Have gotten a variety of migraines for years, from the "common migraine with aura" to ocular migraines to basilar migraines. Range from annoying vision stuff to severe dizziness to pain and puking for a day. Done a lot of research about them.

Most common trigger is lack of sleep, for all types. Then comes stress -- emotional stress, physical stress, or lack of food. Most people aren't triggered by specific foods but can be.
Maturity is knowing that I've been an idiot in the past.
Wisdom is realizing I will be an idiot in the future.
Common sense is trying to not be an idiot right now

(I always get annoyed when I see one of those) I'm glad you're okay.


"Oh, squiggly line in my eye fluid.
I see you there, lurking on the periphery of my vision.
But when I try to look at you, you scurry away.
Are you shy, squiggly line?
Why only when I ignore you do you return to the center of my eye?
Oh, squiggly line, it's all right. You are forgiven."

I got a ton of them all the time... no money to see the eye doc, but he said something a few years back about thinning of the retinal wall...


we'll see where it goes, but they annoy the crap out of me.
