hey bros, I know the obvious thing to do is see a doctor, but shits expensive so I thought it wouldnt hurt to ask if anybody has heard of anything like this. Ive already facebooked and "see a doc" is the best I could get.


Anyway, I've been getting migraines about 1-2 times a week this summer. I've been blaming insane Nebraska humidity, and the doc prescribed me a new med called Axxert, he said it might be humidity, stress, barometric pressure, etc... not important.
Anyway the last week or so, my visions been kinda wacky. As I'm writing this, there are kind of atmospheric blankets of light around my monitor. THe best way to describe it I guess would be to say that everything I look at leaves after-images in my vision, in the way those little pictures work- you stare at a picture of a ghost or whatever and then look at the wall and oooohhh the after image of a ghost is on the wall!
Anyway, even a brief look at a lamp or a chair or anything leaves an after image. THere is also some sensitivity to light, which is a little annoying. Weirdly enough, I don't have much problem with my vision if I'm wearing sunglasses, but that doesn't really put me at ease. I guess it wouldn't be too bad being Cyclops for the rest of my life but it may be a shorter one...


So I went to an optomitrist? Eye doc? I went.
They did an hours worth of rooting around, apparently not only in my eyes but in the back of my brain where vision is taken care of... Found nothing. Apparently when I get older I will be high risk for glaucoma, however. Whoop whoop!
Doc says if this thing with my vision doesn't go away to see a neurologist after this weekend. He's got one he can send me to.


Well that sucks and is hella expensive, like thousands of dollars, and I am still paying for my appendectimy in the spring, so if that is unneccessary I'd like to avoid it. Also going in there has some pretty dark evil connotations with a brain tumor or an anneurism. Scary stuff.


So anyway I just thought I'd ask if anybody has any experience with this stuff? I have been unable to google or webmd anything successfully because I can't really describe well what I'm seeing.
If it doesn't go away by this weekend I am going to a doctor regardless

how have you been eating lately? In high school I got frequent migraines and I'm pretty sure it was mostly because I was only eating once a day. I eat more and healthier now and I only get them every month or two or when I neglect lunch. I wouldn't discourage you going to the doctor though if you don't have a history of migraines.

well 3 votes for migraine is at least a little consoling i guess.

thanks for not condemning me to die for having bad tastes earl! I checked my posts to see if I could find what you're referring to b/c I kinda realized I was being like that a while back and made an effort to be better about it, but I thought I was doing a p. good job... I couldn't find anything overtly rude so sorry if I rubbed you the wrong way somewhere!
