That would be what we refer to as shadows. It's not a full blown attack but has some of the hallmarks without all of the pain. For some it's horner's symptoms. For others (like me) it's just pressure and some relatively minor pain in the eye area. Like a pair of salad tongs squeezing my eye.

If they are persistent enough I try a few things. Usually in this order:

Strong Coffee
Oxygen therapy
Excedrine Migraine
An energy drink (w/1000mg of Taurine)

Others will be along with their magic recipies as no one thing works for everyone.

Where there is life, there is hope.
Where there is Oxygen, you must use proper caution.
So be safe, don't smoke while using O2. Kill the pain and not yourself.

You don't ask doctors for oxygen, Sparkles. You collect all the knowlege and information on the subject, hand it to them, and tell them it's what your gunna have.

Just to add to his... It is best to drop the info off a few days before your appt. That way the Dr has time to digest it properly. Then the two of you will be on the same page during your appt.

Good luck...
