10. I had those when I was a teen.

They'd happen every few months or so. For those not familiar with them, a spot would appear in my field of vision, so I'd blink repeatedly and if it didn't go away, I knew I was in trouble and I could go ahead and write off the next few hours. I likened it to a spinning diamond, and it would grow and take up a good bit of my field of vision. At its peak, I'd feel an intense wave of nausea. Once I got sick, the "diamond" would go away and I'd suddenly feel better. For some strange reason, I'd have a ravenous appetite afterward.

Fortunately, mine ended after my teen years. I hope you find some relief.
