Something else came to mind. Very helpful would be Swedish Bitter (in German Schweden Kraeuter) which should be available in pharmacy stores (German Apotheke). It is a mix of a lot of different herbs emerced in alcohol left out in the sun and turned twice a day. Put the liquid on a cloth and put this on your eyes. Repeat this as often as possibile for as long as possible. If you can, apply it over night.
Hope you are getting better soon.

what you mean with gürtelrose is »herpes zoster« / »shingles« (français: zona). i sure hope it hasn’t infected the eyes, but is rather only a conjunctivitis!

on a semi-related note—the everquest troll by julie guthrie is now officially my favorite troll sculpt! man, if only he was a bit bigger … but he can still grow … 😆

You only get shingles if you’ve had measles before. If you haven’t had measles, you can’t get shingles.

barliman, the above is true if you substitute measles with chickenpox.

Aha, shows how litle attention I was paying when Mrs B was unfortunate enough to get it last winter….I’d better go and apologise.

I hope you are feeling better very soon Gildor…with no lasting effects. Chamomile is a nice, calming herb and any left over herb will make a nice tea.

thankfully the color theme I chose for MMP is dark green and It does not generate too much pain it seems things are going a BIT better (i used some balm for eyes containing a lot of vitamin A) it seems the red in my eyes is decreasing a bit… I may see the doctor tomorrow…
Aside for my eyes, all other symptoms from the measles seem now gone… at last…. only the eyes…. I cannot do lot of computers and indeed I can’t read nor paing… that’s quite frustrating… besides I cannot go back to work if my eyes are not better … they are my main “tools”….

as for the troll well I sent one to cameosis and the pictures you saw are from me…. I used to have a figurine of each of the Everquest ever released figurines for the original promo (now I also have an iksar thanks to cameosis)
I don’t know where to find these anymore… I have only seen firiona, or the small nagafen dragon sold separatly in small blisters, but never seen any of the others (al’kabor mage, irontoe dwarf, or grobb troll) I can’t even be certain there are not others aside from those 5 ones…

so after my visit to the ophtalmologist… it is a keratitis of an herpes kind (somehow connected to the measles) I got a speacial treatment, it should be over in 5 or 6 days without further problems but it indeed does require special treatment it is not a simple conjunctivitis…

sigh… hope it will soon be totally over….never been that “ill” in more than ten years…

Well, now I only have to put drops in his eyes instead of having to fuss over him all day long.
Of course I did have to spend a long time taking care of him as I started working on his birthday cake.

Happy Birthday Gildor !
