He's mentioned it just a couple of times in the last few weeks or so. He says it's when he can't see and his eyes go fizzy and he has to open them really wide so he can see. He won't say amymore at the mo.

He's just mentioned it and suspect he's only said once maybe twice before. This time he's certainly is grumpy, it's half term and friday and he's abs shattered. Also been ill recently with Chickenpox.

I guess it could be that twitchy eye thing you get when you're tired. Or just tired...
Has anyone ever encountered this kind of desription before? Should I worry

low blood pressure? I get stars in my eyes when I stand up quickly. I would get it checked out though

Thanks JiminyC. You're right, if get it if I stand up quickly too. Will consider going to docs but don't want to overreact too soon, had a bad experience once when doctors rushed to medicalise on the scantiest of info, all from me.

Munchowsens by proxy, but from the docs rather than me!

strangely enough,my son screamed when he woke up yesterday morning that he could see "red flies"....!lasted for about a minute then he was fine.i think he'd been rudely awoken by something falling down in his bedroom but still gonna keep an eye on him.just another thought,i used to get "zigzags"in front of my eyes.i was told that this is a form of migraine but without the actual headache.
