I'll preface this with saying I'm photosensitive epileptic, short-sighted, and also get migraines about once a year, so I do have a little insight, but it's the same conclusion as the others who have replied to you.Quote:

Still, it wouldn't necessarily matter if I or anyone else had experienced what you did. You experienced it, and this is enough by itself. Many of these issues can be very specific. For example, my triggers for epilepsy will not be the next person along's trigger for epilepsy (just the same with my anxiety, as it happens). Your migraine trigger effectively belongs to you and only you; it may parallel on occasion to others, and that's about it. Which means it's always better to go and see a doctor about it. Only though proper diagnosis will a person be able to manage their condition as the diagnosis will be more accurate than uneducated guesswork. If you get a diagnosis, then you can come to the interwebs and ask people about their experiences with their condition, and come up with mutual coping strategies. You don't sound there yet, and with luck, you'll never have to be.
If this is the first time you've had a migraine, I can understand if you didn't want to call your doctor straightaway. You're fine now, hopefully, and perhaps you can chalk it up to a one-off. However, if you start to see funny shapes at any time (that's how I know I'm getting a migraine, funny little geometric shapes form and look like they're made of TV static snow), you feel odd, or it happens just like it did to you the other day, it doesn't matter if you're in a dungeon or anything else, get off all your screens immediately (yes, all of them, which means mobile/cell phones too), darken your room and take the rest of the day to sleep it off. Take paracetamol if you are able, and get a good glass or bottle of water to hand. When your head clears up, call your doctor (I'm not going to discuss medical costs, because I don't know where you live and am in no position to advise you on that anyway), and go and chat about it with them. Only medical professionals with your history and testing are going to be able to properly diagnose you should there be anything to diagnose.
Anyway, hope it never comes to that for you, and that you're fine now. :)

04-22-2019, 10:22 PMFrizzePhysical pain? Not that i remember. Between my anima and the level 60 roulette only having that one dungeon in it(ok, it had the others but ARF came up like 10 times more often) i have so much emotional pain from that place i never need to see it again. For physical pain, ill agree with the others that a doctor visit(if you can afford) wouldnt be a bad idea. It could be nothing, but usually if its something then its better to know early. Hope all is well.Quote:

Encountered what seemed to be potion-jumped BLM couple days ago in Bardam.
I was a MNK and doing the rockbreaker rotation on the group of mobs, but they died really slowly. No one seemed to be significantly undergeared.
I saw the healer not really DPS-ing, but it still shouldn't be this slow.
I glanced at the party list and saw the BLM casting fire 2, so it should be fine right? whelp I was wrong.
I saw what the BLM was doing more closely, and apparently they cast fire 2 directly after thunder 4 (not starting with fire 3). They spammed fire 2 until low on mana, then they proceed to spam blizzard 2 directly! *facepalm* Spammed it until full on mana then proceed back to fire 2 spam. No enochian either.
After the mobs went to one, they switched to their single target rotation which apparently a fire 1 spam followed by blizzard 1 spam -_- still no fire 3 or blizz 3.
Tried to say something on party chat, but no response.
*sigh*
At the end, I just want this to be over, and left as soon as the last boss died, which they didn't bother to caster LB the wings. -

Labyrinth of the Ancients run, you'd think people know how to do this by now.
2 alliances wiped on first boss, no one bothered killing the skeleton adds. Healers from 1 alliance were on point fortunately so they salvaged that mess.
4 wipes on Atomos stage, all of them caused by ONE alliance, apparently the concept of 4 people on the platform is extremely difficult for people to understand.
2 wipes on the last boss, same alliance as the Atomos stage, they didn't understand the concept of running back to platform when he casts Ancient Flare. Even with half the raid basically screaming at them what to do.
I checked after the raid, the alliance that consistently caused wipes was from Moogle. So that was interesting. -

After that ordeal I had to force one of them to tank cerberus cuz i was on B which means I get inside the belly and then tank the adds and occasionally swap when the slashing debuff starts applying.
It's funny how those type of tanks fight you for aggro during the bosses where it matters yet when they get to a hard hitting boss they chicken out.
On Orbonne tanks will always fight me on aggro when I decide to MT except on A/Cidulfus cuz he actually makes all 3 tanks work and B/Ultima the high seraph as no one wanted to tank that boss cuz of the hard hitting Redemption tank buster.
Sometimes I just wanna wish u can shirk the tank from the other alliances cuz that way if they insist so badly on tanking I'm gonna give them the boss juuuust before the tank buster comes with a macro saying "oh you wanna tank that badly?Fine you take it then" xD
So take it from me,if they wanna tank, give it to em,sit back and wave your sword/axe around until u see the tank's body on the floor xD -

So once one pulls, some MAY fight you for aggro. I do not understand, so who cares.
And some are slow to the update that the boss is on a dps/healer and some don't NOTICE since the other 2 tanks were fighting for it before and they gave up fighting for aggro.
Some don't want to tank and just let their dps or healer tank an add
It's weird. -
