The DU Lounge

The haze of the smoking. Ghads!
(I wasn't, am not a smoker!)

And around the same time in Pre-Election '68 my uncle took me to a political gathering of Dems for Humphrey.

There was soooo much smoking going on there! A bit of a haze top!#cough#cough#gak#cough#
Wow - did I come out afterwards with a sore throat, possibly some dizziness and/or headache!

I have had only 1 migraine (induced later on by extreme focused light with a magnifying glass into my dialated eyes [possibly worse in one eye] by a ?opthamologist. Started to get all manner of crazy light "designs" blocking everything else out) when I was 16, I just turned 72, and I still remember it!

My dad had taken me. I had to hold on to him afterwards with eyes closed near slits, and completely closed in the brief sunlight between blocks ubtul we got to our car.

By the time we got home I had the whole 9 yards: sensitivity to light (down went the shades), the visual "auras", the nausea(!!!), tension headache, etc, 56 years ago!

I have complete sympathy for people who get them!
