Helix Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 My close friend suffers from migraines and occasionally she will lose control of her senses as a result(i.e. hearing things that aren't there) and will have her blood vessels explode and constrict, causing pain. She gets the more mild type of migrains too, but this subtype really has me baffled mainly because I've never heard of it before. Her doctor said it's "rare but not unheard of", so maybe someone around here knows about it? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzurePhoenix Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 It causes me agony and impairs my vision, and it totally blinds my mom, so you have our empathy, but I'm not sure what triggers what reactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashennell Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 mild hallucinations associated with migraines are usually called migraine auras or visual migraine aura hallucinations. They are quite common. if you google for "migraine aura" or "migraine hallucination" there should be a lot of info out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helix Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 OK thanks, I'll look into that. And yeah, AzurePhoenix, it's a real hassle to live with (so she has said). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
