Migraine or optic neuritis

Im so tired of this eye ache its been a while since last time and now here it is again 😣 I have no idea if its migraine or its optic neuritis. I use blue light blocking glasses on daily basis but my job is mostly with pc and it’s super painful to look at the monitor :( any tips for me?

Hi I am a migraine sufferer have been since my teens but 8 years ago I got Optic neuritis which is when I got my ms diagnosis. The drs were treating me for migraines for a week and wouldn’t have it that this pain was different until I more or less demanded an eye exam. When I get migraines now I do worry that optic neuritis is returning but fortunately it hasn’t so far. The difference in pain for me is migraine is a stabbing pain focused to one area, optic neuritis was agony when moving my eye (looking side to side). Hope that helps, I’ve found Triptans to be helpful for migraines and dr put me on Nortriptyline 75mg it doesn’t stop them but I get fewer. Good Luck, Sam x
