Get off birth control. Use condoms.
That's what i'm going to do. Ever since
i've been on birth control, my headaches
have worsened, I feel sick all the time.
After I stopped it, about a month or two,
it quit.

Actually, the "medication" I was referring
to in my post on the other thread
was....Birth control.
And I should have known better than to ask
my doctor for some. My sister had eye
and head problems when she took it, too.
:-/ but she got kaleidoscope vision in
both eyes. Mine is just foggy vision in
one (if, in fact, that is what's causing
the problem).
But we both experienced the same eye pain
and migraines.
