Hootie, my migraines make my eyes hurt, too. In fact, when the backs of my eyes start to feel sore, I know that it's a migraine and not a tension or sinus headache.

AOX81, go to your GP and ask for something specifically for migraines. Call your doctor, tell him you've had a headache for five days, and maybe he'll call something in for you to tide you over until you can see him. My doctor has done that.

Another trigger is the weather. When the barometric pressure changes, the pressure inside your head changes, too. I live in the South, where we have nasty heat and humidity. There's nothing I can do to control that at all.

Eirene--DGP, I'm going to ask my eye doctor about those contacts and glasses (I alternate between the two, depending on whether I feel like fooling with putting in my contacts) for people who work in front of computers. I'm a copy editor, so I'm at a computer all day.

A warning about cutting back on caffeine: Do it slowly, or you'll get a killer withdrawal headache.
