Last night, I think I had another migraine. I am now getting about one a month - they started in may. I've never had them before.
But what scares me is that for about 2 hours before the onset of the headache, my vision became so disturbed that I just couldn't see. I couldn't read, watch tv, and if I hadn't been at home I'd have struggled to get around. I had a great big blind spot on one eye and tunnel vision with flashy wiggles at the sides.
Can anything prevent or ease these visual disturbances? I am a single mum and my children are 5 and 2, it's not really safe for me to not be able to see! I was lucky last night as they were in bed, but the trigger seems to be exhaustion, which as you know isn't always avoidable!
