Visual/Occular migraines

[Barbles]

Does anyone else suffer from these?

I used to have them bad a few years back but when I got pregnant with my daughter I had one more and they then disapeared.......

Until Saturday night.

Not quite sure why I had one when I havent had one for ages but I hoping they dont start up again. Dr Google said you can have them in pregnancy due to hormones.

I know there is no cure as such but just wondered if anyone else had them. No-one i know does and its so hard to discribe the sensation to them.

yes i have them every now and again and they said it was because of the Pill so i changed brand with less of the hormone that causes them (cant remember which hormone) i know when they come on as a tiny bit of my sight goes a bit blurry then i get what can be described as a kaleidoscope flashy thing that disturbs my vision. it gradually gets worse and i just take some paracetemol, and lie down in a dark room then i gradually goes away; i dont get a headache with it. I really got scared the first time i had it but i know what it is now, to do with hormones xx
