#scotoma — Public Fediverse posts

My auras took the form of disturbances in the visual field and a general sensation of #weirdness. The most notable visual disturbances were scotomata. A #scotoma is a sort of glowing, shimmering, flashing thread, always just outside one's direct focus.

(They're sort of cool-looking, in fact, but can make reading difficult.)

This seems to be by far the most common form of aura, though some people may hear or smell things that aren't there, etc.

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.
