When you see your doctor, I would ask if she/he has any experience using CBD oil for this malady.

I was getting SS about once per week, but have not had one for three months after starting CBD oil.

But, please be careful. Each person requires a different dose. I use about five drops per day. I was using the standard 20 drops, but got very lethargic.

If your doctor thinks it could be helpful and safe for you, it might be worth a try.

CBD oil comes from Hemp not marijuana, so its not psychoactive.

You may wish to read "Hemp for Migraine" by Jeremy Orozco. Its available at Amazon.

Scintillating scotomas of increasing frequency - see a doctor about it?

kfot...@gmail.com: Jan 12 06:02AM -0800 I was 67 when I started getting the SS 3 years ago and when after 3 months as they got more frequent, I made a note of each on the calendar. Time it started and whether the black edged white triangles arc formation are showing on the right hand side or the left. It starts as a central blur for about 5 minutes and then the expanding arc increases in size for the next 20 minutes, then fades away. Around 4/5 hours later I get a head pain that occurs on the opposite side of the arc. The head pain is not a migraine, just a painful throb when moving about. This lasts on average for 30 hours. I now get a SS every 10 days on average and just live with it. Some SSs occur in my sleep because I wake up with head pain. I woke once in the middle of the night and whilst waiting to return to sleep a SS happened. On rare occasions I have had 2 SSs one after each other. I have not found any connections with food, drink or lifestyle. I have read that there is a connection with the trigeminal nerve and I have only recently discovered this after having sudden severe tooth pain whilst chewing. So after further research I discovered there is a connection. I have never seen my GP about this or take painkillers for it.   On Tuesday, 13 October 2009 03:55:05 UTC+1, Richard Lytle wrote:
