Just thought i'd report that i experience fantastic occular migraines - features include
-No pain at any time
-Warm feeling
-feeling of complete wellbeing
-emotional feelings - used to get upset and cry, now giggle and feel really satisfied and elated
- visual disturbances which start as a bit of a blind spot (like you've looked at a bright light) then increase in size, e.g. so i can't see my own face when i look in the mirror (or am i a vampire???!!!) - or can't see own hands or some fingers etc.
visual disturbances increase to jagged shimmering lines, bit like the predator - no one colour, just all colours mashed up.
It "feels" shimmering and warm.(synaesthesia!!!)
- sometimes if left to develop arms and face can go numb or tingly.
- the most disturbing feature is disturbed speech. i get that feeling that you get where you have repeated a word (like your name) over and over til it becomes unfamiliar - well that happens with most words. I can say my mothers name and half think it might be her name but not be entirely sure!!! I get words mixed up and am not sure if they are right or not e.g. "have you got the key cars?" instead of "car keys"..... it's well weird.
GP assures me they are tension related & not a worry. I get them when two things occur - (1) mental "task piling" - when you are conscious of having loads of things to do, to set time limits (2) physical exertion - such as clearing out a cupboard, preparing for a party, etc.
If i get one i try to play piano as it feels more pleasing.
i have about 2 a year and thoroughly enjoy them. I have never done LSD but imagine it couldn't be much better. I have to sometimes take migraleve tablets which knock it on the head within minutes. I am never sick or headachey.
bet other people get this.
