Migraine

If you do not know me well, i tends to get migraine frequently, it maybe once, twice or trice a month.
I remembered the very first migraine when i was 14 years old. I thought i am blind, i was pretty scared and helpless at that time. I soaked my eyes with water but the blind spots it just don't go away. I started to go crazy and agitated. Few minutes later, i start to see flashing light. I feel so abnormal! I thought it gonna be a disease or something.
After the flashing light is gone and vision cleared. I start to get really a bad headache on the side of my head.

Years later, i happen to do a research on migraine and i found out so much, about the blind spots, wavy/jagged lines and flashing light. You know, all these while i'd been asking around if anybody had the same symptoms as me. Nobody encountered it.

The reason i want to share is because, it has been a fear factor in my life.

Guys out there! If you happen to have the same symptoms as me. You're not alone haha! i mean I'm serious. It's really horrible.


Auras
In 15 to 20 percent of migraine sufferers, auras serve as a sort of warning sign that a migraine headache is about to occur. Aura symptoms generally last for 15 minutes to an hour. Most arise before the onset of headache symptoms, but they can also happen during or after a headache. The most common types of auras are visual. Visual auras include:
  • flashing lights or dots
  • wavy or jagged lines
  • distorted or blurry vision
  • blind spots or temporary loss of part or all of the field of vision in one or both eyes

Fuck off from my life!
