i definitely need a Doctor

[odycee]

So, this week's Doctor Who. It got to about half way through the episode and I thought that I'd got an after-image of a flash of light in my eyes. No. Turns out it was the start of a migraine. I've never had a migraine before and it freaked me out - I asked my mum at one point if David Tennant really did just have one huge eye or if it was just my vision (FYI - it was just my vision, David Tennant actually has two huge eyes). Everything turned into a Picasso painting and then I lost all my peripheral vision in my left eye. I was at my mum and dad's this weekend and luckily (or unluckily for her) my mum has migraines and so realised what was going on. Sod's Law - my vision returned to normal at about the end of the episode (and then the headache started). Needless to say, I need to go on the BBC iplayer to rewatch it all.

Can I take my body back and exchange it for a new one that works?

Oooh classic aura. Horrible, isn't it? I hope it's not the start of a series of them for you. Take care of yourself, avoid red wine, chocolate, all that stuff. At least you know what to look out for now, and always have migralieve on hand!

Apparently my zigzag yellow lines and pixellated edges around the fractured bit are almost exactly what my mum sees when she has a migraine. I've never had one before and I hope I never do again! Although next time, at least I won't think I'm going blind... It's in a category with earthquakes now - if it happens again, it'll still be a bit frightening but at least I know what's going on!

Avoid chocolate?! Not a cat in hell's chance! ;)
