What is it like to have a migraine aura?

What is it like to have a migraine aura?

The flashes come on suddenly and you get cold chills down your spine. You know this is going to be for at least another 20 minutes and you start getting your things ready. You take a couple of painkillers and work your way around your aura. You can't see what you are typing and when you try to focus your sight on word A, you can't read your next word on your right. Your flashes get bigger and they form zig zag lines and moves around with your vision before finally expanding so wide, they disappear from your sight.

When the aura disappears, you know your migraine is coming in 10 minutes and you're ready to head off to bed.

Pardon me for any wrong spelling, I hve just described my current 20 minutes without any spellcheck. Good night folks.
