Hello.......First time I've attempted to open a new thread etc.... so forgive me if it's all awry.
I've suffered from migraines for about 23 years now. (I'm 38)
And I've always had the classic zig-zag multi-coloured flashing lights and temporary blindness. But, recently, I've started getting 'Complex Migraines'. These consist of the disturbance in one eye only, and not blocking the vision completely, but having an opaque "stain" or "blotch" appear in part of the visual field. Now, the classic auras usually last for about half an hour, then fade. But these ones can last up to 2 weeks!
I've always had the odd flash, or dark dot appear then fade within seconds or minutes and I've always attributed them to tiredness or just some quirk in the retina or cerebral area, and due to them not causing any damage, being unconcerned.
But, it turns out that, even the slightest little dot, has been a migraine. Which would appear that I have suffered forms of migraine, about 5 or 6 times a day!
Today, I went to the doctor and got a thorough diagnosis, ("It's not retinal tearing is it Doc'?") etc..
and I was prescribed some pills that eradicate the visual annoyance. I was utterly relieved and pleased I can tell you!
Has anyone else experienced stains or blotches/dots in the eye/s and seen about it? If so, did they get it seen to, and was it the same thing?
I don't want to go into Jacob's Ladder! lol!
