GettingByGurlDo you get changes in your vision due to migraine? Had some new migraine aura this weekend - sorta diagonal rainbow prismish bars. I’m usually a mini comet storm or ball lightning aura kinda gal.

ideogramToday I had #ExplodingHeadSyndrome and #MigraineAura, so technically that visual and auditory hallucinations in one day, without chemicals or psychosis.
Mike 🇬🇧 🇪🇺I've had a couple of visual migraine /migraine aura episodes over the last couple of days - quite minor and short lived compared to what I've had in the past.
One weird thing is, that I think I'm getting Phantosomia - smelling something that isn't there, in this case a leather-like smell, it's very faint, but it seems to precede the visual symptoms.
As usual the migraine is associated with stress, and as always there's no headache.
If this carries on, I think it'll be a call to the doctor - which I can do without - particularly if I get sent back to the Neurologist again.
Shantell PowellWhile training at the gym, I accidentally looked at the sun reflecting off a windshield and that triggered my scintillating scotoma. I spent the final third of my gym time minus about a third of my vision. A bright circle of electric blue-white light, like sparks from an arc welder, strobed across my field of vision. I was afraid I wouldn’t be ok to ride my bike home, but thankfully it went away after about fifteen minutes. I guess I’m going to have to wear my sunglasses at the gym.
Whenever this strikes, I’m always scared it will not go away. At its worst, I’ve had it 24/7 for four months across about 75% of my vision. Because it’s such an unusual disorder, most folks have no idea how incapacitating it is. I usually get a sort of hangover afterwards which leaves me with increased brain fog.
I suspect it might have been caused by the Irvings spraying DDT over my home a bunch of times when I was a little kid. #ScintillatingScotoma #MigraineAura #NeurologicalCondition #BrainFog #InvisibleDisabilities #IndustrialPoisoning
Janet Logan (she/her) 🏳️⚧️2nd f'ing #migraine this week just started. I hate my body sometimes. Well, if I'm being honest, most of the time.
I have a neurological condition called scintillating scotoma. I’ve also had it referred to as migraine status aura. Its kinda like tinnitus of the eyes. (I have tinnitus too). It’s a chronic condition which means I always see sparkling lights in part of my vision. I used to have it so bad that it was like a strobe show plus fireworks 24/7. Sometimes straight lines, like laser beams, would shoot out in front of me and I’d jump away from them. I wasn’t able to read because the light show covered up all the words. I’ve noticed that since having COVID, it’s getting worse again. I can still read, but the light show is creeping larger and larger. It’s worse when I’m in bright environments. I really hope it doesn’t get as bad as it used to be. It is impossible to concentrate with constant built-in fireworks. Right now, it’s more like the sun reflecting off a rippling lake. I wouldn’t be surprised if COVID is what brought this back. #NeurologicalDisorder #ScintillatingScotoma #MigraineAura #COVID #Disability #Blindness

dreamcollaji’ve been getting random migraine auras once or twice a year ever since my mom died four year a ago. starts as a blurry scintillating squelch in the centre of my vision then grows and disappears over the course of a half hour. must lay down while vision is impaired. i had one just now. only usually a mild headache afterwards. trippy #visuals with prismatic colours warbling constantly. looks like this #sketch #doodle #abstractart inspired to make animated .gif of this later #migraineaura #grief
