Thanks everyone for all the nice repsonses to my very first post. I feel a mixed blessing for having found you guys; one the one hand I wish I had never heard of this, any of this, on the other hand it's nice to know there is help and support and some nice people who understand me. I've had weird conversations with my family last week, after telling them what I had and what the remedies were. Their first reaction: well, take some aspirin and some rest when it happens. It took me a while to make them understand I did not need a new job, a second opinion, a subscription to the gym or chicken soup to deal with this. Funny people...In the meantime I feel this 'snake' slumber underneath my left eye, like it is teasing me. Sometimes it actually stings a little, but most of the time it is just hidden. But now I am getting scared it will come again. I thought this episode was over, I am still hoping that's the case. Darned, what did we do to deserve this?
