Some folk get a stonking migraine after a visual warning..../I never do..,lucky me.

Never had one of those but I do get migraines, I have to lie down in a dark room with no noise and keep still plus I'm usually sick with them as well, can take a few hours to pass and then afterwards I feel like I've just done 10 rounds, horrible things 

I get those ocular migraines, much and as often as you though only at daytime. I don't get headaches though can feel a bit nauseous. Try some paracetamol as soon as it starts next time to see if that helps.

 

Wasn't Ocular the killer whales from Free Willy?

 

Hope that helps  

I used to get these 2 days every month and a few times when i was pregnant with youngest. The visual aspect was always the warning sign and they would sometimes last most of the two days... thankfully i haven't had one for a while now.

I used to get those type too Aimee.....the nausea was the worst .....and felt like a wrung out dish rag after !! Mine were hormone related though ....hrt sourted them out  

Mr B used to get them about once a year or so too Katty .....but ( touch wood) he's not had one for several years now ....

 I've had them a few times, Katty, but not for ages.

I never got headaches either, just a horizontal zigzag line of sparkly lights.

 

yes same here

A few years back I suffered the most horrendous of headaches which led me to lay on the floor bashing my head off it and vomiting in a bucket whilst crying that I wanted to kill myself (dramatic much?).  I had suffered migraine's for years but this was something much worse and nothing would take the pain away.  My partner had to ring A&E after a few hours because I had eaten so many painkillers he was worried I'd OD and they brought me in for a pain injection and said it was a cluster headache.  It was a really scary experience because I did actually believe at the time that dying would be better than the headache.  I never want to experience that again.

Ella that sounds horrible!

Gosh Ells that's horrible.I have my two yearly eye test tomorrow,I'll mention the migraine to the optician,though I doubt it will make any odds..

 

I do remember years ago a workmate  suffered a terrible Migraine that she actually thought was a stroke,blinding headache,numbness down one side of her body,visual disturbance  etc.She ended up at casualty,it was confirmed it was a horrible migraine..scary still.

That sounds horrible Ellis not as bad as yours but that's how I feel when I get a bad migraine
