All of a sudden, out of nowhere? Worst.

Yeah it was bleak.

Was on the train to meet my mate, and was looking out the window into the darkness of the city rolling past, when all of a sudden the right side of my vision reduced in range a bit. I blinked a few times, to see if it was just a visual thing, but nope, the aura came fast. I emailed my mate to tell him I was about to kick in (he knows about my condition) and to not expect me to be coherent when I arrived. I got there and he handed me two Ibuprofen out of nowhere. What a legend. That managed to hold off the worst of it until I got home, then it all kicked in like mental and I was fucked up for a few hours. Just caned a large pizza and drank a load of water and feel better.

Does eating usually help you too?

depends how harsh it is. the 'mild' ones can be helped with food. the savage ones put me out of action completely, including food

Now sitting here, spaced out, feeling listless, and not quite on the planet, with a jittering sub-noise of mental dread and paranoia lurking around. Had diarrhea this morning too, which is sometimes a feature of my post-intense phase migraines.

Oh well.
