Anyone here get migraines with loss of vision (lights flashing in field of vision)? I have had this alot lately. T.

I have migraines with aura's. It starts with visual disturbance, sometimes flashing lights, sometimes partial loss of vision a few min b/4 the pain starts. The pain is usually on one side. I took Neurontin as a preventative for many years.

Thanks for the post. I can't take certain meds for migraines because of problems with my irregular heartbeat. Does yours last about 20-25 min? Mine seem to come about the beginning, middle or end of my cycle.

The aura lasts about 20-25 min. I could never take the meds they gave me for migraines either. It would make my face numb & my heart race, urinary frequency. A dr finally put me on Neurontin as a preventative & that was the first time in 20 years I had relief from migraines. I still get them but they're not as bad & don't last as long. I can still function with the pain. When you get thru menopause your migraines will probably get less severe. Best wishes.
