:blob_fire I was diagnosed in 2002 while at a routine eye exam. I have Pseudotumor Cerebri. Before you faint it is not a real tumor. But the headaches can be extreme. I was getting severe, unbearable migraines, since the age of 13.
While at the doctor, they found my optic nerves in my eyes to be very swollen. I had some visual problems, and to make long story short I have been seeing eye docs ever since. Even went through eye surgery to remove pressure of spinal fluid that was causing me to partially go blind.
I have a Vp and Lp shunt(vp in my head, and lp in my spine) to control spinal fluid pressure. they would like you to believe that this condition is caused by being overweight woman of child bearing years. Men, children, skinny, fat, everyone is getting it. I have been a pharmacy guinny pig and nothing worked. My headaches are getting worse. Sounds, light, the little every day things cause my headaches to elevate.
Get your eyes checked, just to rule this out. Sorry for venting, My head really hurts, and I see all of you wanting answers as to why do you have these headaches. Just get your eyes checked to rule this out. For your sake.:(
