will check that article out. I have tried and tried, to no avail, to find the trigger for my migraines.

I do get the exact same visual aura, with the very same zig zag lined spot. It almost looks as the the spot or blob is lined with neon. It’s that bright, even with closed eyes.

That normally takes 1/2 hour to subside. I certainly can’t work on the computer when it happens, and during it, I can’t see very well and numbers come out in doubles. the ocular incident normally, but not always, leads to a headache in my case. The headaches are not as horrible as they used to be. I’ve found the whole ocular migraine problem to be something I just have to deal with, and I am not as seriously bothered by them, as I used to be. I am male, and this all started in my early 50s.. 63 now.

Here's a link to the article: Perspective on the Migraine Mind....

Not so much a clinical article but more on descriptions of the phenomenon - most striking to me was the reproduction of someone's impression of how the experience appears in the visual field which pretty well captures mine exactly - the drawing was done in 1902 - this is not something new we're dealing with.....
