Evening all,

For those of you who dont know i have been diagnosed with hemiplegic migrane. Its symptoms are identical to a stroke basicly.

This morning at 6am i had a migrane bt this time i lost my sight. Its like being in a swimming pool with no goggles on. last few times my sight comes back within 15min once a migrane goes.

Not this time! Ive been up a n e since 8am, im on my hospital bed typing this thread and ive had enough. Im in hospital till 8pm tomorrow whatever. I lost my sight for 7 hours today and i didnt think it was coming back. So im sitting here under going test after test. At one point last week i thought i was getting better. How wrong i was...

Sounds bad mate. I had to spend a night and day in hospital about 2 weeks ago. Nothing as serious as yourself but it still did me in all the same.

 

Your condition sounds complicated. I am sure you are in the best place possible though.

 

If you don't mind me asking, how did you diagnose the condition?

 

All the best.

I'm sorry to hear that mate. All the best for a speedy recovery. My wife gets pretty terrible migranes with vision loss, but not in the same league as your's.

I was dignosed 3 weeks ago by a neurology specialist up at the same hospital. As only 5% of the uk have the condition they dont seem to know an awfull lot about it.
