32 year old female. Myopia and astigmatism. Bouts of visual disturbances since 21.
This past summer ( Late June ) they began again, DAILY and have NOT STOPPED . I have been to many ophthalmologists for dilated eye exams and they say my eyes are normal, except for some vitreous
thinning. Last month I went to an eye hospital for a purple thing stuck in my left eye for days. They diagnosed it as migraine I DO get severe headaches, but they seem unrelated to these visual disturbances. I had a classic migraine a few years ago, the classic aura, and blind spots, then the most severe headache in my life.
What I see - purple, green, red and white orbs, specks, some drift by ( tiny
white stars) on their own, others stay ' stuck' anywhere from a few seconds to several hours, or
sometimes, like my purple spot, weeks. Sometimes they flash in a metallic way. Some are large, but I have no vision loss. The purple is the most prevalent, sometimes lavender. These change color depending on what color background I am looking at.
I see them even with my eyes closed, they appear as dark shapes.
usually see 1 or 2 at a time, at the rate of up to 50 per day.
My mother has had ocular migraines
Father was a heavy LSD user before I was born. I heard a
father's psychedelic use can tamper with the child's brain chemistry. Alot of my
symptoms sound like HPPD butI’ve never taken lsd.
Scoliosis.
Last summer, after taking effexor for two years, I became
delusional, feverish, unable to control bodily functions, manic, confused, paranoid, had hallucinations, and was rushed to the hospital. .Believe I had serotonin syndrome.
The weeks leading up to that episode I was having episodes of waking up in the
middle of the night, and if I moved my arm, I would see several arms moving with it. I was seeing matrix code scrolling on my ceiling.
Could a persistent migraine aura manifest this way? This many times a day?
Could any of the above be the cause of these visual symptoms?
