One woman's CrossFit journey.

Don’t Look at Me, I’m Hideous…

That’s how I felt yesterday. I have had the same thing happen multiple times since August. I keep waking up with my left eye super red. It gets a little itchy, but not bad. It’s mostly just annoying. I am not sure what it is. Conjunctivitis? Allergies? I don’t know. I did some research, but I an’t seems to find anything conclusive. Next time it is red, I will hopefully be able to get into the doctor. If it keeps recurring, my body is telling me something.

I was going to train last night, but it looked really red and I didn’t feel like dealing with fifteen people saying, “Oh my..what happened to your eye???”. I get very self-conscious about it and everyone asking makes me feel worse. So, I went home. This morning, it is almost completely clear. It’s the strangest thing ever. So, I am having to adjust me training a bit.

    Could be a reaction to something you’re eating/drinking/applying to skin/etc.

    • I am trying to figure it out, but I am not doing anything different. It started before changing my diet. I eat close to the same thing everyday..exciting. Lots of research.
