Seeing strobe lights!

I experienced my very first optical migraine yesterday. For about 25 minutes, I had a circular patch in my line of vision (even when my eyes were closed) that was prismatic and flashing. It was really weird! I couldn't see clearly at all. I went the the Dr. and got checked out. She said that at my age (28) migraines become more common, and optical migraines are possible too.

Just thought I'd share!

Hope everyone is safe from the Blaster virus, I had to delete it from my PC today.

Sorry to hear about your migraine and computer virus! This virus seems to be getting a lot of people. I hope that you don't experience any more migraines.

Melissa,

Sorry to hear about both those things. I get migraine headaches as well. I don't see strobe lights though. I just can't stand to be around lights when I get one. I've noticed that I have them just after AF, and sometimes when thunderstorms come through. The lightning just kills me sometimes. Hope you get it all worked out.
