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...

Meant to say this earlier, but promise me that you'll mention this to your GP? I know you get headaches, but you've never had the blind-spot thing before, right? Just... get it checked out. Or there'll be trouble, missy. *tries to look stern*

Well, if nothing else, it's reminded me to get an optician's appointment (work pays \o/) But yes, it did occur to me that random sight-loss and flashing lights was probably something to mention to the doctor. Hopefully it's a one-off, though...

Hee! We both totally fail at stern *hugs back*
