Weird migraine symptoms - tell me yours and make me feel less of a freak!

When I have a migraine on the way, I lose the ability to string a sentence, and all I can reliably say is "Listen" and "fuckfuckfuck"

Which I did to my lovely but understandably nonplussed friend over the phone this morning.

Sometimes I go temporarily blind - I can 'see' but can make no sense of what I see.

None of these things last for long, but it's so weird when it does happen!

zig zag flashy lights,like watchinng hhe world on juddery slightly slow motion. Extreme light sensitivity, i usually end up wrapping something anything a jumper/towel round my head to shut out all light.
Nausea but with hunger.
Definatly hormone induced, when I am on the pill I don't get them.

very strong sense of smell.Numbness and tingly feeling in face and arms, sore jaw and neck like i'm really tense, start stuttering or unable to string a sentence together, feel sick.
mine have got worse after having DD, remember I had a really bad one about 2 weeks after she was born and thought I was having a stroke, v. scary
hope you feel better soon.
