first occular migraine

first migraine with aura

first migraine with aura

i have suffered from migraines without auras for years. i had a hysterectomy 4 months ago and have not had any since the surgery. a few days ago i had a silent migraine with the patterns of light. i thought i was dying -- i told my son to call 911 if i passed out. the first thing i did when it ended was try to draw out what it was like in photoshop. here is what it looked like when i tried to find the eye doctor's number on yahoo.

Yes Allyson that's what it often looks like to start (the aura, that is). But don't be scared if it occasionally changes ... I sometimes get a "warning" -- what I call Halley's Comet goes flying by my field of vision. The most important thing is to get into a comfortably dark room and sleep it off(or at least rest). Remember, auras seldom last more than 30 minutes, altho they do sometimes return during the same "attack". I've had as many as three, but this is rare. Don't try to drive during an aura, or use a computer. It'll just make it worse.

As you probably now know - you're not alone! But it can be frightening when you don't know what's going on (actually, even when you do!).
