Going back about 5 years before they discovered I had diabetic retinopathy in my eyes, I had really blurry vision for a while and I was suffering headaches from hell. I made an appointment with the Doc who gave me painkilers and I figured I may need glasses so I went to see the optician, but they said my eyes were fine.

Turned out it was Retinopathy which could only be detected by a really extensive eye exam, which I got from a specialist and then things got rolling.

So while I'm not suggesting it's anything as serious as that, it would be well worth getting your eyes checked as if it is a problem with them, that could well be the source of your headaches.

Thank-you Will I'm gonna print this and show it to my Dr next week ..I had a eye exam about 6 months ago and they said I have perfect vision it has just started to go blurry...I have been tested so many times for diabeties but they say I dont have it..Even though I have bad feet and my feet and my ass are always cold {Even when its like 100 degrees outside}.They told me these are signs but the test keeps coming back negative ?? The other symtems I have are my legs are always going numb..They said it was due to the tumors in my back but they shrunk those and It is happening agian ??? I dont know maybe I'm falling apart....I'm gonna keep the valuim cause it does help me sleep and I have insomnia really bad so it is a good thing !!!!

Well as the site seems slightly quicker right now, I'll reply....

I have Neuropathy in my legs (again as a result of the diabetes), and I used to get really, really painful feet until the found the meds to sort that out, but basically it's nerve damage in my legs and I always have cold legs and my feet are like blocks of ice permanently.

For my legs it started out as an epilepsy drug called Gabapentin (sp) which was given as the side effects are supposed to be really good for nerve pain, but they made me really sick, so they switched me over to one called Amitriptyline which has similar side effects and that works really well for me.

I have had both of these drugs before and none of them worked...The Gaba I was taking 800mgs twice a day and the only good thing about it was I felt like I was loaded all day but my legs still hurt ??? IDK what is goin on but I think they are related to the tumors pressing on the nerves they say it is not but without a cat scan IDK how they can say that is not what it is
