Migraine

[brb]

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.

Sounds like a brain tumor.

Thankfully mine is temporary and definitely a precursor to a migraine. ****ing weird though sensation though, sometimes I quite enjoy the visuals. But overall it's not a pleasant experience.

I get some random **** where my left eye blacks out for half a second and I lose my balance.

Always be prepared to challenge your doctor if you are still not happy or the condition worsens.

That usually happens to most people after 14 pints mate.

I've got a couple of mates who are GP's so I've spoken with them about it. tbh the medical profession are a bit in the dark about the causes.

Thankfully I don't get them too often. And can go months without an episode, but just had cluster of them this week and wondered if anybody else on here gets them ?
