I actually thought I might be having an aneurysm or a stroke. It was weird.

An iridescent zigzag appeared in part of my field of vision, and another portion of my field of vision just… stopped. I had this big blind spot for like an hour, all while this jagged rainbow bastard chilled in my left peripheral.

That went away slowly, only to be replaced with vertigo and exhaustion. Almost no headache, though. I kept verifying that one side of my face wasn’t paralyzed or whatever because I’ve had migraines a few times before, but those were nothing like this! Apparently they can just be this way.

Does anyone else get these? They’re dumb.

    Yeah, they’re the only type of migraine I’ve ever experienced and thankfully only a handful of times, I find if it happens going for a nap is the best remedy

      …or if you happen to have mainlined the equivalent of 8 espressos, catching up on that latest album you haven’t checked out yet is an option. That’s what I did last time I got one of these.
