  1. Today I had #ExplodingHeadSyndrome and #MigraineAura, so technically that visual and auditory hallucinations in one day, without chemicals or psychosis.

  2. I just did a fun anatomical/symptomological art workshop with @lia_pas Here’s what I came up with in regards to my headaches and scintillating scotoma. #poetry #anatomy #poetry #scotoma #brain #neuralgia #headache #migraine #MigraineAura #art #ChronicPain #IndigenousCreatives

    How the hue in vivo comes
    Scotoma shakes
    Rain irks
    Young placates
    Sits in young non-tree
    Colossal corpse.
    Venal struck, tunnel blind.
    This order schisms in vitro.

  3. I have a neurological condition called scintillating scotoma. I’ve also had it referred to as migraine status aura. Its kinda like tinnitus of the eyes. (I have tinnitus too). It’s a chronic condition which means I always see sparkling lights in part of my vision. I used to have it so bad that it was like a strobe show plus fireworks 24/7. Sometimes straight lines, like laser beams, would shoot out in front of me and I’d jump away from them. I wasn’t able to read because the light show covered up all the words. I’ve noticed that since having COVID, it’s getting worse again. I can still read, but the light show is creeping larger and larger. It’s worse when I’m in bright environments. I really hope it doesn’t get as bad as it used to be. It is impossible to concentrate with constant built-in fireworks. Right now, it’s more like the sun reflecting off a rippling lake. I wouldn’t be surprised if COVID is what brought this back. #NeurologicalDisorder #ScintillatingScotoma #MigraineAura #COVID #Disability #Blindness

  4. I've had a couple of visual migraine /migraine aura episodes over the last couple of days - quite minor and short lived compared to what I've had in the past.

    One weird thing is, that I think I'm getting Phantosomia - smelling something that isn't there, in this case a leather-like smell, it's very faint, but it seems to precede the visual symptoms.
    As usual the migraine is associated with stress, and as always there's no headache.

    If this carries on, I think it'll be a call to the doctor - which I can do without - particularly if I get sent back to the Neurologist again.
