different headache

I had a headache one morning. Assuming migraine I just did the normal routine of meds, dark room, etc. Well it lasted a week and my eyeball was red and hurting. Turns out it was schleritis, painful eye infection. When the meds cleared it up the headache was gone. It's said that so many symptoms of migraine can cause us to miss something else important

  1. you make such an excellent point here - even when there is migraine in the picture, we have to be vigilant that there can sometimes be other things going on that need attention (even if also experiencing a migraine day!) I'm glad you could get it sorted out and I hope that you've recovered fully. Thanks for sharing this with the community - it is a great point for everyone to remember! Warmly, Tracy (Team Member)

    1. - The mix of a week-long headache and the worry over your eye must have been scary and challenging. It’s truly frustrating how easily symptoms can overlap and mask other issues. I'm glad to hear that the medication helped in the end, but I can only imagine how concerning that experience must have been for you. Do take care. Hoping you find relief and clarity on your health journey. Rebecca (team member)
