Alyson, Chickie & Chevy-- I get them too. 1988. MRI for brain tumor negative, wanted to put me on Inderal. Said since they weren't dangerous, I'd just enjoy them. Docs jaw just dropped. Course I had to find out history. First identified by two docs -father and son in 1850. Psycheldelic is a very good description LOL. Unusual to have so many in one group.
Chickie when DH c/o pain and swelling later today, have him elevate arm as high as possible, even straight up.
Alyson, that sounds worrisome "quite a few things?"

Man! I had no idea you guys were all troubled by the same thing! Has anyone been told what causes them? One time I was looking at our kitchen clock, and I could NOT tell the time! I thought I was losing my mind..... shut up Cammi! They ARE like psychadelic wavy colored lines! I DID go to an optometrist one time, or whatever he was, and after all the tests, he just said it was an "ocular migraine".... which was not serious....So I guess we just hold on, and enjoy the ride?
Okay..... I'll try and solve this "thing" that plagues so many of us.... Happy rest of Sunday y'all!0 -
I looked it up.... Nothing serious they say....
The last picture is when it is breaking up....0 -

One time driving my school bus some bratty boys were throwing acorns around. One got me in the back of my head. I saw those crazy wavy colored lines for about an hour. Doc said they hit the optic nerve. They got suspended and I was ok.0 -
Spookie....so after the acorn incident were NO NUTS allowed on the bus?
(Glad you were okay)

Well add one more to the ocular migraine group. I had one several years ago and started having them again in the spring. Scared the you-know-what out of me and sent me to my long time optometrist who told me I described them perfectly. Neither he nor my glaucoma doc were concerned. My mom, grandma and aunt all had severe migraines so guess it is what got passed on to me. I will take them over true migraines thank you very much.
Mary - so glad the wedding hoedown went off without a hitch. Hope you're getting a nice rest today.
Welcome to Flatsy and Joy. I've tried reading back but for some reason my eyes are closing. I think it might be quick nap time. If I have your names garbled I apologize.0 -
I also have gotten those optic migraines. That's what my optometrist called them. The first time I got one I was at work and thought I had gotten something in my eye. Tried washing it out and that didn't work. Then I thought maybe I had looked up at the light. My eyes are very sensitive to lights. Knock on wood I have not had one in quite some time now...

Hi all, slept all day after a hard night of dancing-ha-ha. Heels and I do not get along anymore. Wedding was fun, lots of old ladies (including me) were teaching the younger ones the old dances, anyone remember the pony and the monkey?and they were teaching us the newest in line dances. It was actually pretty hysterical. Wedding really turned out very pretty..Bride was not too bridezilla yesterday and ds looked very happy. Got tons of pictures, now just have to figure out how to post them. It was too cold for an outdoor wedding though, but they had heaters in the reception tent, so it turned out ok. Gs was on his best behavior and did really good as the ring bearer, only picking his nose once, and pulling up his shirt to show his muscles a couple times, but all in all he did well for a 3 year old. Tomorrow I start chemo again, if my bronchitis is better,have to call mo in the morning. Welcome to all new hoolies. Anybody heard from Veggy?0 -
Hugs Miss Mary...kick chemo's a$$

Hmmm 6 and counting on the optic migraine---Interesting........The first one IS scarey after that they are just beautiful. All sparkley. Flashing. I'll see what I can find on causes and stats. Actually, they are the "Aura" for standard migraine, we just don't get the headache. Lucky
Mary, so happy you had a great time, and bridezilla was not bridezilla. Cute about GS. Hope Chemo goes well

optic migraines are to be taken serious.......had them....it could be the beginning of a detached retina......it happened to me, and that is how it began, my Opthomologist hold me when it happens to call him. And you can get pain, and if that happens call right away........I find the flashing to be extremely annoying, neither sparkley or beautiful......
So Crog.....they are something to be taken seriously......and my Dr is Chief at Wlls a Eye Hospital in Philly.....have already had 1 laser surgery for a torn retina, and that is how it began......with an Optic migraine...0 -
This was my beautiful view from my front porch this afternoon...

Chick....."double wow".........and some say there is no God.........beautiful....0 -
Thanks to all for the warm welcome. I have been busy all weekend getting ready for surgery but I took some time out to go to a Guitar Blow Out Music and BBQ is was really fun great food great music and great friends. My ears are ringing........ I have never had that kind of headache but it does not sound harmless I agree on checking it out at the Optho Docs I get floaters and he say not to worry as long as I'm not having flashers at the same time. I used to play out late into the night but now and afternoon of fun wipes me out. So silly I love my live music so I just have to go sometimes and pay for it later.0 -
Chicky that is so beautiful.
Don't laugh but I have lost a boob! Well a foob, can't find it anywhere.0 -
You make me laugh I will get to try foobs out after Tuesdays removal. Hope you find it.0 -
Flat my Dr said the same thing.....he is a Specialist....not an Optomitrist....there is a huge difference....an Opthomologist is an MD, an Optometrist is not...as I said....I have to be careful, because it can happen again...more common with age, and if you have already had one....likely you could get a torn retina in the other eye......0 -
Very pretty Chick, but not enough to make me move back.
Alyson, HOW do you loose a foob? I don't have any to loose, but still.......
Frisk the grand kids! That'd be the first place to look Mine would have them too. Boys, 6 & 8.0 -
Miss Alyson...I think this snowman found it.....lol0 -
Chickie hahahaha and u'r view is beautiful.
Alyson who were u playing with---I lost one once--I hardly ever wear them but my cat took it and thought it was a new toy for her. Feel better Alyson.0 -
I just cant wear those things anyway.I'll send you mine, Alyson.

Just call me Joy.... and Mary, I want to hear about the wedding. I love to dance too.0 -
You can add me to the optic migraine list. My mom had a retina detach 3 times before she lost sight in that eye and I'm very near-sighted like she is. When I had my first one, it scared the begeebers out of me. I headed to my ophthalmologist, too. Haven't had one for quite awhile.
Hope everyone has a good week, or at least a good Monday. Me, I am cooking lunch for veterans who live in the Assisted Living where I am one of the nurses.0 -
You guys make me laugh! Best of luck tomorrow, miss Mary. I hope you have your nameplate in your favorite chair.

Count me in on the ocular migraines....though I'm late reading and therefore mentioning them. Mine caused me to not really be able to see much of anything, but after about an hour or so it started getting better and better till good vision returned. Scary the first time......of course, I thought I was going blind and now slowly either.

thanks Ducky for the info..

Morning gals.... kind of amazing that there are so many of us that HAVE had an Ocular Migraine. I never had a head-ache with mine... and they only lasted about 20 min. I know Jackie! The first one I had made it hard to even focus! Couldn't read, or even see the face of a clock.
But since then, about 25 years ago, I only get them maybe once every 2 years or so...And my eyes are still very good.... I only wear glasses when driving.... and I can read the paper, and books without the reading-glasses...... DH HAS to use reading glasses.... And taking him shopping withOUT his glasses is a trip! I have to read all the prices, and usually WHAT it is! One time he picked up this "stuff" out of the Deli.... got home, and I couldn't figure out WTH was over $9!!!! So I called the store, gave them the bar-code, and it was for "Sushi" out of that Deli!
HE did it! He couldn't read what it was, NOR, evidently how MUCH it was...Ha! He just thought it was those Spring Roll rice things...

Chevy hahahahaha U'r DH,, did 2 ever eat it-I know I wouldn't.
And I can't believe so many of u have this ocular thing--I've never heard of it. ever. And it sounds so common. Well God forbid but at leastI know of them now, just in case, cuz I would freak out.
Well I've got to get my business together for any phone calls and organiz my rides for my /dr stuff next week--usually I do that last minute and I get all screwed up so we'll se--Les said they have a service from the hospital too--so if it's done that'll take the worry off of her. So see I have a full day for me anyway. LOL0
