I've noticed if I don't drink enough water I get them easier but I still get them even if I drink 150 Oz of water. Flourescent lighting seems to trigger then as well. I know of some people have had luck with beta blockers as a preventive. My mother gets them as well, so it very well could be genetic.

I think there's a lot of theories.
I know mine were often triggered by bright lights, particularly reflected light from the sea, windows or snow, but not always.
My mother used to get them too, but she was convinced it was stress and chocolate that caused hers.
So maybe a genetic link also ?
That sounds like ocular migraine.

Actually, being British, rather than English myself, I apologize to our Welsh, Scottish and Irish CDRers for that.
Though in my defence, the poster on Chat may have said English, but I think not.
Sorry.
Accepted!

Good evening Lyn.

Why do you sound so 'astonished?' It shouldn't surpise you, I think.
Hi Gillian well yes I expect a military woman would have them!:)
How are you and Oli today? Heatwave still with you?

similar problem myself, i made an instagram account up... keep seeing pics of torts on pellets, steep water dish etc... to comment or not?
You never know when your comment is going to be the one that makes the difference, that gets the animal the care it needs. I typically comment on substrate but not on water dishes (unless the keeper is receptive to change). Sometimes it takes me a long time to figure out how to say it so the message is heard and the person doesn't feel attacked.
