Hi again
First off, wanted to say thanks to you all foe replying to my previous post with a hard push ;) to go to a specialist to see what's what. I feel like at least I am taking a step. I am nervous, I guess wondering if this Dr will also just shrug his shoulders and say maybe you are depressed ( which I am not, except for about my continuing health problems). Any way about my topic
I have been thinking a lot about my migraines, and what causes them, after reading some discussion on here about optic neuritis. So basically, my migraines started out a little funky...Sharp eye pain, right eye, for a few minutes, and that is it. Later on that eye pain would stick around, and I had blurry or fuzzy vision, and then as a result would get a whopping headache.
Now years later, my eye pain is almost all the time, with a lot of photosensitivity and eyes hurt especially when I look at thinks sideways, it's like the back and top of my eyeballs hurt, and sometimes I have a sort of imprint of the light from whatever I looked at, like white or bluer sheet. I also have problems seeing for days at a time from blurryness and my left eye is affected sometimes too, not at the same time as right. And my hubby comments on one of pupils being larger than other.
So I guess I m wondering if my migraines are the cause, or the effect. Maybe my eye issues are telling reason I have migraine so much? And does this sound like ON or no, bc on is episodic right? So I wouldn't have aching eyes all the time?
I have had eyes examined a couple years ago and just a mild astigmatism right eye, the on recheck (bc prescription made eyes hurt worse) said oops no astigmatism JK.
Any thoughts welcome. Thanks.
