Toot

Looks like I just had a "Scintillating Migraine" for about an hour... I was busy typing away at a python script, and suddenly I couldn't read the line I was editing. I could see the lines above and below, but not really in focus, so I cleaned my glasses, and it didn't help. Just when I was starting to make some progress in my code, too.

Then I noticed that there was a slightly arced slash of twinkling, animated, multicoloured, interlocking colour bars running horizontally across the centre of my field of vision, visible even with my eyes closed. TBH I panicked for a few moments, before I realised it was something I'd had a couple of times before - last time was about 2 years ago. Suddenly not being able to read is quite scary.

I retired to the sofa for about an hour, and it slowly faded to an indistinct un-focusable blob where the coloured slash had been, and fortunately that's now mostly gone, but my head still feels a bit off. I don't get "normal" migraines, and these only come very occasionally, so I'm not taking anything for them - sure hope they stay infrequent.

Do any other #ActuallyAutistc folks get these?
