If you can, try to reduce the amount of visual stimuli on your screen. Too many icons or toolbars, etc. can over-stimulate your brain.

You may try sitting back further from your screen, too.

If your screen sits high on your desk, you may be exacerbating a neck issue as you look up. I keep my screen as low as possible.

You may also need to take a break once in a while and ice your neck. You would be surprised how much neck tension causes head aches.

When I was working on my WC claim, I needed multiple windows open to reference as I composed my appeal. I found that I needed to use separate screens so I could turn my head to see the research screen without having to hide the Word Doc screen. The mental strain of trying to remember which window had which information was exhausting. The multiple screens worked wonders.

Just about any computer can be set up to use multiple screens. Sometimes, you need to add an additional video display card. You can use your mouse to drag and drop information or move the cursor from one screen to the next.
