Ah man that must feel so good . My first thought whenever I have problems with my ears is always ' but what if I never dive again ? !'. Glad you ' re back at it D <| sep |> This puddle isn ' t roughly USA shaped , it ' s been cropped to cut out the unnecessary parts . <| sep |> Wait , people post sober ? <| sep |> I have had apparently lots that aren ' t too bad . I always called them headaches . Then I ended up in emergency because I panicked at some sudden peripheral vision loss thought I was having a stroke or something and by the time I got in , my vision was fine , but my neck and head hurt . That ' s when I was told that my vision loss was an aura , and I was now having a migraine . I argued , said it wasn ' t debilitating , couldn ' t be a migraine , but was told migraines vary , some people get the aura or nausea , and skip the pain entirely . I ' m really lucky , they suck but an ibuprofen will kick its ass fairly well , and I ' ve never missed work or anything . But they are diagnosed as migraines .
