As I've mentioned I've experienced my first ocular migraine (with migraine headache), so yesterday evening my son brought me a dozen red roses, a bottle of vodka, a bottle of diet coke, two packs of coffee and some Pizza Hut cheesy triangles. Listen and learn fellas, listen and learn :P

It can all be ignored bar the red roses - my heart melted.

A lovely sweet gesture from your son. Though I'm not sure that all that caffeine and cheese is the best way to avoid migraines ?

I can't look at alcohol at the moment and I'm avoiding caffeine/chocolate/cheese. I've not actually managed to talk to my GP yet and I've been trying since Monday. I spoke to 111 who sent me to the eye hospital where other causes were ruled out.

Ocular migraines are cool, if you learn to just sit down, close your eyes and go with the free light show.
They're a bit of a bummer if you're driving / riding though.

Sounds like a rather complicated treatment for migraine but I might give it a go. Are the roses a vital part of the medication? :)

I agree. You can actually sit and watch them in wonder. The first one started with a blind spot in the centre of my vision followed my an expanding psychedelic, full circle pattern. Very typical of ocular migraine.

I suffered from migraines all my life. Really bad.
But since I retired 7 years ago, I've only had 1.

And I eat lots of cheese and chocolate.

As you say, everyone is different. I get migraines (ocular? lines in my eyes, can't see to drive) and it's always frustrating when well meaning folks say "oh, just stop caffiene, cheese, chocolate" etc etc.

I don't get them often but there is never a connecting theme of things I've eaten or drunk. In fact I'd often eat chocolate, drink coke and probably other 'junk' food (pasties from Greggs were a good one!) after as they'd take away the 'ill' feeling!!

Weird, but, everyone is different. And at our age, most of us have worked out if there's a connection from food or drink!! LOL

Amazon.

A few weeks ago I ordered three of the same item, they were delivered on three separate days over a period of about a month. This morning I got an email saying Amazon was processing a refund for one of them. I contacted Amazon to find out what was going on:

Sorry, system error. Normally we'd ask for a charge back but my manager says keep the refund.

It's only £3.91 but still. :)
