I have had the worst "eyegraine" all day today. I can't seem to get rid of it. It feels like someone took my eyeball, pulled it and stretched it out really far and then snapped it back into my eye socket
( Read more... )
i have occasionally pulled eye-muscles. like, i look too far in one direction with my eyeballs, so then the ocular muscles actually HURT.
i also have had a couple ophthalmic/ocular migraines...which are really weird, because rarely does actual PAIN occur with those -- i saw a weird "shower" of sparkles in my peripheral vision... like seeing fireworks... so of course i googled that symptom, and that could also be a symptom of retinal separation (which can cause blindness, basically). so i called the eye doctor and they had me come right in, but everything was fine. turned out it was an ocular migraine.
hope you feel better! and yeah, having migraines on a regular basis SUCKS. i get them with EVERY cycle. hormonal. nothing i can do but dope up on pain pills, because since they're related to hormonal shifts associated with my cycle, regular migraine preventatives don't have any effect.... and i can't take those, anyway, because of my heart condition/medication! so the only way to regulate the hormonal migraines is to go back on the pill, which i don't want to do!
in fact, i had a migraine this friday (while working at MAC at Nordstrom) and yesterday. and then i get what i call a "migraine hangover", which is where i don't have a migraine anymore, but i feel sort of... well, hungover... out of sorts.
