1. No, i don't use spectacles. Got my vision checked 2 months ago and was found okay.
2. I used to work for about 3 hours in a stretch on laptop but since the eye pain, i can hardly use the laptop/tv for an hour.
3. CT was done a month ago. Unfortunately, i cant access the reports.

Currently, one side of my body(neck, both limbs, usually right side) hurts along with the eye. I am also feeling nausea in the morning for the past few weeks.
Please note that i have hypothyroidism and i take 50mcg thyroxine daily Consulted my endocrinologist recently who didn't find any changes in the thyroid condition and advised to continue with the current dosage.
Thanks.

Brief Answer:
It is like a migraine

Detailed Answer:
Hello ,
I have studied your case in detail and I think that you are having Migraine attack . This is a different variety of migraine in which eye pain is also associated. I have following suggestions for you.
1. First meet a neurologist and discuss about this condition.
2. He will prescribe you Paramet tablet and may be Sumatriptan. These are drugs for such attack.
3. Migraine is usually associated with sleep deprivation, missing your breakfast or lunch, eating certain foods like chocolates,You have to observe and avoid such triggering factors.
4. Get a serum B 12 estimation and Vitamin D3 ,which can be low and cause weakness in bone and pain in limbs. Take tablet Methylcobal and CCM after discussing with your doctor for deficiency of these vitamins.
I hope these steps will help you in pain relieving. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
Thanks.
