Visual Migraine w/o headache: Feeling horrible for more than 11 days since

I had my first visual migraine 9 months ago. I had no headache and the visuals were pretty extreme and lasted 45 minutes then quickly vanished. I felt ok afterward, just freightened of course. Later on that night I began to feel very spacey and tired and a feeling like my brain was burned out. The next day I woke up feeling the same and the symptoms continued for about 3 weeks, then I slowly improved over a few days until I felt normal again.

During this terrible experience I posted some brief info about it on facebook. Within minutes a friend responded saying that he and his wife had very similar symptoms. They discovered that at least part of this was probably caused by severe candida overgrowth. An overgrowth that can become so severe that poisons released from the bowel into the blood stream can cause severe symptoms in the brain as well as the bowel from what I have heard.

Anyway my friend put me on a candida cleanse and candida diet. This began in the second week of the onset of the symptoms. It took 2 more weeks before I felt better. Once I did feel better I felt better than I had in 20 years. I also had remained feeling great for nearly 9 months, the longest I have gone without any weird symptoms symptoms in over 14 years. However I continued to have some rather miserable problems with my intestines off and on, so about 3 weeks ago I went on a strict candida diet again and a strong cleanse again.

About 11 days ago I suffered my second visual migraine with no headache. This was about 9 days into the cleanse. The visual migraine was much milder, in the left eye, and lasted only 20 minutes. I remained calm and just laid back, tried to ignore it and watched a movie. it cleared up very quickly and then I felt totally normal. I only felt some mild panic during the episode. However I woke up the next day feeling very weird. I felt like my brain was slightly damaged or something. Very weird symptom. Sort of like being drunk, moderately disoriented, fatigued, dizzy. Reminds me of how you feel after if you are awakened after a minor surgery and you still feel all wacked out because the effect of the anesthetic is still being experienced. Or how epileptics say they feel after a siezure. These symptoms have remained constantly for the past 11 days. Except last night. I felt like the symptoms were lifting off me. My head felt clear very quickly and then I began to feel much better. I thought it was clearing up, however I woke up feeling just as weird again. Waking is very hard because my eyes feel very "Tired" and sore, and my brain feels like it's just burned out. The symptoms lesson slightly as the day get's going and I then feel slightly better, then worse from 3 hour periods to the next. I feel like I might never feel normal again.

Does any of this new information sound familiar too anyone? I am hoping that this is happening due to the cleanse and diet, after all I thought for sure I had this thing beatin, and indeed I have felt normal for 270 days straight. Before I would be lucky if it was 60 days.
