RE: Arm-Worn Electrical Device Could Treat Migraine as Effectively as Medication
I've only had one in my life that was even close to bad. When parts of my vision disappeared and I was moving an invoice I was reading around so I could see what was under the blank spots in my vision.
That must be scary if you don't normally get them!
She'd had it temporarily paralyze parts of her body, and all sorts of things like that.
Wow that is pretty bad and worrying too.
These days it is usually getting flashed by bright sunlight reflected off of something that triggers hers.
That happens to me too - particularly if I am driving and the sun is low on the horizon - I think it is a common trigger.
Mine was not scary, because I didn't realize what was going on and it hadn't started hurting yet.
I just told her I had to move an invoice around to read the total because there were like blank spots.
She said I was having a migraine and that stuff usually happens before the pain. She gave me something and it knocked me on my ass.
So I never did feel the pain.
It wasn't that scary. Some of them that have happened to her have been pretty scary. Like I said she doesn't have them nearly as often now.
You are braver than me! I would convince myself it was a retinal detachment or a stroke!
I think it changes with age - I used to get them a lot more as a kid and a teenager so I wonder if there is some hormonal component.
