Thanks for this thread. I have had those silent migraines for years, I was never sure what they were about. I used to get them when I was around florescent lights a lot. Haven't had one in a while (knock on wood) I have been dealing with the "dream like" state, it never lasts very long. I would be real interested to know more about the brain spotting, I will ask my t when I see her also. Plus do some research myself. It seems this time getting help for my depression no one tells me much seems to blame it on just getting old ,which I don't feel. I would really like some answers. Thanks again.
