Usually takes between 15-30 minutes for my field of vision to clear. A neurologist once told me that essentially what you're seeing is a dilated blood vessel, that will start out in the center, and pass to the peripheral areas of your vision within that time frame. <br /><br />Whee, huh? I'm so sorry you didn't know what it was when it was happening, that's actually the worst part of auras, if you don't know what they are, they can frighten the stuffing out of you. <br /><br />I hope you feel better soon. I think I've told you to try keeping some green tea on hand, some people have success with green tea as a treatment for migraines -- it isn't just the caffeine that helps, evidently it is something in the actual tea. Worth a shot :-)Land of shimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671954452597068904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842684642117669334.post-987480479001794662010-01-07T04:12:38.175-08:002010-01-07T04:12:38.175-08:00I hate migraines.

Just nothing there. Not a black spot, just "nothing".<br /><br />Weird.<br /><br />Hope you feel better. :(Meadowlarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208672418814503032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842684642117669334.post-19769189837128569362010-01-06T19:34:50.568-08:002010-01-06T19:34:50.568-08:00Hmmm...I thought they were headaches too.

Mine present with either an aura or a temporary numbness on one side (very disconcerting the first time you get it).<br /><br />I'm so sorry you had it, does a dark room and coolness help? It always does for me - and sleep....Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14721780347274988492noreply@blogger.com
