From my understanding from my neuro-opthomologist, Aide's affects the nerve tissues in the back of the eye as well. This same tissue area is also where migraines affect it. If you have a history of migraines in your family, you are more likely to have migraines associated. The onset of migraines began after 2-3 months after I was diagnosed.

As for joint problems, in the last few weeks I am having difficulty with my right ankle. I have been having losing sensation, and I suspect this is from Aide's. (See archive messages)

Hope this helps

Hi Erin et al, I originated in the UK, but now live in the US. I
was diagnosed with Adie's this past week, after having unequal pupils
for at least 5 weeks. I too have have a history of migraines,
chickenpox, cold sores, water retention, esp. around my ankles, and
yes, Erin, joint pain, esp. hips, and also pain around my ribs. (Also
have sweating, but put it down to menopause, and the heat here, in
Hawaii!) My ophthomologist says there is no relation between Adie's
and headaches! Yet when he shone the light into my smaller pupil,
boy, did it hurt! He says caused by a virus, and no need for CAT
scan or MRI. He'll check me again "in a few months". Will continue
to read the rest of the postings, but just wanted to say, yes, joint
pain..... Aloha, Lynne
