Guest guest Posted March 15, 2001 Report Share Posted March 15, 2001 Hey Glenda, I refuse for you to flare... Got that! lol Thanks for the well wishes...The doctor said I was having daily occular migraines and that nothing can be done about them. But if I was to start having them while driving to pull over until it passes because it could cause me to wreck. I waited 3 hours to see this man today to tell me that...Geez! But I really am thankful because it could have been worse. So I will shut up! Glenda, I hope and pray you will feel good soon. Love u Lu I am fine. Just feeling a little rockie right now.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2001 Report Share Posted March 15, 2001 nothing can be done about them Dear Lu- I find it hard to believe that nothing can be done. Please try and get another opinion. Was he a certified opthamologist or neurologist? No one should have to suffer with something like that on a daily basis!!!

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2001 Report Share Posted March 18, 2001 Lu, how on earth do you drive with these??? How long do they last? What kind of Dr is this, an Opthomologist? Do they know what is causing it? Sorry for all the questions, but this is NOT a good thing. There must be someone we could badger into a better prognosis - NOT, of course, that I would ever do such a thing! (If you buy that, I've got a bridge!) I hope and pray that this is something that can be controlled with meds (yeah, like we need more meds!) How is this going to impinge on your ability to function everyday? God bless you.

Love, Judy O >> Judy, I too have ocular migraines. It is scarey to drive because you never know when they will hit. I told Lu, I was driving back from my rheumy visit when the last one hit. Had to get off the freeway really fast. I knew it was coming. Well, I ended up in a bookstore. LOL Great place to be when you can't see. LOL Spent 3 hours there, just sitting... Couldn't even read a title. Should have just went to the nearest candy store and ate chocolate for three hours. Don't need to see to do that. LOL I think there are more in the group who have them too. Is there any connection to them and RP. Maybe we should ask Cath. Has anyone heard from her lately.??? Miss her.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 , I get migraines every Tuesday (chemo day), they are truly nasty. Are they the same thing?

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 Hi Janet, Yes, He is a doctor for diseases that affect the eye. I am not in any pain, I only have light shows, as calls them. One thing he did fuss at me about though, I am supposed to turn the TV off in the bedroom from now on and sleep in total darkness. He said this would make you sick, that everyone's body needed that time in darkness, well I can't help I fall asleep with it on. lol I have been doing it all of my life. I guess I will have to figure out the timer...lol For the past couple of days no light shows???? So I don't know when they will start again but I hope not soon. Thanks Janet, Love u Lu Dear Lu- I find it hard to believe that nothing can be done. Please try and get another opinion. Was he a certified opthamologist or neurologist?

Mine weren't migraines, but just as painful. I know how you are suffering. Know that you will be in my prayers especially on Tues. Do you take folic acid? It did help alot with the side effects from the metho for me. I also took mine at night, so I could sleep through most of it. Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 He simply states nothing can be done about them, but let me point out I am not in pain with ocular migraines, I just have wonderful light shows. Which soon pass with in 25 to 30 minutes. I also have the terrible kind of migraines that put you to bed for a day or so, they are horrible. I am just praying this doesn't mean we are in store for one soon. LOL Or I will resort to staying at home and piddling. lol Love Lu Lu, how on earth do you drive with these??? How long do they last?

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2001 Report Share Posted March 21, 2001 Yes, I do take Folic Acid - can't say it does much. I never thought of taking the metho at night, I'll ask my rheumy. Do you actually sleep thru the nausea? Whaat do youo do when the Migraine sets in? I'm really starting to get a complex about Tuesdays!!

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2001 Report Share Posted March 22, 2001 Judy, I found that the nausea was at a minimum when I took it at bed. I always ate something with it. Yes, I think I slept through most of it. The migraines would sometimes hit at night and I would use ice on my neck which helped. But after a while the migraines turned into just headaches that were tolerable. Don't know if it will work for anyone else, but worked best for me. I had more of the all over muscle and bone pain, flu symptoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2001 Report Share Posted March 23, 2001 I'll ask my Rheumy aabout taking the Metho at night. Maybe that will help, thanks for the info. Love, Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
