Anybody else on here experience them ?
I get what are called silent migraines, no actual pain, just massive visual disturbance and then feeling completely washed out for the remainder of the day. Starts off with a sort of blind spot in my right eye, almost like when you've accidentally looked directly at the sun, it then develops into a zig zig snake like pulsing and flashing band, that gets bigger and bigger until it fades out of the periphery of my vision.
Whole thing lasts about 30 mins. Sometimes I can get along with the visuals, but often they happen at the most inopportune moments, like driving the van. So I just have to pull over and wait for it to pass.
Anyway, anybody got any tips ? I got prescribed some nasal spray thing from the GP once and it was ****. I've also used Feverfew which helps a bit. But I'd be keen to hear other people's experiences and anything that's helped.
