Research on the visual patterns that foreshadow migraines may reveal clues on how painful headaches arise from the brain even though it has no pain receptors.
Yes! I get started getting these a couple years back. Such a different sensation than a standard migraine. Like a march of color inversions across my field of view in little splotchies.
Thankfully, sleep is forever and always my go to treatment for it.
Tho, the first ocular migraine I had, I told my mom to call and check on me in a few hours to make sure I wasn’t dead. Very scary the first time.
this is exactly what mine look like.
mine fade in from a small point to a large dead spot and then fade back out to clear vision. when my vision is totally clear I know that I have about 20 to 30 minutes before the pain comes. it starts out as a dull ache and then gets to the point where I’d rather be dead over the course of half an hour or so. they typically last 3 to 4 hours.
like another user said I found that just going to sleep is the best option.
I never had a migraine until I was almost 30. I used to get regular headaches when I was younger but they weren’t bad at all.
now I get these fucking migraines. lol
at least they give me a little bit of warning though, I guess.
lol mine went away too. i had a good 5 or so years with no issues at all until the migraines started. luckily they’re very infrequent so i can’t complain.
kinda funny your stomach starts turning as an indicator. it’s so weird how different things are connected—especially when it comes to our brains.
Are these the same as ocular migraines? I get them every few years.

I had my first one recently, and yeah that’s the vibe haha. “oh I guess I’m dying, or losing my sight. Great…”
