Hello, shamelessly posting here for traffic. I’m aware that of course no one here can give actual medial advice. I’ve run this through Claude/ ChatGPT etc.
but was wondering if anyone experienced this before. Today I was just walking around and suddenly I saw sparkles in my entire field of vision- both eyes, top/ bottom / sides and in front of me.
it was as if I had walked into a swarm of tiny sparkly flies / dust. It lasted 20-30 seconds and then went away.
I had the same thing once before, 6 months ago.
both times, I did not feel unwell / dizzy or like I was about to pass out or anything like that.
I suffer from MS, which is well controlled and very quiet the last few years. I also suffer from migraines but never with aura.
could this just be a migraine with aura or ocular migraine or something ? Last time I didn’t go to the doctor but mentioned it when I was discussing my migraine management in general and the doctor did say I should go to the eye clinic. I didn’t go. I did have a recent eye exam at the optician and all was fine. I do need glasses etc but eyes healthy.
it sounds self limiting to me and not something I am overly stressed about. It doesn’t sound like an MS eye symptom either. I’ve had optic neuritis and that’s completely different. Am I being too chill or is it just one of those things ? Thank you !
