Those of you who have seen these will know what my morning is like…. at least I won’t be reading much today!
Oh, but this is kind of cool – a page about migraine art – maybe I’ll look at it later – after the headache – which is about to begin.. left side of my head, above the eye, oh joy…. I have not had a migraine since 2001, when I was flying back from San Fransciso shortly after 9/11 and caught in the airport security crush. I got a terrible migraine from that. Today, this just came on suddenly with no apparent reason, other than maybe hormonally related.
I do have to admit, the visula effects are pretty stunning. Cool jaggy rainbows everywhere. It’s kind of pretty until the headache starts….I got some food and ibuprofen in me so maybe it won’t be too bad.

The top drawing is the closest to what I experience. Hope you are feeling a bit better now.
The zigzag rainbow is the term I use for my aura’s and the second picture is very close to what I see. The line vibrates, starts out as a spot and opens like a book, getting larger until it is out of view. I also lose 1/2 of what ever I look at to a blurry image. Does anyone know the cause, I usuall get no headach at all but sometimes get a very mild one. For years I got terrable headaches with no aura, that was before a historectomy and harmone replacement. The headaches went away and years later the aura’s started. Normally it’s one or two a year but in the last week I have had 8 of them. Went to ER as instructed by my doctors office and they did a cat on my brain, it shows normal. So looks like it isn’t in my brain, just my head. My mother had a friend who said she had them frequently before she had a stroke. The nurse said sometimes they can be caused by a stroke or a detached retna.
Would like to find a chat room for those of us who have this. Any ideas?
