Re: Occular migraine?
My migraine attacks were vicious in my 30’s ,described by a consultant as “ classical migraine” because of how I described the aura . ....this is what comes before the head pain .Re: Occular migraine?
I had terrible megraine ,so much so I was even sick driving home after work from BT. Get home and straight to bed only to have the same thing next day and nearly every day. One of the reasons I left BT the pressure was too much they put on you. Six months later with our own business that megraine died down and the pressure/stress on us was only what we put on ourselvesRe: Occular migraine?
Thanks all for the information and reassurance that this does not mean I am going blind. It seems this is more common than they say. My main worry is that I have an old retinal scar which is outside my peripheral vision and I think may have happened when I had an anaphylactic shock years ago. So my first thought was that it was detaching but apparently that has different symptoms. Of course you cannot easily look up anything online when you're in the middle of this!Re: Occular migraine?
I'm so relieved to read I'm not the only one to suffer what I call "looking down a kaleidoscope mixed with dagged lines" vision about ½hr before a migraine hits. I've been suffering these since I reached puberty but have only been on medication for them for the last 20years or so.Re: Occular migraine?
Yes, there is. My current medication is 25mg Topiramate 2x/day with 2x50mg Sumatriptam if a migraine actually breaks through. Topiramate is actually an anti-epileptic drug but it is efficasious for migraines as well. To begin with my Dr started me on Amitriptyline (an old broad spectrum anti-depressant) which knocked me about summat shocking so I came off that after just a month or so and went onto Propranolol but this eventually stopped working. Doc started me on Topiramate about 6yrs ago just after we moved to Worcester.Re: Occular migraine?
