Hope everything works out well with the medication, Batlord.

Not just associated with the migraines, no. The visual disturbances are there much of the time – mainly blurred vision. Don’t think I have scotoma at all, but there are sort of greyish-cloudy holes where vision is obscured. Thanks for the video and extra info and recommendations, Erica. Sorry about your Mom suffering from migraines also – and your experiencing both migraine and the auras. I was thinking about perimenopause/hormonal changes, but I haven’t had any real symptoms yet. Genetically, there is no history of migraines in my family and I’m not a longtime migraine sufferer. Maybe going back about six months. I do drink one or two coffees a day and eat 70% dark chocolate occasionally – which used to help a bit, now it’s not helping as much.
