Sorry to hear this, Rich! All of us episodic sufferers fear going chronic one day. I normally have episodes in the summer (except this year), and I definitely understand your fear of going out of the house. During a summer episode, I switch to contact lenses and wear heavy-duty sunglasses to avoid direct sun in my CH side eye. It's no fun driving with an oxygen mask on! Unless I stay in complete shade, CH hits me before I get on a freeway that's 5 minutes away. Direct sun into my eye is one of the biggest triggers for me. Hang in there!!
