My visual migraines (or at least vision issues I've had that have definitely linked to migraines) have been seeing a slowly emerging crescent moon shape in my left eye, which almost looks prismatic, then it fades away (the rest of the eye's cloudy gray, which also comes and goes) - all within the span of 20-30 min.

Otherwise, seeing a seemingly centered halo of white light with a black center. THAT was scary.. and came immediately following a horrible charlie horse in my leg (that was during my 3 month stint on Yasmin - evil pill).

I've seen these flashes of blue/green hues that you're referring to though as well, I just never linked them to the MS, I thought they were related to looking at TV/PC monitor too long (white background to darker area, for example). I noted them within the past couple days happening with more frequency, and last night my left side (arm/hand) started the tell-tale pins & needles, and I ended up in bed with a left side migraine throbbing in my temple, that spread a good portion of my forehead. It took everything to think about something to distract from the pain and nausea. Luckily I was able to sleep, but I still have pins & needles a bit in my left side and fingers today, and a bit of a headache still left.

So that's interesting that the flashes of 1 color can also be migraine. Good to know!

I am impressed with my recent research and proof of how many MS patients have visual migraines. i suppose its an optic nerve thing. I have an appointment with the big eye surgeon on Friday. The MS center also is talking about an MRI to check for new lesions on my optic nerve.

Is anyone else having panic/anxiety attacks with theirs?

Im tired of this!

I used to get all freaked out when things happened that had never happened before....like this visual thing. For some reason I just don't anymore. Now, if I were to wake up one morning and not be able to see anything I think I might panic!

Since I have no medical insurance until Medicare kicks in I tend to just notify my Neuro of any changes (so he can update my medical chart) but I usually just ride the sx out till they resolve themselves. And they have all resolved by themselves so far. He gets irritated that I don't take his advice of IVSM or other drugs but I try to tell him that I just don't have the resources for it right now. He doesn't understand.

What Kitty said... but I've also had visual migraines for so long now that I'm past the freak out stage (except that halo one I had... but the charlie horse added to that entire experience).

I had my first probably 10 years ago (that I can remember). I don't know if it's MS related, but I think the 2 can work together (or against us).
