ok, well every now and then i get these really really bad headaches, my eyes get very sensitive to light and even the slightest noise makes my head pound. Now iknow the cause of these headaches isnt from my vision, because ive had my eyes checked many times and i do wear glasses. What can be causing them? thanks 4 ur answers

I had the same problem. I had all these headaches and we had no clue what caused them, but my eyes kept getting checked out - to no avail. The headaches are horribly painful - I used to want to scream but couldn't because it would make it hurt more!!

Eventually we realised I had migraines. When you have medication for them, they can be completely controlled. Sometimes migraines will have side-effects too - I feel sick and dizzy and my vision fades out with mine. If you have any other 'extra symptoms', mention these to your doctor if he diagnoses you with migraines.

They also tend to come in clusters, so you'll get a lot for maybe three months or even three years and then they'll disappear for a long time.
