My first migraine was a doozy! I was too dumb then to be frightened about it, though. LOL Suddenly I had a huge aura in front of me and I could only see around it, not through it. It was years and years before I had another aura. Now I get aura's a lot of times but they grow quickly and then disappear. I can see through the auras now, too.

Lately, though, the auras have been getting stranger and stranger. Each one is different. I get double vision, too, but that goes away quite quickly, too. The first time and the second were the only times it's put me to bed with the pain, though. GEEEEZ! That's worse than labor and I screamed, moaned and groaned with my second kid! With the pain from the migraine, I felt like beating my head on the headboard! I think I'd rather have the pain than the blindness, though! YIKES!

IDK, if I ever have a stroke, I probably won't know it until some body part goes dead. LOL A stroke is my greatest fear. I watched the grandmother (SHE deserved it!) and my mom die from them. (shiver!!!!) Thankfully, I'm on meds to prevent one, and diet, of course.

Next stop, the neurologist. It's heck getting old, ya know? Don't do it! LOL
