So pretty much my whole life I have suffered from migraines but it wasn't until I was about 22 that they started arriving with Auras. If you've never had one, they're the weirdest damn things. The first time I was working at Blockbuster. I was working the check out and my scanner broke so I was having to type in all the card numbers manually. For some reason the cards kept getting harder and harder to read until I realized part of my vision was missing. As this was the first time anything like this had ever happened to me, I was scared. For a moment I thought maybe I was going blind or was about to have a seizure. I took my lunch break and sat by myself for a while trying to calm down. The missing spot in my vision had turned into a bunch of dark wavy lines while the rest of my vision sort of seemed to sparkle. After a while it all faded away, my vision returned to normal and I got a massive head ache.
Honestly I'm now rather glad for the auras. As soon as they show up I know I'll be in all kinds of pain in about an hour, so it gives me time to escape from wherever I'm at and get home or at least some where dark adn quiet before it's too late.
