Thank you Karen

Just called my eye doc and he is, of course, out of town this week
Spoke to his nurse about it - she said that a one time incident does not have to be considered an emergency. Asked me a few questions - I used to have migranes but haven't in about 7 years, I took antihistamines due to a cold and overdid caffeine yesterday. She said it sounds like a reaction to that combination. I may go see him when he gets back next week, but if I have another, I'll definately go. It was very bizarre!
