How hallucinatory art led to a better understanding of migraine neurobiology

Thanks so much for posting this Maggie! I’ve gotten these since I was about 7 - 8 years old. They freaked me out for a while. Mom took me to the eye doctor, he didn’t find any problem. I can go years without having one. Then get a few per month for a while. They don’t bother me much since I figured out what they were about 20 years ago. I had one at work a couple weeks ago and tried to explain it to people. (For some reason, I always thought they were called “opthalmic” migraines.
Anyhoo, one of the things that still interests me about them is that the aura sometimes moves from right to left, and some times the other way. Nice to finally be able to hear from others who experience the same thing. :slight_smile:
