Hello everyone.
So I'm sitting here with yet another SS, but this one is behaving differently and interestingly.

Began as a blindspot in the left corner of my eyesight, then turning rainbow zigzags, and very slowly spreading to the center, lingering there for awhile and slowly retreating back to the left where it began. More of a vertical line than classic C shape.

The usual Ss's I get last 30-45 mins, this one was well over an hour, and left me very weak and shivering.

I recently have increased my daily caffeine intake a bit, alot of coffee today along with possibly some msg in my pho noodles broth.
I think the brightness on my cellphone in a dark room may of triggered the SS, I normally have it set dim but was showing a video to a friend earlier and had made it bright.
I wonder if the caffeine + msg = bad? I only had a few sips of the pho broth.

Anyone else ever had similar? Side to middle and back to same side SS?

take care all, it has pretty much cleared now.

Mine always occur with light as a trigger. usually my iphone or Ipad, but can also be bright lights in a store or restaurant.They usually last 20-30 minutes. Used to be my right eye and now is always the left. i am getting occurrences about every 8-9 days. But, if I have one, I will often have another the same day. I am going to try VitaminB2 and magnesium together and see if I can get an improvement.

I am 59 and have gotten migraines with and without auras since I was 14. But, these usually occur without a headache. Really wish I could get rid of them. I have seen an opthalmologist and he said they were classic ocular migraines.

Anyone here have success with Vitamin B2 or magnesium?
