Hello, this is Karen Nichol, Family Nurse Practitioner, and you are listening to itchy and bitchy.

A podcast that provides answers to your many unanswered.

This is not a webinar, so when you make an appointment, I will be sitting at my desk waiting for you

to join the one-on-one Zoom call.

I have had these before, but it has been years since my last episode.

I do not have a headache with the eye symptoms, but because I knew what it was,

I took ibuprofen and went to bed, because it was actually bedtime.
