I've never had a headach settle in my eyes like this one. A migraine will make my eyes sensative to light, but this time, my eyes just hurt light or no light. Even my eye sockets were painful to the touch. Nothing made the pain any better (which is typical of my migraines).
I'd been having some pains in my eyes off and on for a month now. The past two weeks I'd been experiencing a relatively minor flair which included an increase in the eye spasms.
I see my neuro next week and I will ask her about it, and the issue I had with my eyes just a few weeks ago, see if there's any correlation.
Do you think the headache was related to the flair? The flair started to improve Tuesday when the headach was gone.

I think you should go see an opthalmologist as soon as you can. Dont make just a regular appointment, call them, tell them what kind of pain and where it is, and ask if you can get in to see someone as soon as you can.
It may be nothing, but when you've got MS and you suddenly get pain in your eyes, it doesnt hurt to be cautious about it and go see the opthalmologist as quick as you can. (not an optician)
Do your eyes hurt when you move them side to side? Would you consider it the worst headache you've ever had?
Get it checked out as soon as you can.
