Sorry to hear that
Hope your feeling better now though.
I get about 2 a year...and mine are more or less a vision and ballence type though. It starts by me seeing a blury spot that appears dead center of my vision, and that soon turns into a line about 1 inch long I guess. Then it starts slowly moving over to the right side of my field of vision and eventually dissappears (about 45 mins total). When I first started getting this, I used to go about my business and after it was over, I would get a bad headach behind my eyes and I would have almost no sence of ballence, and I would start feeling sick. Now when I start to get those, I simply go to sleep....and IMO that cuts the after effects down (pain wise and severity) by over half.
I was told that the line was an arrora (sp?)...basically a warning that im about to get a migrane.
So what about you San~man, does the migrane just HIT or do you get some sort of warning?
