To make a long story short, I have an eye problem where I don't see out of my right eye as well as the left. A dr told me 12 years ago that I would eventually need surgery. For the past 2-3 years, I have been getting migraines. I had an MRI, etc, and the neurologist told me they were probably hormonally related.
Lately, though, I am wondering if maybe it is not just eyestrain (left side compensation, possibly?) because they always occur on the left side of my head. They seem to appear most often when I am tired, which seems to indicate that it is either a tension headache, or that my eyes are tired as well. They also seem to appear during hormonal times, such as when I was pregnant. Rx migraine pills do nothing--ibuprofen helps the most. They feel like tension headaches, except only by my eyes.
Glasses help only a little, and so does taking an iron supplement. (Negative test for anemia.) Both things seem to prevent them but I have to do both.
What sounds the most reasonable
