I Saw Stars!

@DianneN One doc looked at my eyes and could tell from that that my issue was migraines. Those headaches exhaust a person. Mine can come and go for a week. I hope yours go easy on you. They also mess with your balance sometimes.

Yep.

Yikes! Thanks for letting me know

Yikes! I'm so thankful the Tylenol worked. I took more before I went to sleep and feel fine today. I plan on relaxing all day and hope it never returns.

That was my first thought as well.

What's the difference?

Yes, I sneeze in the sunlight when I first go outside unless I wear sunglasses. What do you think? The pain was located smack dab in the middle of my forehead.

@DocAndersen I feel awful for your daughter. I'd get them every minute if that was the case for me. I guess I'm not sensitive to light then. Is she on medication? That must be very difficult for your daughter.

@DianneN (my daughter gets them) light sensitivity means you literally cannot be in any light. just a bulb in a lamp makes her head throb. doesn't mean it isn't a migraine, just different than the migraines i know.

Darn! I played tennis and then spent time on myLot. I was tired, too.

@sophie09

@DianneN maybe you were tired, or the migraine just wanna hit you. anyway i am glad you are feeling better now.

Nice to know.

@DianneN My sister had it worse as a kid. She would get real nauseous too. I think it mostly went away when she finally got glasses - it somehow had to do with her sight. She still gets them every now and then, but she takes some kind of migraine medication when she feels it coming - and it doesn't get full blown if she takes the meds in time. Oh wow - how do detached retinas happen - that can happen from a traumatic reaction? Glad you are feeling much better now. Sorry to hear about the person you knew. That happened to me a few times when I tried to find a few friends over the internet. Very sad and shocking to find out they had passed on a while back (and too young!).

@much2say I'm happy your sister can somewhat control it now. I'm going to do the same as her when and if it ever happens again. To be honest, it happened so suddenly. I felt a mild headache, and when I walked into the kitchen a few minutes later, I thought I was developing cataracts or something in both eyes. After a few blinks, my eyes cleared. I went upstairs to read and as soon as I opened to the first page of the book, the lights flashed. Anyway, it's now a thing of the past. I hope it never happens again, but if it does. Thanks. It came as a huge shock to find out about her passing. You know exactly what I mean. It caused such a physical and emotional shock to me.

@DianneN my sister gets them.

@Tampa_girl7 I'm so sorry. It was awful!!!!!

Thanks, Marie. Some say it was, and some say it wasn't. I think it was.

@DianneN If they start more often you need to talk to your doctor. But with all of the things you mentioned happening thats what it sounds like.

Drat! Thanks, Eva. I will now know for sure if it happens again.

@wolfgirl569 Thanks. I certainly will.

I still have a dull knot, but it's so much better than earlier.

@DianneN that is good to hear

@rakski

Thank you. I hope you never have to find out. It was awful!

@Spontaneo A horse stepping on your head. I also had flashing lights that wouldn't go away.

@DianneN What does a migraine feel like?

@arunima25 I did check, and he told me if it happens again to see him.

I've had headaches before, but nothing like this. I thought I was losing my eyesight. My head only hurt in the center of my forehead. I will look it up online, since it only lasted for less than a day. Thanks for the information.

@DianneN Hope it was nothing serious and you checked with your doctor.

Sorry you get them, too. I only took 2 Extra Strength Tylenol and napped. I feel much better today.

@Adie04 I'm still going to take it easy to make sure it doesn't return. It was so awful. I hope you don't get them. Yikes!

@DianneN oh wow, that's good. I don't want to get migraine because, if I get migraine, it's high probability I can get gastric too.... Ugh what's happening to me

Thank you. I do feel much better, but am trying to take it easy.

@jassmine Thanks. I'm going to do that right now.. I shall return.

@DianneN it is better if you stay away from screens for some time. stay safe plz

@DianneN Most migraines are on one side of the head, but you had an aura, which sounds like a migraine. Since it obviously isn't a tension headache, I'd definitely call it a migraine.

The pain was smack in the middle of my forehead. Do you think that could be a migraine?

@AmbiePam

@DianneN your welcome, they really are a bummer.

Thanks so much for telling me. I'm so sorry you get them, too.

@DianneN They are. The only time I saw stars was when I was cycling up a ramp, missed left before the jump, and landed on the back of my head. I landed on my visual cortex, which is in the occipital lobe. This was before concussions were diagnosed regularly. It was a weird experience.

@TheHorse Yikes! How awful for you.

I believe sinus headaches and migraines are different, but glad you don't have them anymore.

It was. Thanks. I rested today.

@DianneN I'm glad you rested.

It may have been, but I am finally free of it. Thanks!

@DianneN great

Thanks so much. I did have plenty of sleep the night before. Perhaps Covid is getting to me.

@jefferson126 No way could I have Covid! Yikes! I’m so careful. Thanks so much.

@DianneN ,take it easy,i believe you were not infected Covid,because you are not in fever.keep optimistic and enjoy your life.
