Erin,
Here's a link. http://www.eyecare-information-service.org.uk/pages/information/disorders/adiespupil.htm
It basically says that the syndrome itself does not warrent that you get headaches. But rather because the syndrome produces changes in vision, this may cause headaches.
I myself was never prone to getting headaches, however, since the adie's, I get them slightly more often than before. So far they are not in the migrane catagory. I'm curious if you already wear glasses, or at least not before acquiring adie's? I try to go once a year for a perscription check or sooner if I notice a change in vision. So far that and a good pair of sunglasses are all I have had to do, and still cope with some near vision difficulty.

I was interested in the number of people who highlight the fact that they get headaches. I do also - more and more. I also went back to the consultant who said that "headaches are not associated with Adies" then I was told that they were PROBABLY migraine. This isn't really good enough treatment ( in my opinion).What has raised my attention is how many of us get headaches - perhaps someone should look to verify the throw away comment that there is no association !!!!PS. Do any of you have joint problems?RegardsErin Sullivan (UK)
