Hello,

Your symptoms are suggestive of migraine headaches. Migraine headaches usually are described as an intense, throbbing or pounding pain that involves temples or forehead and change sides from one attack to the next. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, facial pallor, cold hands, cold feet, and sensitivity to light and sound commonly accompany migraine headaches. Stress is one of the most important factors for the precipitation of migraine headaches.

Treatment of migraine involves using a cold compress to the area of pain, resting in a room with little or no sensory stimulation (light, sound, and odors), Withdrawing from stressful surroundings and sleeping. You can also try OTC pain killers. If still the symptoms persist, then please consult a physician for specific anti-migraine therapy.

I advise you to consult a physician and get yourself evaluated for migraine.If it is ruled out,then other causes like glaucoma,sinus headaches and neurological causes like aneurysm have to be looked for.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Hi
I have seen doctors and they have been treating me for Giant Cell but the treatments aren't working and making me worse but I can not get any of them to find out what else this could be. They all pass the buck and say I should ask the other doctor to find out. No one wants to take responsibility for what is happening. I do not know what to do, all I know is I am getting worse and worse. I go to emergency for the pain and they give me something I am allergic to and I get sick. I'm very frustrated and afraid and do not know what to do.
Thankyou for responding and caring.
I am in university and just started a new semester but am having difficulty reading or staying alert. I have not checked messages for a week because I have either been trying to catch up or in bed.
I hope you are well.
Iska

Have you seen a doctor?
These are not symptoms to ignore, especially when it involves the eyes and head.
Please see a doctor because there are some illnesses with these symptoms that can cause sudden and permanent blindness. It could also be your heart.
