What could also be useful is keeping a diary of how you are feeling and looking for trends.It will also be useful for a doctor to see when it happens, but also its good for yourself. It will give you more of a sense of control if you can monitor what is happening to you.

So for example I get bad migraine visual problems (no headaches just my eyes go "funny" for about 1/2 hour). I kept a diary of when it happened and worked out it was caused by specific type of lights. I also found out that rather than taking prescription medicines, 2 Ibuprofen worked better. So whilst my doctor prescribed the migraine tablets, I actually found a better way myself. I now avoid wherever possible the specific lighting that sends me funny, but I can also recognise the symptoms before they happen. It just helps me to manage it.
