@xrodneyboyx Are you a female? If yes, it could be related to your menstrual cycle. I have problems at ovulation time.

I get this growing blind spot right near the center of the vision of the effected eye, which spreads out to the outer edges of the vision of the effected eye. As it spreads, the center clears back up. After my vision fully returns, I get the headache. Sometimes I slur my speech and begin to stumble right before one of these as well. Any ideas?
