Over the past year or so, I realized reading, both from an IPad and print media, can trigger a headache. Sometimes I can read for just a few minutes and then occasionally I can read much longer. When I read, my left ocular nerve (i think it's the nerve) right above my eyebrow starts to swell.
My opthamologist said my eyesight with correction is fine. My neurologist recently said reading is a common headache trigger, and I just need to accept it. I have an appointment with a neuro opthamologist next week. Since I have given up so many things in life with chronic illnesses, reading is one of my last remaining passions. I have been diagnosed with ON and TN. I also have a connective tissue disorder (which is probably the cause of my headaches) and orthostatic intolerance/neuro cargenic syncope. Have any of you experienced this problem? Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated. |
