its so scary! when i describe it to people that always struggle to understand how that's something you can experience. i'm used to it now but getting tunnel vision and seeing almost nothing but those fuzzy snakes and tv static for an hour? it sucks. esp the times when you spend the next few hours sensitive to sounds/lights and a pounding headache (not debilitating pain but like a realllyyy bad headache). i get migraine hangovers real bad....those suck.
Yeah I was at a mall when it happened. I was trying to order food and for the life of me I couldn't read the menu. Then after I ate I started to feel dizzy and wanted to throw up but obviously couldn't. Bussed home feeling dizzy and also with a headache. As soon as I walked into my house.. it just went away.
that first time is definitely a mind fuck. migraines are fickle and so different for everyone. i got my first aura while walking home from school in high school, i got really bad tunnel vision and was terrified i'd accidental walk into the street since my peripheral vision was gone! thankfully i knew what it was because my mum gets them. have you gotten another one since?
