Hi Sarah,
Has she had a recent eye test? Could her
problem be relating to visual problems? I would suggest a thorough eye
screening to ensure there are no problems.
What does her job entail? Is she taking
regular breaks away from her computer to perform other aspects of her role?
I will now stop trying to teach my
grandmother to suck eggs! I’m sure you would have considered all this!
Kind regards,
Rita

Dear All
I have a lady who claims she only suffers from headaches
when at work. She has them every day starting at about the same time. She does
not suffer with this problem when not at work.
She has been under the care of a neurologist and has
had all the usual investigations and has also been tried on numerous
medications. She is now taking a small dose of Amitryptilline at night. She has
had CBT therapy to help her manage with this on a day to day basis.
I have undertaken a work station assessment and all appears
satisfactory. None of her worok colleagues who share her office have any
problems and have to confess am at a bit of a loss as to what to
advise.
Is there anything else perhaps i am not considering
Many thanks as always for your help
Sarah
