So I am finally getting healed up and I can breath through my friggen nose, so I have been able to go to the gym to work it out. Well Monday I get to the gym, change into my gym clothes, get on the treadmill and not 25 minutes later I get a god damned aura. So while the aura is still small I jump off of the treadmill and run into the locker room, jam all of my crap into my bag and start driving home in an attempt to get home before the aura blinds me completely. No such luck, halfway home I am on the freeway with a million of my fellow Americans and I am almost 100% blind. Even with no depth perception and my peripheral vision the only functioning part of my vision I still drove better than the majority of them. I guess they were distracted by their cell phones or their fast food. So I stayed in the right lane and didn’t change lanes until my exit came and got home safe and sound.
Then the fun started, as my aura started to subside Method Man Brung the pain. If you never had a migraine, don’t. When the aura subsides I normally experience an odd mixture of slight nausea with carnal hunger that borders on starvation (the sensation not actual starvation). Then my wonderful wife made me a big bowl of spaghetti, I ate a few cookies and then passed out until it was time to go to work the next day.
12 hours later…
I wake up after having very strange dreams (another side effect) and go into work, as I load a board onto the laser pain shoots through my head (another side effect) so I try to take it easy, but some days its just impossible to take it easy.
The End
this sounds similar to a seizure. never had a migraine, but plenty of spastastics. ended up on the bathroom floor at target once. that was embarassing.
oh, i’m reading your blog.
