Well, that was kind of freaky

At about 9.30 this morning, I developed a blind-spot and I mean that literally. For about 10 minutes, I simply couldn't see what was in the bottom right quarter of my field of vision. It was only when I also started to see flashing lights that I started to think maybe it wasn't eye-related but brain related. When I told a colleague, her immediate reaction was "you're getting a migraine. go home."

Judging by the pain in my head, she was right, although I'm getting off lightly, and it's bearable for the moment. And no, I don't intend to look at the screen for much longer. Even I'm not that daft. Well. Not quite. Probably.

So now I have a whole new exciting field to research - I like to know what's happening to me, especially when it involves brain cells, and if I'm going to get migraines, even mild ones, I want to be ready for it. Research skillz - I has them.

Assuming things done get worse, there will be fic later (thrilling, I know, but try to contain your excitement ;)) and some proof-reading of the tardis_bigbang website. We go live tomorrow and still so much to do!

How's everyone doing? Do drop in to say hi. I'll be here all day, in between headaches...

Oh no, not migraines... *hugs* I hope it goes away soon enough.

Unsolicited Medical Advice: If you can find some riboflavin (also known as B-2 in some pharmacies), try taking 200 - 400 mg. (My mom seems to only take 200 mg, and is usually able to function a little later in the day, rather than spend it and the next day recovering.)

I seem to only have a mild case - blind spot and flashing light, but no worse a headache than I'm used to (I get them quite a lot which I've always blamed on too much time in front of the computer ;)) and I slept through most of it, so that's something.

I'll add B2 to my list, just in case! thanks :)
