Any hope for migraines and astigmatism?
Hi, I’m just looking for some support/advice right now. I literally just got diagnosed with chronic migraines with aura less than a week ago by a neurologist, as well as diagnosed with minor astigmatism/nearsightedness by my eye doctor just a few days ago. I started this journey because back in October I suddenly had intense bouts of light sensitivity and severe dizziness. I started taking nasal spray every day as prescribed by an ENT and that helped a ton but obviously has not 100% made everything better. (We still don’t know why this helps lol, but it does).
I still get daily headaches, largely triggered by bright light and bright screens, and sometimes I get quite dizzy still (though again, it’s a lot better now). I’m getting glasses soon with an anti-glare coating to hopefully help with the light triggers.
Anyways, I just feel really frustrated and upset. I had a huge migraine with dizziness this evening and it makes it to where I can’t really do anything when I feel that way. My eye doctor said it’s unlikely that my prescription (as it’s so low) is causing my migraines. Does anyone have any advice or words of wisdom? I just need to know that things get better, as in these moments I feel really hopeless and scared.
