Ouchies. I hope you feel better soon. It could definitely be eyesight related; I know I can always tell when I need new glasses, as I find myself getting headaches doing computer stuff or watching TV.

LOL a bit at your mom's advice, only as I find those in the health field tend sometimes give friends and family members odd advice. Or, it seems that each year they pick a remedy, and continue to suggest that same remedy to everyone, all year long, regardless of the issue! LOL.

My mom's a retired nurse, but very much into homeopathic medicine, and natural cures now. It's actually quite wonderful, she's given me some great advice. But, I know it varies greatly from person to person. I have a friend who's mom is in the medical field, and one year all she told everyone was to drink green tea and not eat wheat. Regardless of what the problem was! :-P
