Thank You

EAGLE,

Sincerely thank you for your concern. Your right, the doc at the ER said it was fairly normal to "Vagal" out when given an intro occular injection. I was transported to the ER under federal guidlines for treatment that is considered ordinary and usual.

The eye feels much better, the adhesions seems to be breaking off due to a larger diameter of the pupil from the diolating drops and the redness and inflammation seem to be disapearing, albeit, slower than I would like.

The ER doc took mercy on me and prescribed a few 5/500 Vicodin for early morning pain since the mornings are when the eye has not received it's required drops during sleep. Honestly, I dont even like the idea of using an opiod pain killer for pain that can be managed by a couple of extra strength Tylenol. I did ask as to why he ordered Demerol for a migraine and he said that most triptans have proven unreliable for immediate abortive migraine pain. At least in his years of ER practice. He also pushed an non sterioidal anti inflammatory to reduce the chance of a rebound migraine. The Demerol certainly puts you in a good mood, but he actually said that 50 mg's is a fairly small dose compared to other doses for more injurious pain.

Thanks for your follow up post and your concern.
