Painter at Easel (1631), Gerrit Dou

Wednesday, June 19, 2002

The last time I got a spot in my vision was my senior year in high school, almost six years ago. Back then, it was a fairly standard thing because I'd get these migraines about once a month and I'd be prepared to head home, pop a few Midrin, and fall asleep when that crescent-moon spot would appear out of the corner of my eye.

The spot showed up so suddenly, I thought I had inadvertantly glanced into one of the ceiling lights or looked out of the window and caught the reflection of the sun off a passing car. It vibrates in my field of vision like television static and curls around slowly, usually from right to left, bottom to top.

It's been so long since I've had a migraine, I'm out of Midrin and am trying to figure out what to do. Experience tells me I have at least an hour before the pain sets in, maybe more. I feel as though I'm grasping in the dark for an answer and quiet my worry. As the fires have taught me, I'll deal with it when it comes.
