What, besides being punched, can make your eyes feel tender and bruised, to the point that it is painful just to turn them? It hurts to touch them, too.

I am having the weirdest combination of symptoms. There is the eye thing I iust described, a complete lack of energy or motivation, feeling very cold when it isn't, body aches, a cough, and excessive sleepiness. I think that's everything. (The hives I got on my arm came and went too quickly, IMO, to be connected to the rest of it, as the rest has been going on for 2 days now, but the hives were today and lasted for about 5 minutes.) The weirdest part, besides the eye tenderness, is that I am not even slightly feverish.

Oh yeah, and brain fog. It's all very similar to the flu, aside from the eyes and lack of any fever. I did a covid test out of paranoia, but it came back negative.

@hosford42 Go see a doctor. Social media is not known for its expertise in medical diagnoses.

@AlliFlowers Oh, I know, but I like to do my homework first, and it's also Sunday.

@AlliFlowers This is my idea collection phase. After I have gathered a lot of suggested possibilities, I'll do proper research to narrow down the list. Then I can confirm with the doctor that the remainder can be ruled out to get to a proper diagnosis.
