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 I get these, but I barely see anything crazy like in the image. It’s there but it’s also more like a blindspot that grows until I can only see things that I’m looking at directly (foveal area). So like, if I was reading this paragraph back I’d eventually just be able to see an individual word or maybe an individual letter. But an hour later everything is back to normal. They suck but luckily I don’t get them so often. Stress seems to bring them on.
This has been my experience as well. They’re annoying but not painful at all.
Do you also bounce back as quickly as @nzodd does?
I’ve felt godawful since the acute symptoms faded. Almost flulike, but not exactly. Really hard to explain.
Yeah I’m totally back to normal after the visuals fade.
