I sometimes get these weird vision things, where most of the visibility in one of my eyes gets clouded by a colorful noise. just like when you press your hand against your eye for a while. it lasts from 5 to 15 minutes and the dissipates. no pain nor nausea. I've had them all my life, but it was more frequent in my teens compared to now...
is there such a thing as a painless migraine?

Originally posted by wormwoodYes, there is. I only heard about it quite recently. Apparently it's called acephalgic migraine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migraine#Acephalgic_migraine

aw crap. I've had migraine level headaches, from an unrelated reason, and I'm really not keen on getting that again... my mom having a history of vicious migraine attacks probably doesn't help either?
well, at least I don't have 'the classical variation' yet.

Originally posted by Ragnorakive had really bad migraines before where i had to bury my face into my pillow to avoid the light. it was because i left my contacts in for like 2 weeks (disposible ones) and it scratched my cornea or something. but i get tension headaches like every other day
That's just from standing up too quickly.
You'll know when you get migraine.
