the answer is the same as in the other thread.  likely experiencing SCHEERER'S PHENOMENON.  follow the link in the other thread if you have not already.

probably unrelated to any fever, past or present.  watching tv or using a computer has no effect, positive or negative.

I always get white lines.  Do you get headaches?  My lines are part of my aura and is a migraine side effect.
