Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 Hi Maribeth, I can't give any explanation, but the last 2 weeks I have been getting a sharp stabbing pain through my right eye, many times it then shoots through that side of my head. It hurts enough to bring tears and lasts for a minute or two. I will bring it up when I see the endo in March, or sooner if I feel the need to call her. I will also bring it up to my eye doc. I attributed mine to the stress of the holidays, but who knows. Take care, Jody _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 Maribeth, I too get migraines and sometimes they are centered in one eye, and very painful. But it sounds like you'd know if that was it. Wish I could be of help, I know how miserable migraine pain can be. Once in a while it helps me to use hot compresses over the affected eye (I put a damp towel in the microwave for a minute, rolled up). Hope someone else has good ideas for you.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 Hi Debbie, How is your dad doing? Is he home yet? Let me know. I continue keeping him in our prayers.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 Hi Maribeth, I've experienced pain in my eyes believing that it was from my TED. Since I am feeling better and eyes are better I don't get it nearly as much as I used to. I do the same as Terry hot compresses. Happy New Years to everyone! Debbie R.
