I think I got the blade of the double-edged sword...
I spent just over $120 at the pharmacy today. The good part is I did get five different prescriptions. The bad part is that four of them were only ten dollars each. Yeah. So, this stuff had better work really well. It's some stuff for the eye allergy issues that recur. Apparently if you use steroids on your eyes frequently, you might get glaucoma. So even though my insurance refused to pay for this non-steroid because they want me to use steroids and get glaucoma, I got it anyway. Because I do not want any more issues with my eyes...and because I have been using more steroids than my doctor gave me on the whole eye thing because I have the hook-up and they work. Oops. I hope it works, because if it doesn't then I am stuck with a giant tube of $90 crap.

Dude- imagine how many of those stupid air puff tests you'd have to do. No good.
And I suck at those puff of air tests. Sometimes someone even has to come help hold my eye open, as my eye reflexes are much faster than all my other reflexes.
Plus glaucoma is NOT GOOD! Did you know you can have a glaucoma emergency? Seriously, like your eye could explode or something... I don't really know all the details about it since I can't remember them, but I remember them talking about it when I was in school and I thought "huh... something I didn't know I should worry about".
I definitely do not want my eye to explode. Even though sometimes my migraines make me feel like it's going to...
Yeah I felt that way on Saturday... I am not 100% sure on the explosion thing, I just remember them talking about an emergency, and in my mind I went to eyeball explosions. You know.
