Unknown source of headaches

[squirrel64]

I know this really has nothing to do with ecigs so if I have this in the wrong forum let me know. But I do think it is important for anyone that has experienced this problem.

I spend a lot of time on the internet and especially this forum. A while back I started getting severe migraines and bad headaches. For the longest time I could not pinpoint what was causing this. I did everything from changing my diet, eliminating caffeine, prescription migraine medicine, and countless other trials of the silliest things you could imagine trying to figure this out

So I did some more searching on the internet and read about this guy who was having the same problem and said he cured this by changing the refresh rate of his monitor. So I read on,,, sounded good,,, so I said what the hell... I changed the refresh rate on my monitor from 57 hertz to 75 hertz and laughed to myself and went on about my business........

6 months later........ MO MORE HEADACHES !!!!!!!!! I mean not even 1...... And sometimes I'm on computer 10 or 12 hours a day. I just thought this was amazing and probably a cure for many people that have had similar experiences. I know a lot of people here spend countless hours on this forum and many more so if this may pertain to you,,,,,, try it......... The results are almost immediate.

Most of the time this can be done either by right clicking on your desktop and going to where you can change the resolution of your monitor. Or if you have a program or software that controls your video card you can change it through that.

Hope this helps somebody

Note that this issue does not exist if you are using an LCD screen, since they have no refresh rate. This issue is only relevant to the old type of CRT monitors, and older fluorescent lights.

Hey Quasimod,,, I understand what you're saying..... Believe me I have done more than enough research on this.. I understand both sides of the fence. But I believe there are a lot of people who are more sensitive to refresh rates than others. I have chatted with many people who say this is bogus and many others who this helped tremendously.

I had set my monitor at 75H with absolutely no problems after 3 months. I built a new PC but subsequently forgot about my refresh rate and started getting headaches after 3 days. I forgot about that in my 1st post. After resetting,,,, which was 3 months ago,,,, I've had no problems. And even though it may defy what should be,,,, it works for some. I know it is what it is for me ! Just thought I'd pass on and maybe help someone else... Doesn't cost a thing to try !!
