Day 11 #HAWMC Migraine on Wiki For Real
Today's #HAWMC prompt is about revising our condition on Wikipedia's page. This won't be a problem.
Here is Wiki's entry:
Retinal migraine (also known as ophthalmic migraine and ocular migraine) is a retinal disease often accompanied bymigraine headache and typically affects only one eye.[1] It is caused by a vascular spasm behind the affected eye.
Maybe this should be the "corrected" entry:
Retinal Migraine is not an ophthalmic or ocular Migraine. Nor is it a retinal disease. Retinal Migraine is a Migraine attack that has repeated, disrupting visual bouts before the headache phase of said Migraine[1] . Retinal Migraine symptoms can range from diminished vision, flashing lights and the most scary; temporary blindness. There is no diagnostic test to confirm Retinal Migraine, but it can be diagnosed according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders, 2nd Edition (ICHD-II) and by ruling out other conditions. It is important to have other reasons for temporary blindness ruled out.
Migraine with aura and Retinal Migraine differ in a few ways. Retinal Migraine may have temporary, complete blindness in one eye, as well as visual aura in one eye. Migraine with aura may affect both eyes.
For other great corrected entries, read more in Wego's Health Activist Writer's Month Challenge.
