Hi,

It is difficult to comment without actually looking at the reports. It would also help to know as to what was the significant finding in the previous MRI.
Since your present MRI is normal, the chances of your symptoms being due to some neurological lesion in the brain are negligible.
The possibility of migraine cannot be ruled out. Other causes of headache and eye pain include sinusitis and poor sleep. I would suggest you to do some relaxation exercise every day and sleep on time. If the sleep problem persists you may need a mild prescription sleep aid.

Hi,

You still seem worried. Expected to find something worse in MRI ;-)?

OK and Unremarkable mean the same thing, N O R M A L.

Your pain is a 'function' of the nerves which is not seen in any scans. So, yours is a 'functional' problem.

If your CT/ MRI had come up with something (thank God it didn't), it would have been 'organic' as opposed to 'functional'

Best,
