silent migraines

I suffered with really bad migraines as a teenager like horrible like couldn’t move an inch eat open my eyes or anything. But some of the symptoms and such I get now and the neurosurgeon brought up a couple months ago that my symptoms sound like migraines but I never knew of having migraines without pain and wonder if they’re the reason for some of my weird symptoms but of course I bring up anything besides panic and anxiety to my PCP it’s not that even though this “panic and anxiety” feels so much different then it ever did before

Hi Adam, years ago I suffered intense migraines a couple times a month interspersed

by muscular contraction headaches. Once my migraines left, I occasionally get what

is known as "ocular migraines" No pain but flashing lights seen out of one eye. It usually

lasts for about 10-15 minutes. It has to do with a spasm of blood vessels behind the eye.

Not sure what your Neurologist addressed with your symptoms. But quiet migraines

are possible and probable. :) xx

Hi

I also suffer migraines. They got to the point where I had to use injections or I wasn't able to go to work etc. I would have one day of pain and two days of feeling out of it.

Quality of life was certainly effected
