OK Ladies, I am now officially paranoid. As many of you know I suffered my first migraine aura at work a little over four months ago. Since that time, I have had 24/7 visual disturbances. Additionally, I have been suffering from anxiety and panic attacks. I had not been to work since the incident. While I was out, I learned that my male co-worker (50ish) suffered his first migraine with aura at work exactly 3 weeks after mine. I reluctantly returned to work last week after my work cancelled my health insurance and threatened to terminate me. Guess what I found out when I returned?!?! A third co-worker (female 50ish) had her first migraine with aura two weeks after the second co-worker. Three people who never had a migraine with aura before all suffered one within weeks of each other and all in the same building. I am terrified to go back to work. All this time I thought it was me, maybe it's the building?!?!

Hi Staci,
I got a new dr. and saw him a few weeks ago and he told me that my visual disturbances were Ocular Migranes!!!! Something I have never had before in my life!!!!!! I believe its Perimenopause that is causing it.......hopefully this eases your mind

That is very peculiar. I wonder what it could be in the building or is the job itself very stressful? There has to be a connection since all of you are experiencing the same thing.

I'm sorry it took me so long to respond. Our jobs are very stressful, but they have been working there for decades. I always smell a strong natural gas smell. I think there is something wrong with the air quality in the building.

Oh gosh, that is definitely something worth having checked out. That's no good to sit there and breathe that stuff in all day. Then to have to deal with the stress too.
