Hi, yes, I've had both iritis, or uveitis as my doctors refer to it, and migraines. The two came along at roughly the same time. I believe inflammation was showing up in a lot of places and my immune system was really struggling.
www.uveitis.org is a great source of support and information.I believe that many people who have uveitis also suffer from migraines, but, many people with migraines have no history of uveitis whatsoever. What helped me so much is giving up gluten entirely. Doctors usually don't seem to be aware of this but a big symptom of gluten intolerance is headaches/migraines. My doctor told me to give up red wine and chocolate...but on my own I learned about the gluten connection. Wow--I am so much better now. I hope this may help and I hope she at least tries it for a month to see if it helps. Please check back in and let us know how it is going for her.
