If you wear glasses and get daily headaches, it might not be the prescription!

Come along for a winding tale...I& #39;ll bring it back around, I promise.
Two and a half years ago I started anti-depressants. I started having headaches at the time.

Also at the time I was drinking a freaking ton of caffeine because I had recently had surgery and anesthesia affects me for a long time afterward.
So I looked it up and caffeine can interact with Cymbalta in some cases. So I stopped drinking caffeine cold turkey which suuuuucked.

Headaches didn& #39;t go away but I thought they seemed to get better.
Cut to two and a half years later. Have not had caffeine this whole time.

It& #39;s post-covid now. Headaches have come back with a vengeance every single day. What could be causing it? I really didn& #39;t have a clue.
But I did need new glasses. (I told you I& #39;d bring it back around.)

And the glasses came in, I made a comment to the optician that the arms seemed a lot straighter than with my old glasses.

AND SHE SAID THIS...
"Well, we don& #39;t like to curve the arms too much around the ears if we don& #39;t have to. They can hit the mastoid and cause headaches."

Me, realizing I got these these glasses at the same time as all that other stuff was going on: https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ€Ż" title="Explodierender Kopf" aria-label="Emoji: Explodierender Kopf">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ€Ż" title="Explodierender Kopf" aria-label="Emoji: Explodierender Kopf">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ€Ż" title="Explodierender Kopf" aria-label="Emoji: Explodierender Kopf">
I& #39;ve had these glasses for a week now and headaches are noticeably less frequent.

Today I had plans but I was incredibly tired so I broke my no caffeine rule. I had 4 Coke Zero& #39;s with no headache.

IT WAS MY GLASSES ALL ALONG AND I HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING THAT!
All this to say, if you wear glasses and have headaches, maybe get the earpiece adjusted! Here& #39;s a picture. You can see the old one on the bottom is way more curved.

If this helps one person, I& #39;m happy! These headaches were a nightmare and so was being unable to have caffeine https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😁" title="Grinsendes Gesicht mit lĂ€chelnden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Grinsendes Gesicht mit lĂ€chelnden Augen">
