I've suffered from them, infrequently, for about 20 years now. The migraine itself only persists for about 30 minutes but recently the longer term problem is eye strain. It seems that the migraine makes me hypersensitive to sitting in front of a monitor for about a month afterwards. Not a good situation when my job involves sitting in front of a monitor for long periods.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-77879789775585211802011-07-17T16:56:00.092+01:002011-07-17T16:56:00.092+01:00I have had 19 migraines in 21 days all fingers cro...I have had 19 migraines in 21 days all fingers crossed sorted out now, got beta blockers twice a day , take care and stop getting stressed xxxxPauline Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649465014567576488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-67487766378744789492011-07-13T16:49:46.845+01:002011-07-13T16:49:46.845+01:00Yes, "odd" is right.

But feeling "odd" for a few hours afterwards.<br /><br />Today I had another incident, and so plan to see doctor ASAP. This time one eye was mis-aligned, so seeing double, and only lasted about a minute. But the "odd" feeling was there for a while still, so sounds related to me.RevKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369263214193333422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-61510095266655282072011-07-13T16:34:39.656+01:002011-07-13T16:34:39.656+01:00I suffer with the exact same symptoms, you are mos...I suffer with the exact same symptoms, you are most likely experiencing a Migraine with aura. Only a small percentage of people get aura, it can occur without a headache, or with a non-migraine headache too.<br /><br />When I feel the aura starting I usually take a migraine tablet and drink water which can I find reduce the time the aura stays and avoids any headaches.<br /><br />The whole experience can take a while to disappear and you can feel quite odd for a while.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07130834765377677579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-80659812728576099632011-07-13T11:59:58.955+01:002011-07-13T11:59:58.955+01:00It freaked me out the first time, and only did not...It freaked me out the first time, and only did not get investigated more as was told "yeh that's a migraine" by my wife.
