text: sudden migraine aura? i have been a migraine sufferer for years, topamax has been a life saver! i neglected to remember it for my vacation (along with all my other meds...i felt like such a dope!) anyways, i was getting ready to go on one of those 3-d thrill rides, you know where you wear the 3-d glasses and you sit in the chairs and they move the chairs around so you feel like you're in the movie. anyways, i was standing up in line staring at the screen with my 3-d glasses on and all of a sudden it felt like my eyes were being squeezed together, i was suddenly very nauseous, and dizzy. i was very disoriented. i immediately removed the glasses and looked away from the screen. it was like a very sudden, intense migraine aura. it went away, but i didn't put those glasses back on! i've never experienced anything like it. i plan on discussing it with my neurologist, but unfortunately that appointment isn't until next month. anyone else? if the screen was flashing you could possibly have migraines caused by the light.  i have a sensitivity to fluorescent lights and cannot stay under just that kind of light for more than an hour or so.  my neurologist said that the lights flash very quickly and it causes a reaction in the brain similar to epilepsy, but not on such a severe scale.  i would get terrible migraines and lose my short-term memory. good luck!
