Are you seeing lights in your vision?  You should see a doctor.   You could be experiencing stress or you could have a medical issue yourself.   I would start by seeing your doctor.  Most likely followed by a referral for an eye exam from a specialist.   Flashes, glowing lights etc. can be a health problem you should have looked at by a doctor.  This is could well be related to your own health.

Best to you

Hi are you saying you can see the light emanating from your Dad?

I agree with everyone when they say that him seeing lights can be an auroa of a migraine.

You seeing the light is something I have never heard of.  So...I did a search, came across others discussing this phenomena

It sounds like migraines as Rbeth said and maybe spinal problems. Maybe the Atlas is out.

Hi again, just wanted to reiterate ~check with doctor. Just saw your Dad is diabetic, so you certainly want his doc to rule out any retinopathy ( or anything related). It still sounds like ocular migraine, but ONLY his doc will know for sure.

Wishing him well,
Randy

Hi and a warm welcome to the forum. FOR SURE, you should ask his doctor, that being said, when I'm exhausted or ( certain food etc) I get something like you've described. It's an ocular migraine. Mostly , kaleidoscope vision( with flashing lights) and can look like it's everywhere n field of vision( shoulder) I freaked 1st time & then found out my mom got that frequently( as does my daughter).  Gratefully, no headache. But it's weird:-/.
DEFINITELY, check with your Dad's doctor! Hope it's just benign ocular migraine.  Wanted to respond, caught my eye( no pun) & I could relate.
Blessings,
Randy

Must be some type of energy that's giving off an aurora.  There are so many unexplained phenomenon in our world and this may be one of them.  I do believe when we experience pain in one way or another electrical current can be felt and sensed by others.  Perhaps this is what your experiencing.

Are you talking about a pain - a shooting pain - which feels to you father like a flash of lightning?

Like AWM, I think you should tell his Dr so they can check.  if you are talking about a shooting pain, especially one which he feels for 2 or 3 days, that does not sound like any of the side effects I have heard anyone with Hepatis C say they experienced on or off of treatment.

Good luck on getting an answer and good treating and healing for your Father.

Hi there,

Not exactly sure what you mean when you say " when he is exhausted, flash of light comes from his head to his shoulder"? Is this visual to everyone? or is this energy leaving his body?

When my mother was in a semi-coma and nearly everybody thought she was going to pass - I could see she had great color. I came in every day *even though I was very fatigued myself* gave her lots of love, spoke to her, massaged her freezing feet, hands, brushed her hair and gave her lots of kisses!

It nearly killed me but giving her all that energy brought her back. The nurses said it was a miracle but I said it was just being a good son.

If what you are seeing is energy leaving his body you may need to find ways to stop it or add your own energy.

Best of luck, f
