Headaches and Pars Planitis

[crauser]

I've been diagnosed with Pars Planitis around 2 months ago. I've been getting the most intense headaches ever. They started when I first started having problems in my left eye. Currently taking prednisone drops everyday to reduce inflammation. Supposedly it is almost under control but have lost some vision in my eye. Wondering whether or not these headaches are due to the prednisone or the actual condition? The ophthalmologist and retinal specialists say that they are not.

Remember there is a well known association of pars planitis with multiple sclerosis, there may be other un-yet as recognized neurological problems.

I've been dealing with this eye disorder for 20 years now...and I've had major headaches for 20 years.  I definitely believe they are tied together.  Makes sense, straining your eyes to see all day at work and headaches go hand in hand.  On top of it, from taking excederin daily for all these years, I now have lots of stomach problems.

Then there's no reason not to belive them.
