Hello and Welcome bholmes 2011,

I'm glad you've found your way to the headache forum. I'm sorry you are dealing with pain and the often frustrating task of figuring out how to help it. It sounds like you are getting good care and at least some reassurance on your eyes.

Before considering something like surgery for the cyst you may want to consider any med options you haven't tried such as beta-blockers or nortriptyline. Some people respond well to Botox. Vit D is important for nerve health, supplementation is often needed. Low levels can contribute to pain. Also be sure you are avoiding trigger foods for migraines: aged cheese, red wine, cured meats, vinegar, citrus, chocolate, pizza, etc. Geez, all the good stuff...

Make yourself at home. There are many wonderful and supportive people here.

I hope you find relief soon,
