Oh

I had strange pulsating multi-coloured zigzags shooting around the top left of my vision for half an hour, and now I have a bad headache and feel sick. Is this a migraine? I've never had one, so wouldn't recognise one if it leapt out at me and went Boo!, and my head hurts too much to look it up. (Am typing with eyes mostly shut.)

Off to bed.

Yes, that is almost certainly migraine. I had the visual disturbance happen to me for the first time a few years back, and when I also couldn't read because of holes in my vision and it kept on for a while I went to doc to find out if I needed to be worried. I was told it was migraine, and if it didn't hurt too badly I was ahead of the game.

It was really quite bizarre. I've never had anything like it before. I knew that strange visual things often happened with migraines, but I'd always assumed that the headache happened at the same time. Oh well. There's a first time for everything...
