Can the PS3 be responsible for migranes?

[stoppinattwo]

If migranes are not a usual occurrance.

DS has had a migrane since tues (off and on) it seems to fade and then come back with avengence.... Doc prescribed migraleve last night which works almost immediately, PS 3 today for a little over an hour and he now has another headache/ migraine....

im not convinced they are related but at the same time sort of hope it is the reason why because if it isnt the PS3 causing the mgrane I havent the foggiest what is. DS is 11 btw...

could be. i get head achey if i have been mumsnetting on computer too much

well I did wonder he is a keen IT kid and probably spends too much time on the laptop which made me think why wouldheadaches start all of a sudden?

is it like brain saturation?

Dd1 has just got a PS3 and I suffer from migranes, but have not been effected. Having said that, I bet the games/screen size/brightness all make a difference.

could be he has had headachey niggles but thought nothing of it. I have the screen brightness turned down which helps.

He doesnt wear glasses and his eyesight is good he is regularly tested as he gets uvitis. ...

mom...for most of the week it has been a niggle for him with the occasional 9/10 on the pain scale,, similar to my own migraine, I think turning the brightness down could be a good tip, he has had a migraleve 20 mins ago and bingo it has gone.... migraleve seem to send him a bit loopy though...he has gone all dippy n daft

thankyou for your caring words pixie
