Was it a migraine??

[ICEQUEEN20]

Had a very strange attack of disturbed vision and flashing lights this morning. It came on all of a sudden, I can only describe it as one flashing zig zag light that duplicated after a few minutes, then had lots of little blind spots in my eyes - lasted for about 20 minutes. I took a nurofen and laid my head down and shut my eyes - the lights sort of cleared from my central vision then went toward the outer sides of my eyes, then totally went, I am left with a headache and my eyes now feel very sensitive to light. It scared the life out of me - I am just glad I wasnt driving. Was this a migraine? I remember having something like this as a teenager about 20 years ago? Didnt like it at all.

and my PVD started with what I thought was lightening outside and a then a huge new floater. And my eye felt sore and I got a headache. That eye still feels sensitive to light.

My fault, I think. I mentioned detached retina in my answer. (or "retine" as I seem to have put).
