@A MyFibroTeam Member, my doc calls those silent migraines, the ones with auras but no pain. Mine present stroke-like symptoms, so the doc had me checked for lesions on my brain. No lesions and it was verified that I do have a brain. My silent migraines affect my short term memory as well as coordination, sight, sound, speech and balance. Makes me almost wish for the pain. That's easier to treat.

Its called aura migraines. My ophthalmologist said they were aura migraines. I had optic neurits and lost visiin in my right eye and had to go on IV steroids to recover my sight. Since then i get them. Ive been tested fir MS and everyrhing came back negative. I also found out on website that fibro can lead to blindness. I agree on that. Isince then ive lost my sight again. Without any warning. Just for a few seconds my vision now is really blurry. I dont drive anymore cause i dont know when my sight will go again. Its scary. The first they treated me for was sinus infection. That wasnt the case.

I have Opthalmic Migraines which is aura without pain. The vision in one eye becomes distorted, with a blind spot occurring, followed by zig zagging bright lines and cloudiness. This all lasts for about 20 minutes and I sometimes have difficulty speaking for a few minutes. There is no head pain but I feel generally unwell for 3 to 4 hours after it.

I've had weird symptoms over the past 6 weeks, urine incontinence at night and biting my tongue so hard it wakes me up. Also tremors all over my body, wanting to stretch my neck and arms. Told my neurologist he ordered labs and urine test, didn't change my meds. I'm under stress, with the move and packing, but I'm really worried.

Do you think it is quite common for fibro sufferers?
