It was blurred lines but moving in my right eye. Never happened before. My sister has bad migraines, my mom had them and my grandfather had them bad. Anyone else

Anne: Migraines have done that to me also. It has to do with something called HOMEOSTASIS, which basically refers to you feeling good and your brain doing its job of keeping you moving. When you have homeostasis all is well. When you don't have it, however, and you have epilepsy, watch out. And a lot of things can cause that: Lack of sleep, hangover, argument with the boss that day, nasty fight with your significant other the night before, etc. Those kind of things can happen to us all, so when a migraine gets you JUST RELAX. You shall overcome! Regards, Jake

Sorry to hear....
I feel that way some times. I feel it has to do with stress and time of year.

I have visual or ocular migraines. That may not be the right terminology. I see patterns that are not there. Fish scales, chain link fencing, and boxes. These have never preceded a seizure, just a weird quirk.

I have tonic clonic seizures and chronic migraines. I’ll get a small migraine b4 a seizure and it’s a different feeling than when I’m just having a migraine- I can feel like electricity is zapping around in my head along with how a migraine feels. Then after the seizure, the migraine is 10x’s worse than b4. And my photophobia ( light sensitivity) and noise sensitivity go through the roof. The slightest amount of light has me reaching for my Z1’s (epilepsy glasses that are a dark blue and if the noises get too loud, I will put in earplugs lol. Not a pretty sight but it works
