Hi folks, My mom and I have some eye disease in our family. RP and MD. My mom also has a disease that is particular to men (can't remember the name) which I don't share.
She has had these headaches for awhile now. She attributed it to the eye disease or barring that a migraine.
I would so appreciate it if you could take a few to relate the charectoristics of attacks for me to print out. I know she says it is like a stabbing pain, behind an eye (which is why she thought the eye disease was connected)
and no medication seemed to touch it. I have printed relevant medical info, but doubt she will spend the time reading it unless she sees (no pun) others who have similar headaches. Alas she is 63 and feels that most anything I find
on the web is probably wrong so she doesn't put much faith cyber space. She will accept word of mouth testimony though and I hope that she will be inspired to ask doctor about this syndrome after reading your posts. Thanks in advance for your time
If your interested in info bout RP it is on my page. I saw this on the news here in Jacksonville Fl July 15th noon channel abc (I think). Patrice/BAT
