On the bright side, this new infirmity renders me incapable of researching my symptoms online - meaning, I can't fan the flames of my ever smoldering hypochondria. Aren't I lucky?
Anywhoo, off I go to commence my pre-Thanksgiving fridge cleanout - I need to fit a turkey in there somehow. See you tomorrow (I hope)! With pictures!

Honey, those are the twinges of a MIGRAINE. Get thyself to the medicine cabinet ASAP!
ReplyDeleteSincerely,
A recent victim of fatal retinal dysfunction (sorta)
Might be a weird migraine. Sometimes they manifest as flashing lights instead of actual pain.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon!
Ooh. I gotta go with the others. The only time I've ever had flickering in my vision, it was the start of a migrane. It was a nice circle right in the center of my line of vision.
ReplyDeleteOr, alternativel, maybe you slept with your arm over your eyes and temporarily squashed your eyeball.
Time will tell. Good luck!!!
Flashing lights?
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that it's aliens.
Maybe they'll eat your leftovers.
I have a partial vitreal detachment, that causes flashing lights. But when I called my eye doctor, they had me come in right away, because it can be a sign of retinal detatchment. If it were me, I would check right away. But I would DIE if I couldn't see, because then I couldn't read. Let me know what they say.
ReplyDeleteRetinal dysfunction can be FATAL? Oh dear...
ReplyDeleteI've had that happen and I'm still alive, but it does tend to drive me to a nap. Because if I can't be on the computer, what else is there to do?
ReplyDeleteUmmm, how about if you go to a doctor so we can quit worrying about you?!
ReplyDeleteWasn't there an early SNL skit with John Belushi and Jane Curtin about a "lens beetle" that would infested the human eye? Why travel far from your phobias for an explanation.
ReplyDeleteI think you should claim that you're going blind and have the family cook Thanksgiving dinner for you. It's worth a try!
