Glitter

[shanmonster]

This is weird, but after over a decade, I can't deny it anymore. My migraine hallucinations are always worse in a lit bathroom. Particularly when I'm standing over a bathroom counter, and especially when I'm leaning a bit, like when I'm looking in the mirror more closely, or spitting in the sink.

If I've been sitting in a dim room, the flickering lights may be all but gone. But once I'm in the lit bathroom, the intensity goes waaaaaaaay up, and the flickering becomes strobe-like.

Why the bathroom? I just don't get it. It might have something to do with all the white in there, and the bright lights. Holy crap, that's weird.

I am currently on day eleven of a new glitter migraine. I believe it was brought on by the asthma attack I had caused by a fog machine at the Dangerous Liaisons play. I sure hope it goes away. This is the first longterm migraine I've had in about four years.

It often tends to look like very bright sun light rippling off a lake surface. Sometimes it's lime intense strobe lights flashing in my peripheral vision. Sometimes it's holes in my vision, with no color of any kind, not even black or white. Just invisible holes lmaking Swiss cheese out of what I see.

sounds different from what i see... it starts as a small sparkling, wavering point in my vision, almost like someone pixelated reality, then it expands out from that point, forming into shimmery lines and edges. it seems to happen for only one eye, but it's not particular which one. lasts about 20 minutes and then expands out of my field of vision.
