If you see this image you see a sparking crescent thing that grows and lasts about an hour
They are annoying and I find it very difficult to read and I dare do not drive a car when I have one. I had my last one last month and I may get about three in a year. The worst ones I get do not end with a headache


Hell yes. Almost daily :( But they're not as consistent as the one you show, I'm able to function with them. (I don't drive)

I often get the ocular only or "silent migraine" and maybe 2 or 3 times a year I get the full blown
aura to barf migraine with agony in the middle....

These are some of the artwok done by other Migraineurs....

This painting by William Blake looks a bit like an aura or "Aurora Dolorosa" as I call them...
"Ancient Of Days"

Had one more migraine aura yesterday and I took a careful not of how it appeared at the time. It lasted about 50 minutes
This is how it started
I set to work describing with coreldraw

Image
Beginning first as like a flickering lens flare mark on my vision

Image
Then the flare mark grew much bigger and flickered

Image
Pretty soon it took over both sides of my vision field

Image
Then it got really weard

Image
Then after 50 minutes my vision completely returned back to normal and I had a slight headache for a few hours afterwards
