Possibly due to restarting my strong immunosuppression drug at the weekend. But otherwise I'm doing good. And still officially negative. My winter vaccines are due in 3.5 weeks. That time scale does work with my known infection.

I've been a bit tickly round the eyes as well...

I've bought some eye drops for the first time in a very long while. (Without preservative, as that makes my eyes itch even more)

My husband can only manage with preservative free too. He gets these and special eye gel on repeat prescription (free here in Scotland) because he had a quite serious eye problem diagnosed earlier this year (recurrent erosion syndrome) and is having to medicate permanently while his eye recovers. Occasionally the chemist has given him the wrong type of eye drops and it's pretty disastrous. There is a big note on his prescription now saying he must have preservative free. But even that doesn't work reliably, and he's now usually just buying the right thing for an easy life.
