The first time I had the migraine with aura, it was quite scary. The aura was like looking through water with various colors along the edge. So glad when that passed.
Are u fine now? I mean , is ur disorder got cured?
@@lovedone7538 don’t worry there’s alots of cures with it I never had any of them tho since I only experience it 1 time
Had this aura only once... utterly terrifying. I think it was because I broke my schedule to get to work super early for a meeting. Had both the missing vision, paralyzed face and marching spasms down the arm and leg. Thankfully nothing worse than a headache after. Great video
The correlation between auras and strokes makes me so so anxious I took up jogging to have a sense of control over the state of my cardiovascular system.
I just got it for my second time it’s the most frightening thing had it for 24 minutes its always on my left side
Colorful description. You are not alone. Some people have made art works showing what their ocular migraines look like. There are book and on line collections.
Dr. Blackwell, thank you SO MUCH for this video. I have never been able to explain to people exactly what the visual fog of migraine is like, and this is such a good representation. I kept telling people, "I see paisley patterns in front of everything, sometimes it is one big paisley."
I love your description; because my nickname is “paisley bro”! I love paisley prints. (My auras first few years looked like yellow honeycombs/spinning hexagons and snowflakes). Nowadays they are the classic crescent.
Pulsating lightning ⚡️
This just happened to me... It's really scary! I had to call the EMS to figure out what was going on. The video really explains very well what it triggers visually. Now my head hurts but I'm glad I'm not having a stroke ☺️
Prevention by avoiding the triggers. Soy, cigarette smoke, perfume, Febreeze. Industrial seed oils and a high carb diet increased my inflammation. Stopping all these things and taking a daily magnesium supplement has cut my migraine frequency by 95%. All without medication. I used to have 3-5 migraines a week, some lasting 3 days. I was a walking migraine. I feel much better.
The thumbnail gives a good representation of the aural field I can barely see in my vision when I get an ocular episode.
Lots of people come to the eye doctor first because of the visual symptoms, which as you experienced, can be quite frightening. With your son it would be good to let his pediatrician or family doctor know. Happy that was helpful.
I have aspergers and synesthesia.
I have been worried all day, because the visual difference i usually have due to the synesthesia, was completely different.
I had like you discribe, a starshaped kaleidoscope, made out of rainbow water. And suddently i felt like i was hit in the head with a hammer. Wich caused my synesthesia to make a bright light, like a lightning. And I have been laying in my bed since, in complete dark.
Im really grateful that i know what it was now, cause im usually not in great touch with my body.
Thank you! :)
I also have synesthesia! I can see music; all the numbers and letters have associated colors. That was all; but after I had a severe case of covid, now I can see smells too.
I am in a few synesthesia groups online; and it seems like there are alot of people on the spectrum that also have synesthesia. Which makes sense, because it is a sensory condition; it seems we process senses differently than most people.
Sorry to hear about your migraine; I hope you feel better soon.
I used to have migraine auras alot when i was younger (11-15 yrs). Remembered seeing the zigzag lines, the headaches would hurt like hell after.
Ever figure out why? I used to get them all the time when I was younger too around that age. Havent had them forever and I partied a little too hard or something and I suffered another one just a couple weeks ago really freaked me out
I am convinced that the oral contraceptives I started 2 months ago triggered my migraine headaches with aura. I already stopped taking them. It was the combination progesterone/estrogen pill
I’ve been struggling since an attack in 2018 that put me in the hospital. They found nothing on my tests and sent me on my way after 2 days. Finally I have some answers. Thank you.
Thank you for the excellent and informative upload.
Wow. You completely described my exact experience. The aura before the actual headache begins, is so like your description. I immediately know when I'm going to have a migraine because of the loss of my vision. Slightly after this I had the squiggly line in front of my vision, then extreme pain in my head. I usually vomit after the headache has begun for about an hour. I sometimes drink like 6-7 beers and I'm fine.
I'm actually doing my grand rounds topic for pharmacy school on the use of Botox in chronic migraine-- this is beyond helpful as the IHS and AAN guidelines aren't as concise as the information you just presented.
Had this last night, first time ever. Really freaked me out. 9 hours in A&E. All tests came back fine. Guest was this.
Wow, thank you! This is the most information I've been able to find. I've had migraines since I was 8, but no aura until after losing partial vision to optic neuitis, caused by Wegener's granulomatosis (vasculitis). I've had them every mo. or 2 since. I just experienced one that left me nauseous & dopey. My chest hurt throughout. Now I feel rather sluggish, like I have a hangover. I thought this was interesting, in light of your findings correlating women/migraines/auras & the vascular syst.
This is exactly what happened to me perfectly described like a kalidescope
Almost everyone has friends or family with a similar experience. You are not alone.
Happend to me after sex ., strange ... too much dophamine i guess . .
@@cbeyedr I'm alone.
I get migraines about once or twice a month, but sometime none for a while. I ALWAYS get visual auras. It was very frightening at first, but now that I understand my condition, and have appropriate medication to abort any impending migraine, they are no more than an annoyance until they go away.
Very well explained. I’ve had aura since around my teens or early 20s. I’m 42 now. It comes probably every few months and last for minutes to hours. Can be very disturbing especially while driving. Comes with a slight headache typically but not always. My wife and one of my sons gets migraines. They have a much harder time dealing with theirs, but they don’t have auras.
I like how interesting this video is.
I have these visual symptoms (and few more) from pre-adolescence, today I've 51. At last, I'm not the only...
I get this on average once a month. It happens only in my right eye. When it first happens, I get a weird feeling that I cant explain, and then my vision slowly develops grey spots and strange patterns within the span of a minute. Then, a minute or two later, it fades away, and I'm back to normal. I've been get this for about seven years now, since the age of 24. When it first happened, I was working very hard at work, and the loss of vision freaked me out. Usually it happens if I'm stressed, or I'm doing something physically exhausting. Ever since then, I find that relaxing my mind and laying down helps the symptoms diminish faster. Honestly, im scared and don't know if this is a sign of something more sinister. I had two small episodes today.
joe Go see your Doctor. I take Paramax powers (from doctor only in UK) while the aura is still visible, this reduces the headache pain by around 95%. My trigger is low blood sugar after ignoring hunger pangs or during and after exercise. Hope this helps
Make sure you're getting in you're electrolytes and eating at decent times while working hard. And yes stress can trigger them too, also food intolerances like gluten, dairy or types of sugars.
One of my very first migraine aura (both eyes with no headache) was interesting. I had been reading a word document on my PC for awhile, when the aura hit suddenly, and the typed letters were contained in the aura sweep. Unsettling to say the least. Most of my auras are jagged edges. I have learne to live with this, which happens at random times, several a year.
Same.
Weird and extremely trippy i hate it
I just had my first one today. I was so freaked out! The eye that had more of a jagged aura has had a headache all day. Not a bad one. Just one that it annoying.
Having one now and watching this caused me not to panic. Thank you for this video..
Do you feel realy out of it after it?
Me to first one , it really hurts
Did you work out the cause. I've worked out mine occurs when I have a high sugar intake.
I have experiences almost exactly like the one described at 2:30 Before I realized that these were a form of migraine, I always assumed the light headache I got during the event was simply due to the strain of trying to read things through the blurriness.
I have the aura with only a mild headache about once a month. It only started after being on the contraceptive pill for a few years which has caused me to have high blood pressure.
Thank you for this video It has helped me link the aura/ headache to the pill and now it is obvious to me that I need to stop taking the contraceptive pill as it is no good.
The thumbnail pretty much nailed it. Weird colored arch shaped triangular zig zag pattern. I only get the visual part. Its really hard to see when its happening. Thanks so much for putting the information out there.
How are you now? Did u'r disorder get cured?
I get the pins and needles feeling in my feet and hands then the i cant see spot then the zig zags that last 15 minutes then they disappear
I sometimes experience the aura all by itself, accompanied by nothing else unusual. I do not get headaches or anything else described that others have while seeing aura.
First time was way back in 1979 when I was in my college dorm room studying. Thought I had accidentally looked at a desklamp, or something bright, that makes a fuzzy glowing spot in your visual field. That goes away in a matter of seconds, maybe a minute. But this time, no, it expanded in a crescent and lasted for several minutes. Ever since, maybe once or twice a year, or five, I don't count. It never interferes except briefly with activities such as driving, walking, conversations. It makes reading impossible for about half a minute. Not a real problem. There is advice about drinking enough water, get enough sleep, avoid too much sugar or caffeine. I haven't noticed, in my amateur zero control group, no record keeping way, any such correlation. For us aura-only types, just enjoy the light show.
A glimpse into the workings of the brain. Anyone working in artificial intelligence, with CNNs for computer vision, might recognize edge detectors and motion detectors. Color is entangled with edges and motions. I don't know if anyone is doing serious research into the details of how aura looks.
Always assumed it was some uncommon but not rare phenomenon involving a temporary imbalance of neurotransmitters or ions in my visual cortex. More and more people are describing this and commenting on these videos. In fact, I made my own very short video depicting aura: v=l_IIt9hJmn4
I hope neuroscientists can find out more, and find effective treatments for those having the entire migraine experience.
What you describe is exactly the same as myself.
First time i shit myself, thought i was going blind.
After i discovered through you tube that it wouldnt make me blind, i now just sit back and enjoy the experience.
I find that bright sunlight triggers my aura's, i dont however suffer from headaches thankfully but do feel tired afterwards.
@@4faxache935 Im exactly the same.
I've had these since childhood. They became fewer and farther apart as I got older, but It's completely disabling when one occurs. I go blind in one eye only, can't think of words to say and 1 or both arms briefly go numb. I can only lay in a dark quiet room! I take supplements & try to eat right/exercise, but have spinal stenosis & DDD and was told muscle spasms trigger them. I don't feel right for a good week or two after having one, and I read where these can damage the brain over time. :(
Was the high blood pressure medication Propranolol? It is one of a family of Beta-blockers that have effects on multiple systems (heart rhythm, BP, ...). Taken daily they can also reduce migraine frequency. Verapamil (Ca channel blocker) also commonly used.
I experience an aura for about 30 minutes then a light headache for about 8 hours. Iv had this condition for as far back as I can remember and I'm 45 now
Had my first one an hour ago. It was her sudden. Just saw very colorful zigzagz and was getting in the way of my reading. Got scared.
I get first the visual aura for 30mins and then the sensory aura. All lasts about an hour net. I get around 1-2 a year... sometimes non.
I've been suffering this things since i was 11...i'm 25 now. Mine are quite severe with an aura that almost blinds most of the time and makes me totally unfunctional. It's horrible, it’s the most frightening thing had it its always on my left side
At last, I'm not the only one 😢now i know what kind of disease i have an its name.
Some couses i got when i search this desease:
Bright lights-Stress-Certain foods or drugs -Hormonal changes - such as during menstruation-Changes in altitude or air pressure-Issues with sleep - lack of, or too much
Unfortunatelt the correct couses of this desease or its treatment is un bridictbale until now
Hope to recover all of us you are not alone
The aura I experience is very similar to the one described here. I also find that I am very disoriented and sometimes I have difficulty reading, in that I cannot identify the words I am reading. It is as if I am reading a language that I do not understand. The first time that happened I thought i was having a stroke.
Hi. Do you also have data regarding stroke prevention measures? Diets, lifestyles, drugs and anything else that, in the long term, decreases significantly the risks of actually having a stroke? I'm aware a healthy lifestyle may have a positive effect, but how "healthy lifestyle" is defined varies, and to what extent is the influence? Precise data would be very appreciated.
I found sugar and carbohydrates cut help me.
I've been getting this lately and been very worried. Get them on both eyes but never at the same time. Either one side or the other.
Me too since 1995. Feel scary during this aura of arround 30 minutes, there after severe headache follows,and vomiting occurs .
I have aura migraines and they are usually brought on from foods with nitrates and nitrites. Usually foods with smokey flavoring always throws me into an aura migraine.
That's interesting. I used to get frequent migraines when I worked at McDonald's and ate there daily. I stopped eating McDs completely a little less than a decade ago, and ever since my migraines have magically stopped. Nowadays it's super rare.
when i go to beďwake up and c clour things on my wall my head so sore
Thanks, I'm planning a trip to see the neuro asap.
How are u now? Did ur disorder cure?
Am I the only one that NEVER gets any sensitivity to sound or light, but ALWAYS gets the aura and throbbing pain?
@Alexis Brantley This is video for people who live with a serious and debilitating medical condition, and you are posting about how you can make money by telling people their partners are probably cheating on them.
Everyone is different, some folks get some, all or no auras with some or no sensitivity.
Me for example i get sensitivity to smell but sometimes i smell things that aren't there. Or sometimes I'll see a light or in one eye i will lose my vision completely temporarily. It's pretty interesting
I get auras at least once a week, mostly with a bad head etc which follows. The right eye always seems to be more affected. I always have a tension headache too which never goes, like a band stretched across my forehead.
Thanks
I have a question. Is it normal to have all three aura symptoms? Blindness in 1 eye, Numbness in the baby finger and ring finger in both hands, and numbness/tingling in lips and tongue. And what about after the migraine. My brain feels bruised, when I bend over or sneeze ect. Right behind my eyes. Both sides. My headaches are bad, vomiting/ usually last only 2hrs after that. Screaming in pain and want to die. I couldn't move if I tried. I've had 3 boys. Would rather give birth.
Mine only has a missing area but i get a huge headache after & my doctors say its ocular migraine , but here he says that when its only a missing area that its a stroke???????
Just get a zigzag in both eyes that slowly travels vertically upwards until its out of my field of view.
Normally gone in an hour and seems.to happen when I have a high sugar intake.
I had several of the gray blindness curtain attacks - AKA AF, or amourosis fugax; a temporary blindness caused by an eye vessel plug/stroke. Always seek emergency care with your retinologist when this type of TIA occurs!! You could lose your vision permanently.
Wow thanks I thought I had a detachement seeing as a doc said sometimes the gel or something detaches from the back of the eye, I didnt have any black or dark area and this has been a few years, I did start having difficulty reading books, far sightedness a year after.
I first had this few years back and don't have headaches I have it on the corner of the right side of my field of vision at the top, fist time I had this I was scared and had it in China when I was very stressed, but just now I am calm and so not sure why these happen, I can't see a pattern, I am coming off paxil and so this may be the reason, i.e. stress, cause I know what this is I just relaxed and watching the video helped me relax, the 'well at least Im not alone' feeling and now its gone, lasted about 5 mins but the first ones were I was scared, I panicked and lasted longer seems like 30mins or more in china, I did have what I thought at first was a mystical experience whilst meditating in the mountains of wudang in china, it was the first day of a short course and that first day meditated 4 and a half hrs, that night in the blackness of sleep I was awoken by a white light so white that it is indescribable, I woke up and sat up sweating and waiting to see if I just had a hemorrhage in the brain after a while fell back to sleep, I told a fellow student and he joked maybe its a tumor and I had that thought in the back of my mind for months, what an idiot that guy was.That was 2004, since then had three of these scintillating scotoma experiences, it could be wear and tear and in my case taking paxil (seroxat) since 1996 hasn't helped (possibly). I did go to a hospital
when one of these things happened and was told that the gel or something at the back of the eye disconnects and causes this, then I searched online and saw that this happens to guys over 85!! I thought no, I want to arrest age not accelerate it!!
How are you now? Did u'r disorder got cured?
I have these sometimes. Mine is a single zig-zag line, yellowish or white-ish in color, that starts out small near the center of my field of vision. It grows in size and keeps growing until it seems to expand larger than my field of vision. It gradually seems to expand beyond the outer edges of my field of vision.
Mine are exactly like that too. It lasts 30 minutes. I have them sometimes very often, up to 4 times a month. You?
I've had these since i was 10 or 11, quite terrifying
Awesome awesome presentation. Thank you so much for sharing this!! I had an aura without any headache last night and wanted to learn about this.
Craig can I ask you a question? My mom hit her head on a shelf about 5-6 years ago and immediately started to get floaters. The same day she saw light flashes and headed to the ER. They checked her out, said she was fine and to follow up with an ophthalmologist. She did and the Doctor told her that at her age (57) it was not uncommon and she didn't have detachment. 5-6 years later, last week, she had some light flashes (as well as her constant floaters she's had ever since bumping her head). I'm trying to convince her to get checked out, but does it sound like there is a possibility of retinal detachment?
She just told me she went to an optometrist for glasses last week, but can an optometrist detect a retinal detachment? Still talking to her about seeing an ophthalmologist.
Anneal, you are exactly right. Light flashes means the vitreous is pulling on the Retina, which is the most common cause of a retinal tear (may be associated with new floaters), which leads to detachment. I would bet the ophthalmologist told your mother to be on the lookout for those exact symptoms and to call promptly if they occurred.
Very accurate i have those migraines earlier
i've had these terrible migraine with zig zag flashing lights everytime i had to go to ER and they would shoot me with gravol and demerol.A doctor gave me rizatriptan and ativan and it works perfectly if i take them as soon as it start then i go lay down for 30 minutes and i will be fine.But before it was intolerable.Thanks to the doctor who helped me.It's the first time i have seen this describe perfectly,thank you Mr.Craig Blackwell
what is DDD ? i experience everything you describe before attack ! Then I have days w/debilitatinng muscle pain ? My Drs. don't know what ?
Thank you for sharing this your voice is so calming and almost takes away all the stress of the issue going on in my life -
I had an episode where my numbness started in my left hand on my last two fingers it was all of a sudden I got very sweaty and it gradually went up my arm and eventually made my left half of my face numb . I got an aura that started growing into a very big arc of flashing light that took over my vision in my left eye . I was so scared I thought I was dying, I felt no headache but my breathing and heart rate also changed I felt like it was hard to breathe. Next two days I felt "off" and not like myself . This happened to me about two years ago as well same symptoms starting with dead numb last two fingers on left hand- I got an MRI it showed a small arachnoid cyst in my brain , I'm just not sure if thats why it happened . Do you think there could be a connection between these symptoms and the cyst?
I don't think so. for me, MRI showed nothing. It happend to me 4 years ago, and then consistently 1-2 a year. 2020 was one year that it didn't happen.
I had the same thing but nothing on my MRI!
I have the same issues with migraine and the aura, the MRI also found a cyst right next to pineal gland. Neuroradiologist said there is no connection between those two.
@@ivagrundmann9034 very interesting I have a arachnoid cyst in my brain somewhere also I forgot the exact spot
@@vernacarlin123 I work as a radiologist technologist and see those well, very often I would say. Cysts don't make any problems in most of the cases and are diagnosed as accidental finding.
Migraine Aura "lasts 5 to 60 min" is wrong, when I was younger I could have the visual aura problem for 2-3 hours.
In my youth I also had problem with speech during my heaviest attacks. I could not form words or sentences in the sense I couldn't find words and/or I forgot how to pronounce them mechanically and the words came out of in the wrong order. And my hearing couldn't detect if the words sounded correct or not, while I still understood others perfectly. During some attacks I also got the sense of being "outside" the body, sort of like dreaming, and when I heard my own voice it was like listening to someone else speaking, so I sometimes interrupted myself because I wasn't sure if it was my voice I heard or someone else speaking to me.
Once when I was about 15 the police arrested me because they thought I was high as I was actually trying to get help from them to get home since my aura was 100% all over my vision. They threw me in a cell, without access to medication, with full lights on and a metal bed with no pillow to sleep on. And I couldn't communicate properly, because of the migraine. They just laughed at me when I showed a card that informed abut my migraine. It wasn't until 2 hours later when my mother arrived with a doctor they would let me go. I didn't even get an apology... I reported them, but nothing happened of course.
As an adult the attacks are much weaker, and I just get the aura for about 30-60 minutes with a following heavy headache.
I have experienced the "aura-only" about four times. The hand drawn images are not accurate. You show a portrait with black, white, flesh-color, and gray. My auras only contain the colors of the original image. My last experience was while reading black and white on a computer monitor; my aura was in black and white ONLY. The original image is somehow scrambled but the original colors are transformed.
I’ve had these for 2 years on a regular basis, but before mine occurs I experience a feeling of dread (Fear) then 3-5 minutes later my left eye just starts to lose its vision, shortly after that I will have a seizure followed by the most brutal of migraines almost like Thor is inside my head pounding his hammer. I’ve been waiting 2 years to see a Neurologist and I have received no treatment by my local doctor all thanks to Covid “pandemic” STILL WAITING!
I wish there was a way to resolve this. The pain is not as big a deal to me as the loss of vision is. EVERY neuro I have been to doesn't want to try and treat the visual aura they just keep going back to the headaches.
It's not necessarily about the aura. There are four phases: Prodrome, aura, headache, postdrome, putting migraine squarely on the seizure-spectrum. It's not always about drugs either. I found that if I started tapping (EFT) at the onset of the aura I could avert the headache but not the postdrome. Learn EFT. It worked for me.
I had this for a long time I just try to ignore it but recently I thought I look on to it and talk to my doctor about it they put through an MRI they found out I had a mini stroke and it left a scar on my brain and they also found a cyst 1.5 diameter behind the right side of my throat, I had and MRI 2011 and the cysts was only 1.0 in diameter it looks like it grows, I dont know if the stroke or the cyst has anything to do with my ocular migraine but right now iam still seeing the doctor their still trying to find out it there's a relationship
I have all of the symptoms. Lucky me
I had twice already this migraine aura
My happens in both or one eye…depending. I get the slit of colors/aura for 20 minutes followed by the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life. It’s like my brain is giving birth, the pain is so intense my body shuts down, I get chills and want to vomit violently. One I do vomit I notice I’ll feel a little better and I’m able to fall asleep…it’s the worst pain in the world and this happens to me 1-3 times a year, randomly and it’s very scary.
Yeah I just had this happen to me the other day for the first time, it was the worst pain I’ve ever felt as a “man”. And I put man in quotations because i was in the shower crying like a b*tch😂
It was just constant pain in the core of my brain. I legit wanted to kill myself because how bad it was. I can’t believe you get these 3 times a year, you’re strong.
Next time I see the little static lighting bolt appear I’m definitely taking 2 tylenols because I know what’s about to come when it disappears.
Hi, the same here 😄
Symptoms and history fit with migraine. You are making a good start with regular diet, exercise and sleep. But, if they are becoming intrusive you might consider seeing a neurologist. They have more tools that might help.
I started a diet 2 months ago and lost like 2 stone I'm now in the 11 stones and since my diet I've been getting them (I have been to the doctor) did anyone else get them after a diet?? It's so strange how it all started when I started losing weight x
My first Aura Migraine was 3 days after Heart Surgery on 4th of June 2022 . The second just happened 4th of July 2022.it only last 10 minutes . Dr Ophthamologist said it can happen again but not to worry. If it happens and I can see black or gray completely covers my eye sight to go to the ER. Immediately.
I had it first time 2 days ago and I’m 45. I’m not on a pill and never had any contraception in my life. What may cause it? How to prevent this happening ever ever EVER again! I’m going to the doctors to find out if that was a hormonal cause of migraine with aura. I had migraine with no aura before I think (just general headaches) but aura happened suddenly 2 days ago. My mother had a stroke in her head at 40 years old. But cannot remember any migraine with aura. I was pretty scared, I thought I was having my retina detached. But it was exactly as it was described in this video followed by mild headache localised in my temple and right eye.
I had my 1st a month ago and had another 3 within the month. I.m 49
Just wondering what the outcome was for you and do you still have them?
@@malpaslandscapes8444 No, I never had a repeat of that. My mother said it’s all because of blood pressure. Also I noticed I was sitting in the bed a lot with my head tilting forward, so I started doing massage on my neck to improve oxygen supply for my brain. That lowered my blood pressure. Also I excluded a M&S chocolate which actually caused me vertigo. And I started taking Magnesium: Neuro Mag and other vitamins. And started lowering cholesterol which was high.
When I have a high blood pressure (when I have flashes, red cheeks, shivering and have cold hands etc) I drink rose hip tea, valeriana, give a warm bath to my feet and go to bed. Doctors didn’t prescribe me lowering blood pressure drugs because when I visit them my blood pressure is always fine. But I measure it at home.
I described the most common symptoms, but there is quite a variation, and your experience is not uncommon. Some people also have changes in sensation or speech depending on what part of the brain is affected. All can be scary the first time. Significant change in pattern is a reason for a conversation with your doctor to be sure it isn't one of those other things.
I started eating heathy and cutting down on sugar and the next day at night I was frozen standing up from the severity of the migraine I had.
I just had one...waiting for the pain to kick in, the exact same triangles have passed though. If this is your first time you might get REALLY scared, relax, it is a pretty picture
How are you now? Did u'r disorder get cured?
At full development, mine seems to cover the entire area of vision in one eye. I need to close that eye and use the other, while still seeing the scintillation in the closed eye on a lesser scale. It seems that these scintillations are brought about by exposure to bright lights. Similar to what happens to most people when exposed to a camera flash. However, the light does not need to be that bright for mine to occur. And they last anywhere from 1 to 3 minutes (maybe a bit longer on some occasions). In addition, I'm sure that I am also suffer from what I just learned is called "Visual Snow". Where I have permanent squiggly germ like lines (floaters) and continuous flashes of light (stars). Usually, the only time these affect my field of vision, except when I look to the sky, and I see all the flashings of light, and see the floaters more clearly. My night vision seems to be getting worse because of this vision. My night vision is the same as the static that one would see on a television, referred to normally as snow. Is there any way that I can get relief from either of these symptoms? My optometrist seems to pooh pooh my conditions, saying that everyone gets those from time to time. I'm not sure I am getting my points across to him. Would it be better to discuss this with my primary physician?
interesting. it seems to be a lot like my symptons :(
If light is a trigger and you wear glasses, talk to a provider about a tint for your lenses. I've talked to some that has worked for.
Dear god i'm not going crazy :) Mine is like a fractured piece of ice with water moving along the cracks, just offcenter of my vision.
Whether people like it or not, these stem from both psychical land psychotronic attack mechanisms.
What do you mean?
very interesting. In 2011 I had a TIA that I'm told was a result of a blocked right carotid artery and low blood pressure. I get these semi circle auras but not the headaches. I am anxious to see the resources you have.
I notice when I get the auras that I also have a sense of vertigo when I move my head.
I also get the vertiho. Sometime hours before the aura.
You seen the colorful zigzag lines when you had your tia ?
My problem
No solution
Plise sar problem solv
my was aura then pain but these days iam now 37 no aura but migrain headeach

Sadly, I don't think so
Had it a lil different than the people say it was more curved alonge the furthest right side of my vision it had no colour and was definitely moving like water flowing but speed up in that are I couldn't see at all not like when u close ur eyes imagine if you were playing football and ball is passed from left side to right side and when it reaches the right side it just dissapears can see everything around it but not the ball and mabey the legs basicly it's vierd and I was yelled at for playing bad but imagine trying to explain them that I can't see lmao
You would be experiencing one way migraines can evolve over time. Change in symptom pattern is something your doctor would monitor. "Worst headache ever," particularly of sudden onset, is a red flag to your doctor to worry about ruptured aneurysm, and a short list of worrisome things; thus the CT Scan. Interestingly, pain usually decreases with time for reasons not yet known. Hope yours stay quiet.
Imagine surviving a zombie apocalypse and this appears because you haven't eaten anything yet
There is a lot in your question. A light flash is not an uncommon migraine trigger. "Entoptic" phenomena is a name given to several visual experiences, including small squiggly fast-moving lines seen against a bright background like the sky, which are white cells highlighted in retinal vessels. In general you see less well at night because you are using rods, rather than cones. You might want to check in with an ophthalmologist if your vision seems to be decreasing or you have more questions.
When I first got them when I was 14-16 yrs, they used to be pretty bad but lucky only lasted about a day and got them about every few months. After i joined the Army around 21 yrs they stopped being so bad and sometimes didn't even get bad headaches felt only light head and some what dizzy and only got them maybe once a year or even longer.
Is this natural or maybe all the stuff the Army put in me or does exercise have anything to do with this?
Hello Dr. Blackwell, I would like to know if a pituitary micro adenoma can cause constant migraines? Thank you.
Is Marijuana is really helpful in that i have such problem migraine with vision problem at age 15 to 18 after that this ocular migraine disappeared from my life due to using marijuana this is third time when i try to left marijuana now i m 31 after i quit marijuana with in three months these strokes started now i have 10 strokes with in month can any one guide me about that situation.
I experienced the aura every time I took a"doctor-prescribed" lisinopril. Don't want to experiment further/
Multiple aura symptoms maybe not typical, but not rare either. Vision loss should be on the same side of vision from both eyes. Tingling of fingers, lips and tongue not uncommon. The pain with bending and sneezing were attributed to the now discredited vascular theory, but they are still a puzzle. Your Headache description is unfortunately common, but pain on both sides is not typical and is a reason to talk to your doctor. Also there are a number of meds that abort or help 80% of headaches.
Degenerative Disc Disease, and it took an MRI to figure it out. You may have to request one!
I have it again! I lost my vision. I feel retarded. I can't remember things and I have the numbness in my right hand and now my mouth. I'm so tired of this! What can be causing this? I hate it when I have this at work!

No medication for me thank you!
It sugar and carbohydrates
oh thank u very much.....now i know what kinda disease i have..,,,.,.and this aura is damn irritatiing
How are you now? Did u'r disorder get cured?
I get the zig zags with caffeine consumption
Eliminate all dairy products from your diet and increase your daily magnesium intake (twice a day, 400mg AM and 400mg PM), and say bye bye to migraines. And I suggest "Paleo" diet or "Vegetarian Paleo", for the ones who don't eat meats. It's as simple as that.
Yep. It is. It's not an opinion. Is a proven fact. I'm living proof of what I wrote. I weighed 180 pounds last year. In 3 months, after I started Paleo, went down to 146, and stayed there. It "Just Works (tm)"
And no more visual auras, after removing all dairy products from my diet.
How long did you wait? It's not immediate. It takes several months.
I found cutting sugars and carbohydrates stop mines. Keto diet works for me including using lots off green leaves a d veggies. I eat dairy, meat, fish, veggies.
Stoped sugar and carbs.
My symptons when i first got them 7 years ago lasted for 1 week vision loss then followed by 2 weeks of headaches. Now the vission loss lasts for about 5-6 hours while the headache last for 2 days. I feel un-focused and confused for about 2 or 3 days after having an attack. also i get the loss of vision in both. I've never had it in 1 eye only. Never.
Ask your doctor for elavil
I use elavil and it was a life saver
How are you now? Did u'r disorder get cured?
*neuritis ... and other typos -- sorry.
when i get a migrain of i look at the left side of a person theor tight eye is gone lol
It's like walking inside of a cubist painting!
These thumbnails really need to stop having those zig zag lines that's not fun to look at 😅😅
Just don't let a Doctor prescribe Topamax ! That stuff is the worst ever. I think that stuff gave me a Heart Arrhythmia. I started getting extra beats about 2 weeks into the medication among other bad symptoms. My Heart hasn't beated correctly since. I'm doubting just Coincidence of the Heart issues and this med. Please avoid it or do research on it first like I should have done.
