I am still holding on to my hope that this all has something to do with a small hole in my heart. Why it's causing so much havoc on my nervous system.... I dunno. The way it was explained to me is the dirty blood that should be filter by the lungs goes straight to your brain with causes some sort of reaction. I am imagining inflammation which would explain the grainy night vision, flashy stuff, tracers, and well the migraines. Still praying this is my answer!!!
I started writing this blog to document my life while I struggled with a so called "RARE" disorder. I have found out the symptoms are indeed rare, however the problem isn't! Migraines have taken over my life and I am on my way to defeat them!

Definite trigger
Fluorescent lights!!! So I had an inkling that my migraines came on full force when I was around fluorescent lighting...... however a weekend favorite of my husband and I is to frequent a local coral/fish store. I remember the last time we went I experienced a migraine, but since daily migraines are not unusual for me I wasn't too sure if it was the culprit. I wore my new sunglasses in, just in case, and I was doing good for a bit. Then I decided I could take them off for a few minutes. WRONG! I instantly felt the pain aching behind my eyes as if they were swelling. I put the glasses back on, but it didn't help...the cycle had begun. By the time we left the place my head was pounding and I was "Out of it". I deal with the head pain 24/7, but when I get the ocular migraines, it's a double whammy. I get off balance and things get really unfamiliar. Even certain words sound funny to me and don't make sense, almost like temporary amnesia.
