This past Thursday morning I believe I had a migraine, and now I am honestly so fearful of having another. I was making an appointment on the phone and reading my planner and I noticed that my vision was blotchy. It is very hard to describe but it was as if certain letters in each word I was trying to read were simply missing. I remember feeling very confused by this, I felt like my brain just was not "thinking". I got off the phone and sat down in front of the television that had been on, the volume set at a normal level. Meanwhile I had a nagging slight headache, nothing severe just enough to notice. Now things get very strange. My peripheral vision goes out or is simply white. I cannot see anything to my sides without turning my head. The volume on the TV seems to keep turning up, honestly like someone was in the room and had the remote. My headache has gone from a moderate ache to a severe throb that feels like it is located in my facial bones. The sunlight coming in the room was so very painful. I went into the master bedroom and tried to relax with a pillow over my head. The pain now feels like it is coming out of my eye socket. I am actually pressing on my facial bones to attempt to find some relief.
I had no idea what was happening to me. I phoned my mother, she calmed me down and said this was a migraine. Three hours later I feel I am on the other side of the mountain of pain.
I apologize for writing a novel about this very common experience but now I live in fear that it will happen again. All of you ladies out there who suffer from this, I am so very sorry. I had no idea how devastating this could be.
