That was odd.

I have just been for a sit down,in a darkened room.I was making a bit of brekkie,when in my bad eye,i could see dancing diamonds.Vision went blurry i felt sick and dizzy.The diamonds seemed to be spinning like a wheel.Got to say i felt very funny.Anyway it's gone now,but i feel a bit shook up.Been on google looked like a migrane attack.Going to do stuff all today now.I was going to clean a couple of floors.They can wait.I might come off this computer till later on.

Does sound like a migraine as the symptoms are exactly like mine. Except mine take a good 24 hours to go (only get them about every two years now, thank goodness). Worth checking with GP though and the pink migraine tablets (Migraleve) have an anti-sickness built in - catch it in time and I can avoid the full thing.

Let the Doc' rule out anything else but sounds like a migraine aura to me. I get them if I look at a bright screen in a dark room.

I have only had that once, about 45 years ago during a Chemistry lesson at school. It was very nasty. I hope you feel better soon, postie!

(What baffles me is why it happened to me on that one occasion but has never happened again ... )

I was suffering attacks 2 or 3 times a week untill trying feverfew, it doesn't control it once it starts it stops it before it starts. These days there are no more attacks.
I dont really follow the herbal idea on everything but do try to keep a open mind.

My mum planted feverfew in the garden and it seemed to cure my dad's migraine attacks. I've no idea how that would work...

I suffer from migraine aura, my vision gets blurred around the egdes and i also get blind spots.
I can tell when it is coming on, and take ibruprofen which seems to work.
It is scarry when you are driving.

Reaction to something in the Chemistry class?

A very boring lesson - probably!

(Actually, it was while we were waiting for the teacher to turn up and it was in a classroom not a chemistry lab.)
