Chronic Migraines AND Treatment for wet AMD

Is anyone diagnosed with Chronic Migraines and believe that there's a link between getting eye injections and chronic migraines? My Retina Specialist says no. However, as a patient of both I believe that there is a connection. I have been diagnosed with Wet Macular Degeneration January of 2009. In my late 20's I was identified with Dry AMD in both eyes. Nothing changed until 1/2009 where it turned to Wet in my left eye.
I had migraines a long time before getting a diagnosis and the identification of Chronic Migraines. However, I feel that my migraines developed around the time I first started treatment of eye injections.
I can't help but wonder if any one else has experienced this.
