eyes haven’t been the same since that long adhd meds fueled coding session last Monday. Flashes at the bottom rim that come and go are really annoying the shit out of me and freaking me out. I have an eye appt next Tuesday. Anyone else get these symptoms?

@jestdotty thanks for that! I did workout yesterday which helped. I’m not sure if it’s a migraine as I don’t have any head pain but maybe headaches aren’t always necessary for migraines. Symptoms have gotten some relief when going out, and almost disappearing when I’m out for long enough. I’m getting an eye exam next Tuesday to see what’s going on with them.

What I’m experiencing-Flashes along the bottom rim of my eyes that have some weird zigzag shape to them that are triggered by staring at a screen with the wrong light setting for too long or moving my head too quickly. And occasional steam shapes along my nose. Of course im not asking for devrant to dx me lol 😂just wondering if anyone else gets these

I think it’s overstimulation of the retinas. Like when you stare at a bright light, you get that afterglow. For me it takes alot less light than usual to get the afterglow

@jestdotty new meds probably contributed indeed. So they’re called auras? Cool, never knew there’s a name for it

@jestdotty that’s exactly what I’m getting the “stared too long at the sun” things. And dizziness as well

Ooooh this is good! I had “blind streaks” across the bottom of my eyes, they kinda resemble wax paper. They’re going away 😁😁

@jestdotty what did you do to treat them? This light sensitivity sucks and I can’t get anything done bc looking at the screen gives me symptoms. Maybe the Dr will give me special drops.
