or basically the article states:

in the day or two before a migraine starts, you may experience prodromal symptoms such as fatigue, excessive yawning, food cravings (such as for chocolate), irritability, or restlessness.3

aura

some people experience an aura within 30 minutes before a migraine headache develops. Symptoms of an aura usually develop gradually over 5 to 20 minutes.3 during an aura, you may have visual disturbances such as wavy lines, flashes, sparks of light, blind spots, or distortions. You may also feel tingling or a "pins-and-needles" sensation in your hands, arms, or face.

I have experienced very similar symptoms for the last three years. I have a lot of afterimages, weavy/lined patterns are difficult to view, I am very sensitive to bright lights but I also have trouble holding distant objects steady.

I have had numerous tests done (mri ver etc) but all show no abnormalities.

I don't suffer from migraines, I had a lumbar puncture 28 years ago! I do suffer a lot from headaches though

I go halfway blind for a few seconds after I get up from lying down but that's probably because of the blood flow from laying down to getting up and the sudden loss of blood to my brain. I do get the tingling pins and needles sensation sometimes and i'm sensitive to certain lights. One day I was chopping squash and doing that one type of cut where you hold the knife tip to the board at all times and rock it. When I was doing that I couldn't stop shaking. This all could be from being hypothyroid but I just wanted to share in case someone knew about something. I do get headaches sometimes but little ones but enough to get on my nerves.

Has anyone read this book? A brush with darkness about dealing with vision loss? Or seen what can be done if you loose your vision? I caught this on another website and was astounded.... Blindartist.Com.

I had an accident and I think I hurt my pelvis and lower back. I then started bearing down on my stomach all the time and don't know that I am doing it and cannot stop doing it. This then causes bladder spasm's extreme gas vision problems etc....I think it is my para sympathetic nervous system but NO doc will do anything for me because of all of my symptoms. I never even went to the doc for 45 years. I was very healthy. Got Colonoscopy and they gave me MRSA and because I beared down so hard the gas blew up my stomach and never went down. I am now destended. I was an athletic person and now can hardly walk and have MULTIPLE symptoms that nobody can put together. I think that the crusing injury and back injury started all of this. Anyone that knows anything would be appreciated. OH, the MRSA was in my stool and now I have body arthritis. all my bones have moved and turned along with my tendints. My elbows are turned upside down and my hip bone rose up to meet my rib cage. I actually grew three sizes. Even my shoulders widened like the pressure of the air from the Colonoscopy and bearing down actually moved my bones like they are not connected anymore.....No, I am not crazy or a hypochondriac.
