Visual Snow: Anyone experience this?

My wife suffered from a migraine about 60 days ago and the VS has never gone away. She doesn’t ever get a headache but does occasionally get a severe aura. Has anyone had any luck being treated for this? We are currently trying to get seen in Michigan and Milwaukee to resolve this since it has been so debilitating for my wife. She is so depressed she wants to give up.

I feel for her it’s very depressing. Same thing is happened to me in April 2017 started seeing large spots with a bad with a headache. Then to follow was my visual snow that will not go away. I had a good 4 months recently where I wasn’t noticing it anymore it was after a steroid injection in my neck for my disk bulge. Doctors wouldn’t connect the two but I think it may be related. Two weeks ago the visual snow came back bad and it may be because my steroid injection is wearing off. I’m going in tomorrow to doctors office to try Botox for migraines I will let you know if it helps with my visual snow.

Thank you so much for your post. It is comforting to hear that there may be hope for her. Ironically she was diagnosed with a bulging disk a couple of years ago after an MRI. Maybe they can try the same thing with her. Good luck with the Botox injections, please let me know if it helps you as well.

Hello @peterpan226 -- I ran across an interesting Mayo Clinic article on a new device to prevent migraine attacks.
