Yes, I'm afraid I know what you are talking about. These come and go but luckily not very often.

Also before I got sick, I used to get an "aura" before a migraine. Visual disturbances such as these, flashing lights in the corner of my eyes, shimmering water and one time even dyslexia!

I often wonder if it isn't related anyhow.

Gosh Marie, I had that build and stick to daily chronic from Spring of 2010, to May of 2012. Great link you found. I filed it. Easier to explain to people these things when they can see them. THANKS. :) xo

So 2 years oh my gosh. I started treating March of 2012 and then it came down in May of 2012 and broke to sporadic hits then left by the summer of 2012.

I was FINALLY outside again.

It was added with the whole area covered in ..............grainey like texture but with the halo like on your utube. Heat wavey movement to all of it.

And it actually looked like some kind of clear gel was covering all that distortion and movement. I was "trying" to look thru of it. I couldn't connect to my surroundings.

Not the depersonalization people talk about but I wanted to put my hands out in front of me and break thru it to get outside. Like in a surreal awful fishbowl.

I never got migraines, but it was accompanied with all my brain buzzing,whooshing (down somewhat but still not good) and head pressure (gone) and all of that. The distortion is gone after 2 years of chronic thank heavens.

It really must have unnerved you since your vision is already bad. And yes to entirely visual.

I could feel it was coming from the visual cortex part of my brain. Accompanied with the other head stuff I listed above it actually felt like it was all, working synergistically from inside my head. Awful.

Yes, I'm relieved that part is finally over. Finally. I hated, hated it. My hit is really head with these bugs as you can see.

You have had migraines for a long long time geeze. Perhaps the visual cortex of your brain is more compromised from the infection now and your migraine is working along with it like my other head stuff did.

I used to get bad bad migraines since I was a kid. Same area all the time. Behind left eye, inside my head like a blood vessel was slicing and swollen pulsing in my brain and bad bad.

Then just before I got chronic sick the sporadic migraines stopped. Not one for 2 years and 8 months. Go figure. It's like the "same" area where it would hurt so harshly, changed.

No more headache pain. Gone. So weird these infections. ( Just the frontal lobe and top of head pressure built when chronic hit, but that's gone now.)
