Eye Pain and Migraine

I am a healthy 31yo female with no history of migraines. After a trip to the mountains for my anniversary I came back with a awful headache. By the next day it was a full blown migraine. So I went to my primary dr, Imitrex and Prednisone is what I'm given. After 48hrs I went to the ER, IV migraine cocktail and sent home with a few meds. Nothing helps. 48 hrs later I'm back in the ER, IV migraine cocktail again and sent home with Valium and Naproxen. No help. 48hrs later I went to Prompt Care, asked for a shot of Toradol and Benadryl, plus a RX for Toradol and Reglan. 24 hrs later most of the pain is gone. Another 24hrs and I'm finally better.

Well now, about a week later, I'm dealing with extreme eye pain, no migraine, just eye pain. Finally after a week I cant take it any more and I'm back in the ER. IV Toradol again and told I need to see an Opthalmologist and Neurologist ( I knew that much at that point). The Opthalmologist I would like to see is booked thru January and I have not yet called a Neurologist yet.

Any one had these issues? Any suggestions??

    just wondered sometimes but rarely some people put on dark glasses when they suffer headaches or migraines to take some of the light out.Maybe try that?

    Hi MrsCook,

    I'm wondering if the fact that your trip to the mountains has any bearing on this. Depending on how high you went and for how long, could this be linked to altitude!

    I've heard of similar illnesses as a result of higher altitudes. Why not mention this in any future consultations, it may help in finally treating you, I sincerely hope so.

    By the way: many congratulations on your anniversary! Very best wishes,

    Sue
