To this day, I'm still not sure what triggered it, but I have a suspicion it might've been dehydration. I wasn't expecting it though. I drank a full camelbak's worth of water on the drive from Omaha, had a Scooter's coffee, and then probably 2-3 bottles of water before the symptoms had started. If I had had just the coffee or something I would've thought "yeah that checks out" but, to this day, I'm still surprised it happened... especially since I'd never had one before.
I was at that game in Boulder. That was the first time I thought ‘maybe this won’t work out after all’. I don’t think I’ve even raised my voice during a Husker game since. Reached the acceptance stage.
I was coaching a football game and my vision started to get wonky. First it was tunnel vision then I it turned to double vision. Told the trainer I couldn't see right and he thought I was joking. I was like I can see but I can't see. Went off and on like that for a while and I went to see a bunch of doctors who told me I may have had a mini stroke, might have a brain tumor, MS, some other disease I can't pronounce. Ended up in Rush Hospital in Chicago to see a specialist next stop would have been mayo clinic. He looks at all my charts and tells me I was having migraines but only experiencing the aura not the pain. And that I had nerve damage in my eye. I was 30 at the time and freaked out for about 3 months leading up to him telling me that. Still get them usually when I am stressed. Still no pain
Do you work out if so, had you been training harder than usual? Did you go too long with out eating? Were you sleep deprived? Those have been the triggers for me over the years, usually a combination of all 3
