Hey all, have any of you experienced darkness or near blindness on the eye during an attack? I always get that and the doc said that was unusual. It gets real dark around the edges, may have to do with the pupil contracting.Also, alcohol does not trigger it for me, neither does cannabis (hey, I live in Amsterdam). Is that normal? Anyone here have that as well?cheers,Derek
