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.

I threw out the b.C.
