Post by: DalPuri on May 25, 2013, 04:11 PM

Anyone ever had one of these?

Got one going on at the moment.  ;) probably the 3rd i've ever had. They last about 30 mins, no pain just trippy visuals.
First time it happened i shit meself! (already having glaucoma in one eye) Then when i later found out that its just one of those things and nothing to worry about, i wish i'd had some mushrooms.  ;D

Cheers, Frank.  :)

Not experienced here, Frank.  I sincerely hope it stays that way ...

Similar to if you pressed against your eyelids and see coloured patterns, only these are always a zigzag pattern in a crescent shape. Very weird. 
Reminded me of the Nexus from a Star Trek film trailing across my eyesight.  ;)

I've been having these for years.
First time was while watching the 2006 World Cup.
The ball kept disappearing as I tried to follow it across the screen. Very worrying.
From there I had them, maybe, twice a year.
Last year (2012) they came every month.
This year none.
They always last about 20 or so minutes.
I'm still not sure what brings them on as I've had them when perfectly relaxed.
Could be a blood pressure thing.

I get very similar after the 8th pint of strongbow!
