Occular Migrane

[skinimini]

When I was younger, I had the full-blown migraines--but no aura. The first "ocular" migraine was about 15 years ago and I thought I was having a stroke. Shimmery, jagged, pulsating lights with the inability to focus for a couple of hours. Called my husband at work (he's an MD) and went immediately to an ophthalmologist. Confirmed the ocular migraine--can't remember what the docs call it.

Now I have them a few times a year, but can't predict and never as severe as that first one. No numbness or tingling anywhere else. Although, I did have a typical migraine with severe headache a few months ago--the first one in years. Got the aura and thought everything would be OK in a few minutes. I felt horrible for two days.

I think if there's numbness or tingling, a trip to a neurologist would definitely be in order.

Glad to hear you are feeling better! Definitely best to bring it up to your GP

Visited the doctor today and he confirmed my thought that it was a migrane. I had an extensive eye exam with nothing wrong there either.

Hopefully will get out riding this weekend!!
