Most of my life I have been fortunate enough to say that I would rarely get headaches, and never had experienced a true migraine until last year.
I've been on remicade for 3 years now, and it seems that once a month or so I get an almost debilitating migraine. I'm not sure if it's related to the remicade or just stress, I'm going to bring it up to my GI at my next appt.
Also, I had a weird experience last summer, where I started to have spotty vision from my left eye, that then turned into not being able to see anything from my left peripheral vision whatsoever, but only lasted about 30 mins and was gone. No headache, no dizziness, no other side effects. It happened again a couple weeks ago, same exact thing. My friend who's a nurse says it sounds like an ocular migraine, and upon researching remicade says there can be some neurological side effects from the drug.
Does anyone have any insight on these topics? Thank you!
