#534 GoodbyeHalcyondays's cousin

Time table

b. 1993 - Positive family history for migraine (mother and cousin affected also); no history of hallucinogen use
April 13, 2007 - Murdering of uncle; onset of acute stress reaction, then development of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD); 1st episode of persistent aura without infarction (visual snow) with full remission (ca. 2 months)

"... ever since my uncle was murdered in April 2007. His daughter [subject #534] said she experienced VS for over two months but it went away. She detailed what she saw so calmly that it scared me a little because it sounds like what I have now, which hasn't gone away for a year."

(GoodbyeHalcyondays [subject #526], Yuku forum Visual snow or static - General discussion - Sticky - Sofia Greene's survey about persistent visual disturbances, February 24, 2008)

"My aunt [subject's #534 mother] does have migraines too, but she has the headache with aura. My cousin [subject #534] doesn't have the headaches, but she gets auras."

(GoodbyeHalcyondays [subject #526], Yuku forum Visual snow or static - General discussion - GoodbyeHalcyondays, February 27, 2008)

"Yes, in both cases. [The aunt with a history of migraine is the widow of the murdered uncle and the cousin with aura his daughter.]"

"She [subject #534] lives in another country and it's very hard to get in contact with her on the phone. She isn't much of a computer person either. She doesn't speak english very well... I might see her in a few months and then I'll be able to talk to her and explain the survery to her a lot better than on the phone."

"My cousin has PTSD too, and has it far more worse degree than mine because he witnessed it and almost lost his life as well. He never had VS though, but his sister [subject #534] has. His younger brother is seeing a child psychiatrist. The other two [younger brother and sister, subject #534] heard what happened from upstairs."

"My cousin [subject #534] is 14, but I think she was 13 at the time. I'm not sure when it started for her and when it ended. I'll have to ask her."

(GoodbyeHalcyondays [subject #526], Yuku forum Visual snow or static - General discussion - GoodbyeHalcyondays, March 2, 2008)
