For the past week, my migraine aura has been growing. Two days ago, it reached distraction state. This means that once again, while I'm talking with someone, I'll be occasionally shooting quick glimpses off to my upper right. This makes the person I'm talking to also look off in that direction, not see anything, and assume I'm batfuck.

They're right, in a sense. Who but a batfuck person will see their own personal strobe light show, complete with sunlight reflecting off a rippling pond, when no one else can? I feel a light pressure on the top of my head and on my right eye. It doesn't hurt at all. It's just a small, ghostly weight.

A few minutes ago, my brain started to become foggy again, too. This is not good. I've held this aspect of my migraines off for about a year and a half. Why is it returning now?

I'll betcha those couple of times I woke up with a sense of foreboding were triggered by the swelling of this migraine. Here's hoping I don't once again cross the threshold into longterm blindness and stupor again.

For a week...my aura usually only last for a few hours, but then they get so bad that I dare not even move until it's gone. I suppose that's the trade-off.
Hope you get better soon.

Your brain obviously misses Tim Horton's.

But seriously, are you maybe drinking less coffee now,
not being around it as much?

Please don't cross over to the dark side. I'm rooting for you from here.

Have you already been to a doctor to get that checked out...? It certainly doesn't sound normal.
