61. Migraine And Vertigo common type is called migraine aura without headache or migraine equivalent, and there are several other uncommon types such as ocular migraine and hemiplegic http://www.vestibular.org/migraine.html

Migraine and Vertigo Migraine is a disorder usually associated with headache. Although it can affect the whole head, it usually occurs on one side only. It is characterized by throbbing and associated with symptoms that may include nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Flashes or patterns before the eyes may precede the headache. Symptoms may also include vertigo and imbalance. Migraine can be associated with benign recurrent vertigo of adults (not to be confused with BPPV), paroxysmal vertigo of childhood, motion sickness, and other vestibular disturbances. Stress, anxiety, hypoglycemia, fluctuating estrogen, certain foods, smoking and other factors can trigger migraine. Physicians treat vertigo and imbalance from migraine by reducing these risk factors. Treatment may also involve medications. Statistics Migraine is an extremely common disorder. Studies suggest that more than 20 million people in the U.S. suffer from migraine. Women are four times as likely as men to experience migraine, which can recur at intervals ranging from one day to several years. Studies indicate that about 25 percent of migraine sufferers experience dizziness during the attacks. Migraine classifications Migraine disorders are usually divided into several types including common, classic, migraine equivalent, and complicated migraine. However, the International Headache Society (IHS) recently developed a new classification system.

About a month ago while running on the treadmill at home, I experienced a "silent ocular migraine." I got off the machine for a break and when I got back on, I lost the vision in my right eye. I became very light-headed, and my right arm had a strong tingling sensation, as if I had whacked my elbow on a table. This lasted for about 30 seconds and then sight and feeling came back I felt extremely tired for about an hour. I thought I was having a stroke. Over the next few weeks similar events occurred both during and after exercise, and sometimes, unassociated with exercise. Once it happened in the middle of the night. I had an MRI which revealed nothing unusual. I was diagnosed as having "ocular migraines." At first I was given no treatment and was advised to continue running. Another doctor, an opthalmologist, told me to cut back on running as a possible trigger. The events were occurring more frequently (four or five times a week, sometimes as many as three times in one day).

65. The Classic Migraine Is A Severe Headache, Sometimes Accompanied By Nausea Ocular/Ophthalmic Migraine. An ocular migraine can occur either in conjunction with a headache or without one, and may or may not be accompanied by nausea. http://www.drburr.homestead.com/files/px_ed--ocular_migraine.htm

Ocular/Ophthalmic Migraine The classic migraine is a severe headache, sometimes accompanied by nausea. Ocular migraines are visual disturbances, which may or may not accompany a migraine headache. Symptoms will vary from one individual to the next. The event typically lasts between 10 and 30 minutes, and common symptoms include: Grayness to vision Waviness or distortion slowly travelling across your vision Temporary loss of vision, particularly in one eye Tunnel vision Increased sensitivity to bright lights Shattered jigsaw or broken stained-glass appearance to vision An ocular migraine can occur either in conjunction with a headache or without one, and may or may not be accompanied by nausea. Generally, when it accompanies a headache, the visual disturbances happen before the onset of headache symptoms. In younger people with common migraine headache, it is typical for ocular migraines to occur as well. As people age, it becomes more common to experience ocular migraines without headache symptoms. In general, there are no serious complications caused by ocular migraine. Treatment, in most instances, is not necessary unless the headache symptoms are bothersome.

Up Re: Flashing light in corner of eye From: SOLUTION Date: 19 Aug 2003 Time: Remote Name: Comments Ocular Migraine Ocular Migraine is a variant of migraine that is not uncommon. It is believed to be caused by the same mechanism as classical migraine; vascular spasm. Instead of the spasm affecting the surface of the brain, these episodes affect the ocular blood supply or the blood supply to the vision center in the brain. Typically, these episodes begin with a visual disturbance that begins in the peripheral vision. It often consists of a semi-circular, jagged, shimmering light, which enlarges and becomes more central. This disturbance usually obscures the vision within the jagged area. The light is often described a pale pastel in color. In the typical episode, the visual disturbance lasts 15 – 20 minutes and then disappears. A mild headache may or may not follow the disturbance. Many ocular migraine sufferers complain only of fatigue after the visual disturbance. ALSO SEE REPLY FROM "ANONYMOUS"

THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1998 Focusing on Computer Users' Eyestrain Soreness, Blurry Vision and Even Migraines Can Follow Too Much Screen Time By ANNE EISENBERG For many people, working in front of a computer monitor means aching eyes, blurred vision and even migraines. Eye and vision problems are fast overtaking sore wrists and hands as one of the most frequently reported health-related complaints among the ever-growing numbers of people who spend time peering at a computer screen. "There is no disagreement among experts that we're seeing more and more computer-related vision problems," said Dr. Kent M. Daum, an optometrist and professor at the University of Alabama School of Optometry in Birmingham who has written a number of papers on computer-related eye strain. "The eye isn't meant to close-focus all day. Doing so can lead to considerable problems." An eye test given by Dr. Gary Tracy, an optometrist in Manhattan, used a simulation of the way people view computer screens. So quickly have computer-related vision issues grown in the past year that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the Federal Department of Labor is considering incorporating these issues into the ergonomic guidelines that it is developing. "Right now, the standard targets people in manufacturing," said David Cochran, who directs the agency's work on the guidelines. "We're still wrestling with how to deal with offices and computer work stations." Surveys cited by the American Optometric Association, an organization of 32,000 optometrists, indicate that 70 percent to 75 percent of computer workers have eye and vision problems.

MIGRAINE I've been wanting to write a piece on headache and especially migraine for some time but assembling useful information on this topic without getting overly technical has been difficult. Most of the following was borrowed from three different sources but offers a concise, and I think, accurate description of the dreaded migraine. There are many types and causes of headaches. A migraine is a type of vascular (related to the blood vessels) headache and it is among the most severe. It is also common, affecting about 1 person in 10. It affects women more than men and often runs in families. Migraines usually appear before the age of 40, frequently at a time when hormonal body changes occur (such as during adolescence). A classic migraine is often preceded by strange visual symptoms, such as flashing lights, zigzag lines, or even temporary loss of vision. The source of these visual problems is rarely, if ever, related to the eyes themselves, but to the blood vessels inside the head. The term "ocular migraine" refers to a type in which the affected blood vessels are those providing circulation to one eye. It sometimes causes a temporary loss of vision in that eye. The exact cause of migraine is not known, though research has found a possible link to abnormal levels of certain chemicals in the brain. An attack begins with narrowing (spasm) of the blood vessels inside the head followed by their dilation (enlarging) and stretching, which is probably what creates the pain.

THE EMOTIONAL IMPACT OF VISION LOSS: A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE February 12, 2001 My first encounter with vision loss came in 1981. I was approaching my ninth birthday, and a large cataract had reduced my vision from 1/200 to the ability to see hand motions. I do not recall being aware of this deterioration. My parents decided to have the cataract removed. My mother's journal entries suggest that I was quite emotional during the week of the surgery, but they also reveal that a particular experience must have caused me to understand why the surgery was necessary. When I was finally able to open my eye, I fought the sedative effects of medications so that I could look at windows, lights and objects. "I understand now," I said. My vision was relatively stable until 1986. At the age of 14, I began to experience ocular migraines. During an ocular migraine, the blood vessels in the retina and around the optic nerve constrict, and the person experiences a temporary loss of vision. I first experienced these temporary losses during the summer, while I was attending a five-week program at the Texas School for the Blind. They continued for two years, during which time I took oral beta blockers. I was frightened, remembering my interactions at summer camp with a girl who was losing her vision because of glaucoma. She experienced intermittent periods of vision loss and had been told that one day the loss would be permanent. Would this happen to me? At some point, my vision stabilized again, and I forgot about my fears. However, in the fall of 1991, the familiar grey curtain returnedand this time it did not go away after a few hours. In fact, it did not go away after a few days. My memories of the girl from summer camp returned and haunted me.

78. Central Nervous System An incomplete or ocular migraine is described as beginning symptoms, common to migraines (such as visual disturbances), without the actual headache. http://www.mtio.com/lupus/artnerv.htm

Moore , MD Director of Rheumatology at St. Louis University School of Medicine and Health Sciences Center, Director of Pediatric Rheumatology at Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital, Professor of Internal Medicine and Pediatrics at St. Louis University School of Medicine. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement with SLE is very common. It may range from mild to life-threatening. It is the most difficult manifestation of lupus to diagnoseoften hard to distinguish from symptoms of other diseases and medications. Symptoms In patients with SLE, approximately 24 to 51% have CNS involvement. Although CNS involvement with lupus has been the subject of many studies, it's difficult to compare the different studies because there are no standardized definitions for this type of involvement. While some researchers consider minor symptoms as indication of CNS involvement, others consider only the major symptoms. The following are the most recognized symptoms of CNS lupus: Cognitive dysfunction Headache Seizure Altered consciousness Asceptic meningitis Cerebral hemorrhage Paresis (loss of sensation) Myelopathy Peripheral neuropathy Dysfunction of motor skills Ataxia Tremor Chorea Altered Behavior Psychosis Organic brain syndrome (OBS) Depression Confusion Affective disorder Stroke Optic neuritis Pseudotumor cerebri Top A little further definition of some of the symptoms might be in order: Cognitive Dysfuntion Cognitive dysfunction could be described as difficulty thinking/concentrating, difficulty speaking, difficulty remembering and difficulty using numberssometimes referred to (by patients) as

There is a common misconception that a migraine headache is by definition severe. This is not the case. Differentiation between the different types of headaches is complex but generally does not involve the severity of pain (cluster headaches and those caused by intracranial disasters such as infection or bleeding being the exceptions.) The two most common types are tension headaches and migraine headaches. Briefly, tension headaches feel like a tight band symmetrically around the head and can last for days, whereas migraine headaches are a dull ache or throbbing pain, usually unilateral, sometimes preceded by an aura, that resolves in a few hours to a day or with sleep. Also, migraines frequently run in the family. I frequently get mild unilateral throbbing pains that resolve in a few hours or with sleep, and years ago I also thought I couldn't call them migraines since they don't hurt so bad. Then I got a tension headache. YEOW! My tension headaches hurt a lot worse than the mild migraines I frequently get! Give me a migraine any day. Jonathan R.

Home Page Eyewear Styles Testimonials Articles ... Contact Us MIGRAINES Many people with migraine, ocular migraines or chronic headaches are aware of an association with light sensitivity, whether as a contributing cause, or simply a symptom associated with the problem. Many sufferers can be quite specific about their particular sensitivity, whether under certain lighting, at a computer, to car headlights, watching TV, sunlight etc. Artificial lighting such as fluorescent, halogen and some car headlights are often highly disturbing and can in some individuals, be enough to bring about an attack. Following research by Dr Andy Dowson (Kings Headache Service, London) and Alain Maine (European Institute of Health and Medical Sciences), which confirmed that migraineurs were particularly sensitive to light at the red and blue ends of the spectrum, Medi-View developed a filter to address this particular need.
