Not sure where the right place to ask is and I imagine it's already been mentioned somewhere, but anyone thinking of attending this who either lives near or fancies a trip to Arizona? It has a very brief talk from Dr. Hubert Lim. 47th ANNUAL SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGY MEETING March 5 - 7, 2020...

No eye pain or blurred vision, still a lot of tension in that part of my head and am experiencing the gloomy dark and sometimes static like visions in that part of my head every time my eyes have been closed for a while. He gave me the meds for migraines, he didn't even mention high blood...

@Greg Sacramento didn't you say the meds are ototoxic as well?

At what point do i worry then? Just feel a bit confused. If it brought on a massive pain in that area, those visions in the area that have lasted 3 days and a constant feeling of unease in that area isn't that more serious? The eye test came before the 'incident' as well. I also just had an...

@Greg Sacramento Also, do you know anywhere I can read more about this? I looked up hypertension, but didn't see anything about those weird patterns mentioned, and I had a blood pressure test and finger thing (is that for pulse?, I literally have no clue) and I'm guessing they were fine as...

I wouldn't say I have any abdominal pain or slowness peeing. I feel like as soon as something is mentioned these days though I'm sensing it, basically I guess I have a little bit, but it's also 2pm and I'm only just about to eat as I've been in bed all day trying to sleep, but freaking out every...

Hi Greg, I was just wondering if you know anything about migraine auras? Kriszti said I could try asking you. I'll paste my message to her below: "I haven't been able to find any answers to this new experience I've been having and it's affecting my sleep massively. I had my first...

Has anyone taken Diclofenac to help with migraines? The medicine is called Voltaren D50. I have been prescribed that by a doctor (as well as Buccastem), but it is listed a number of times on the following ototoxic list by the ATA: https://www.ata.org/sites/default/files/Drugs Associated with...

What NRR are your custom made plugs? I worry that if I ever go to a party/loud bar I won't know whether it's too loud or not!

Thank you Kriszti. I definitely calmed down when I realised it was likely to be more temporary. I plan to sleep now, hopefully for a long time, but we'll see! I feel like I probably shouldn't ask what bigger problems there could be if I were to have them often...? I'm pretty sure this stems...

Thank you. I'm certain it's that now. Lack of sleep and constant stress do sound familiar. Although I'd say it was more lack of sleep at the moment. And yeah, to say I freaked out would be an understatement! Left work immediately and called an emergency help line as I thought it might be...

Hi @Elfin Looks like you're probably right. A scintillating scotoma is what it looked like: It was that exact shape as well, although facing the other way and looked much much brighter. I think that's a relief?? Although obviously not having it would be more of a relief. Kind of...

Thank you so much for the quick reply. I've been proper freaking out about it. I did read about migraine auras, but I'm not really sure what they are... But seeing as it came at the exact time I had that (what now appears to be) fleeting tinnitus, I assumed it was something to do with that...

Hi, Pretty sure I just had visual snow. Was sitting at my desk in the office, heard a loud high pitched ring in my right ear and then just after noticed a small, bright intense zig-zag flickering pattern in my field of view. Kind of panicked, walked off to see if it disappeared. Googled it...
