Hey, I just want to talk to other people
who have migraines and get a little more
information on them.
My migraines didn't start until I was 19.
I am 21 now, and i'm currnently in the
aura phase of my fourth one. Blessedly,
they don't happen often and i' not
normally debilitated for half the day.
I'm lucky. Mine normally last 3-4 hours,
with rest. I can't do anything during my
migranes, except lay around in pain. The
nausea isn't too bad for me, but I am
mildly sensitive to light and majorly
sensitive to head movement.
I get a lovely warning system as well,
that starts the classic 30 minutes before
hand. First, I get a blind spot on the
right side of my head; it's always the
same side, although where the blid spot is
varies. Still, it nromally ends up
obscuring about half my vision, alwys on
the left. The sport then turns into
sparkly zig-zag lines, and the vision
improves a little. The zig zags then fade
slowly, and the headache will come in, on
the left side of my head, near the front.
My migranes have all been exactly the
same, though completely random in
appearance... As far as I can tell. I
haven't been bothering to calculate if
they have all occoured before my period.
This one has; my period is due tomorrow.
But it's probably just coinicdence.
There is no other corolation between the
migraines, and i'm not on any medication
for them. Three identical headaches just
wasn't enough to go on I guess, and I
don't think four will be either. My
mother doesn't believe that they're
migraines.
My first one, I was just sitting, watching
a videogame. Second time, it was 10:00 pm
when I noticed the aura, so I just went to
bed. I was looking at a computr screen at
the time. Third time, I was in class. It
was a cinema class, but I don't remeber if
we watched anything. Now this time, I was
asleep and woke up already in the
blind-spot phase! So i'd almost be
willing to say that screens cause them,
except that this one, and possibly the
class one, are exceptions. Also, I look
at a lot of screen all the time; if that
was the trigger I should be debilitated
everywhere, and i'm not.
