I have had this condition since I was about 7 yrs old. I used to refer to it as "eye ache" as that was exactly how it felt, my eye would water and feel if it was about to explode.
As of late, say the last 5-10 yrs, the episodes have been less frequent, and were in most cases triggered by alcohol
.My treatment consisted of 2 anadins and a lie down in a dark room keeping the affected eye warm.My g.p. told me I`ll have to live with it, after suffering from an early age, I replied " I`m already living with it"for the past 40 years.
"Touch wood" I haven`t had an attack for about a year now,and I enjoy a couple of pints a week ,so may be it could be loosing it`s grip.
