Headache, Head & Eye Pain groups
Pain in the head, eyes or ears is hard to set down. You cannot rest it the way you rest a sore knee, and bright screens, noise and even conversation can make it worse. Most people get told it is stress and sent home, which does not help at all.
Groups for head and eye pain exist so you can compare notes with people who know the difference between a bad headache and a migraine that wipes out two days. Members talk about triggers, what they keep in their bag, how they handle work and family on a bad day, and how they describe symptoms to doctors so they are taken seriously. Reading quietly counts as joining.
Which group is right for you
Pick the group that fits where the pain lives.
- Conjunctivitis Support & Recovery — For red, itchy, gritty eyes from conjunctivitis, including the practical side of getting through a week of it with work or kids.
- Earache Support & Relief — For ear pain of any kind, from infections to pressure and pain that comes with colds or flights.
- Eye Pain Support & Relief — For aching, burning or stabbing eye pain, strain from screens, and the worry that comes with pain near your sight.
- Headache Support & Relief — A general headache group for tension-type headaches, daily headaches and the ones that do not have a name yet.
- Hearing Loss Support Group — For people losing their hearing or adjusting to hearing aids, and for the frustration and isolation that can come with it.
- Migraine Warriors – Support & Relief Circle — For migraine, with its light, sound and nausea. Members share trigger diaries, rescue plans and how they explain it to people who have never had one.

Joining takes a minute
Each group is free with an ItHurts account. When you click join you will be asked to log in or register, and after that you can post, reply or read along in peace. Be kind to each other, do not offer medical advice as though you were a doctor, and do not use the group to sell anything.
Where to go next
Start with the tension headache guide if headaches are your main complaint. Eye masks, tinted glasses and other things members discuss are on the headache, head and eye pain shop page, and the free Pain Check-Up can help you keep track of patterns.
A sudden, worst-ever headache, headache with fever and a stiff neck, new vision loss, weakness or numbness, or head pain after an injury needs emergency care, not a group. ItHurts groups are peer support, not medical care.
