I have a headache which is piercing, but isn't as painful as a migraine. I have also had VS for a year, and wos wondering if this is what caused it.

Hi,

There is no definite neurophysiologic explanation for visual snow but its presence may mask an underlying neurologic,psychiatric, infectious and autoimmune disease which warrants further work-up.
Illicit drug use may also cause visual snow.

Just reassure your son and continue to follow up with your physicians until underlying causes be ruled out.

Keep us posted for anything.
