    this is exactly what mine look like.
    mine fade in from a small point to a large dead spot and then fade back out to clear vision. when my vision is totally clear I know that I have about 20 to 30 minutes before the pain comes. it starts out as a dull ache and then gets to the point where I’d rather be dead over the course of half an hour or so. they typically last 3 to 4 hours.
    like another user said I found that just going to sleep is the best option.

    I never had a migraine until I was almost 30. I used to get regular headaches when I was younger but they weren’t bad at all.
    now I get these fucking migraines. lol
    at least they give me a little bit of warning though, I guess.

      I had regular headaches as a kid too but they kinda completely went away after I got migraines (not sure if exactly then, or shortly after). Now it’s just migraines, which I usually feel coming when my stomach starts to turn and the eye pressure kicks in. Luckily, pain meds like Ibuprofen work fairly well for me.
