Default Anyone have similar symptoms?

've had PD for 11 years now, since I was 34 years old. I recall it beginning with a massive migraine.

Something I've noticed occurring more recently. I get these headaches that are followed by waking up after a nights sleep and opening my eyes to what look like dead motionless transparent cells=like you would see in a microscope, in my eyes( once or twice they were wiggling). They disappear as soon as I blink-or move my gaze. Ophthalmologist sees no issues with my eyes and my dr. says ,"hmm, interesting". Internet research attempts turn up no match.
Thanks, Kathy

Default migraines

Sounds like it might be floaters. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/eye-floaters/DS01036

My Mood:
Default relatively recent

Not a true floater since it doesn't move, what I assume is the first stage of a cataract in my left eye showed up a few months ago. Like you I was diagnosed 10 years ago.
