Migraine Headaches Support Group
Migraine is a neurological disease, of which the most common symptom is an intense and disabling episodic headache. Migraine headaches are usually characterized by severe pain on one or both sides of the head and are often accompanied by photophobia (hypersensitivity to light), phonophobia (hypersensitivity to sound) and nausea.
Be careful with rebound headaches. I know ibuprofin can do it, and Excedrin can cause them, Tylenol and narcotic pain pills, too.
Rebound headaches can be just as painful as migraines. It's a vicious cycle!
I have recently gotten Graves disease and I had eye pain from that. (Hyperthyroid) and if left untreated, it causes problems down the road.
By the way, "Graves" sounds worse than it is. It is very treatable.
It could be a few other things. Dry eyes maybe, and the pills exsaperate it, and all you need is drops.

Sometimes I don't get the headache- just the eye pain.
