Hi Melanie,

[tired mom]

sorry for the double post my computer is acting funny. Anyway I did not see your previous post but saw someone mentioned he was seeing flashing lights. I am just curious if the doc mentioned optical migraines? I get them all the time and they last for about half an hour. It was pretty scary the first time it happened to me but now I know to take tylenol and lay down for about 20 minutes and then the flashing lights go away.

Thanks but is that bad or just it is what it is?

No it is not bad, it was explained to me that it is a migraine that you get in your eyes instead of your head. The lights are very bright or in my case sometimes neon blue and zig-zaged shaped. Your vison does get distorted for awhile and sometimes a dull headache will follow. Stress can bring them on. I also find, if he ever has it happen again, wearing sunglasses help and keep the room dark till it passes.
