Aside from check-ups and the like, I'm pretty sure close to 100% of GP visits are about 'symptom-based' issues. They don't bother defining what they mean by symptom-based, or I could not find it. Of course we know what they mean, but hot damn the euphemism shuffling is absurd. The bias here is...

Yes, it doesn't really sound like retinal migraine. That's most commonly in one eye only, whereas classical migraine auras seem to involve both. I feel lucky in that I've never had any sort of migraine other than retinal, and while some folk get pain and other symptoms with it, I've only ever...

I get migraines, sometimes with the visual effects before the headache and sometimes one or the other. The first time I had the visual effect I was only 15 and terrified I was going blind. My mother just said, oh, yes, that's a migraine aura. @perchance dreamer, it's good you are getting your...

...here and on Phoenix Rising. Here is one link: https://www.s4me.info/threads/study-finds-potential-causality-between-blood-clot-factors-and-migraine-with-aura.22703/#post-379684 Did you check whether you could speak properly? I usually lost the ability to make sense when speaking or...

...after. My eye doctor ruled out any kind of visual problem that could have caused it and told me that although it could have been a silent migraine (migraine without headache), it was unlikely that I'd get a 1st-time migraine at age 68. She said I needed to rule out vascular or neurological...

...extremely chilled before I warm up from the warm water. As part of my next day PEM (from showering or anything else) I will wake up with a migraine. If I let chewable aspirin dissolve under my tongue soon before going to sleep, I won't have the migraine the next day. I use St. Joseph's Low...

It would really be a useful exercise to have someone go through this methodically, expose how transparently absurd it all is. We are long past the point at which this not only checks all the boxes of pseudoscience and fraud, and it's starting to look more like cartels and extremely corrupt...

...unexplained symptoms, symptom based disorders, central sensitisation syndrome, FND ( I get some FND is real). Including IBS, POTS and migraine as the same disorder is silliness. A notorious physician started doing this in my part of the world and their career was finished in 3 years because...

...read about Oliver Sacks. I've commented elsewhere about the BPS-like assertions in that book (edit - here). Sacks suggested that having a migraine was a way for a non-assertive/powerless person to justify stopping taking care of others, and instead have a rest and withdraw from the world...

There are a couple of references to The Panther in this article about Oliver Sacks and the fabrications in his work: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/12/15/oliver-sacks-put-himself-into-his-case-studies-what-was-the-cost Archived copy: https://archive.is/jmb6s From the article: I...

I wonder if there are two subgroups? My normal PEM pattern is like @Alinda's. I always get 'flu symptoms with PEM, yet have only had the "poisoned" thing during my worst ever crash. Even though it was 25 years ago I can remember it very clearly.

I wonder? I experienced this feeling from year 1 and had never heard of it mentioned before at that stage, wasn't in touch with patient groups or anything like that, and the only way I could describe it is the feeling of being "poisoned", like some toxic substance was in my body that shouldn't...

No, I'm the same. I only experienced what I think people refer to as "poisoned" twice. And personally I would have described it as feeling hungover. I've been hungover plenty of times, but I've never been poisoned so even though I trigger PEM frequently, I never understood what people were...
