Fighting A Losing Battle

Right now, I am fighting a losing battle. There is not much point in being right now as I am starting to have an attack of "aura migraine", yes one more time. Those aura migraines last 20 minutes and it gets worse and worse. So when I start to see "strange" I know it is coming. Difficult to read when the attacks are on. So I will come back later when the whole thing is over. See you!

Not that I know of. The eye doctor told me to watch it and if changes pattern to go and see him again.

@trivia79 The first one I ever had was more than 30 years ago and I thought that the sun did that to me. But later I started to have them in any hour of the day or night.

Hello Marilyn @Marilynda1225, I don't get any pain just the "zigzags".

@Marilynda1225 During all those years that I have had those "zigzags", I never had pain with them.

@marlina zigzags are bad enough but glad they aren't accompanied by pain too

They give me absolutely no pain. But it is very difficult to see because of all those zigzags becoming bigger and bigger.

Take care of yourself. Migrane is intolerant. God knows how you feel when it attacks. I'm scared.

@jaboUK The eye doc told me to watch the time and if it gets to be longer, to tell him about it. But so far, it has always been 20 minutes.

@marlina That's odd that it's always exactly that amount of time.

the only good thing I see is the fact they are short, no point fighting it, might as well go relax until it's gone

That is the only thing good about it: the sort duration of each episode. But they are coming more and more.

Try riboflavin capsules. They cleared up my migraine aura headaches in just a few weeks.

I'm so sorry about your migraines. Years ago I had an aura a couple of times, but only a mild headache afterwards. I'm thankful I haven't had one in a long time. Is there any medicine that helps you? Get some rest if you can.

I'm sorry to hear what you've been through. I hope no more attacks in the future for you. Go, take some rest especially your eyes.
