To friend, family, or stranger:

It's a neurological disorder causing excruciating pain in the eye. It can occur at any time of day for several hours at a time, seasonally for 1 to 2 months of the year. During this time I may be incapacitated, unreliable, or disappear at any time. I do not need medical attention but please leave me alone and do not talk to me if I'm having an attack. Thank you.
