Right, so I came home from class, fixed lunch and sat down to watch some That 70’s Show on my computer only to realize I had some funny spots in my vision. Well, the spot got bigger and bigger until I realized it’s not something with my vision, it’s absolutely a migraine aura. You’ll have to google it yourself ’cause I can only see the left side of anything really right now so I can’t be sure I’m linking you to a good, informative site.Basically they’re different symptoms people get before they even have a headache. I get sparkly blobs in my vision and generally I start getting numbness in my face and fingers. Right now I’m only losing vision.I’m supposed to work tonight so I’m trying really, really hard to head it off. I don’t know if that’s possible though….We’ll see.It’s weird because right now I feel fine other than half my site is obscured by a pretty, sparkling sparkles….

They still give me panic attacks. Today I experienced a new one since I stayed awake instead of crashing–I couldn’t speak straight. It took me 3 full minutes to figure out how to say “stroke,” it just kept coming out “stoke.” At the rate I’m going, I figure within the next two years I’ll experience all the common ones at least once.

I’ve had migraines, but I’ve never gotten an aura before. Prepare the hot washcloths and dark shades quickly!!! I have a friend uses medicine called…Relpax I think? You’re only allowed to have like two in a month, so it’s pretty strong stuff. Hope you feel better soon.
