Gentle hugs rosehip.

I get visual problems in my right eye, I can read thing fine but its like I cant seem them properly, went to the the hospital optician said my eye is fine it's neurological meaning it's a silent migraine, its like having eye goo in the way but its not, those flashing squiggly thing like you've moved to fast all with no pain ?? had a friend who had one and couldn't speak properly so headaches or migraines can be painfree.

I have migrains that are really bad through my eyes. My vision is blurry and i have weird picture flashes all the time. My immunologist has said that it is migrains as my opticion said there was nothing wrong with my eyes.

I have noticed we have a few things wrong the same rosehip.

hugs, kel xxx

I get the visuals and full migraines, if I am extra lucky I am violently sick all the way through too and it knocks me for six for about three days. Absolutely hate them! I've had migraines since I was a small child, but with Fibro they are so much worse. Makes pain levels rocket too. My eyesight is affected, I go hot and cold constantly, sometimes I can't even tolerate water in sips. They are gruesome things aren't they. I feel sorry for everyone who suffers from migraines. I thought they might ease off after the menopause, they did with my grandmother, no such luck!

I call this neon lights as when i get this they are like a zig zag rainbow effect and my vision gets so bad when this happens.I dont always get migranes with it but while it is happening i do get a very weird sensation in my head not a pain but something similar to a brain freeze when you,ve eaten a chunk of ice cream.
