Presumed Covid infection in January 2023
Summary
Crocus 70771 dated their illness to a presumed COVID infection in January 2023, with swollen eyelids and later recurring conjunctivitis, eye redness, visible veins and vision that felt off. Doxycycline for another infection cleared much of the redness temporarily, but it returned. A two-day fast for a colonoscopy left them feeling normal for about two weeks before symptoms worsened again. They were awaiting an ophthalmologist referral in April 2024.

The only relief I’ve had is when I took doxycycline for 7 days for another infection. A lot of the redness went away but is now back.
