I get headaches when I get sick !.!.like sinus infections and strep throat, I get pills from the doctor and it goes away!. I usually have problems with light when I am sick!. The headaches I get from the computer cause me to make my head feel like it is splitting!. I believe that's because I don't use my reading glasses when I'm online, this causes me to strain my eyes to focus causing the headaches!. There are intensity settings on my computer to lessen the brightness and this helps tremendously!. I can usually stay on longer if I do this but eventually the duration catches up with me and I get a headache anyway!. I usually try to use the computer when I am wide awake and this usually stops me from getting these type of headaches!. Something to do with rested eyes I guess!. When I do this I quit after I get my business done and read my emails and delete all the spam I receive!. This alleviates the headaches and cuts down on computer time!. This gives me time to read or watch the telly!. I noticed that I don't get the headaches if I do the last two activities!. Hope I shed some light on your problem!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
