With this bout of acute migraines, which unfortunately I have been able to do little about, I have been getting some intense aura symtpoms... which fluctuate during the day.  There has been some muscle twitches, trembling, tinging and nausea, but I would say the worst of it this time around is visual.  For me the visual snow, double vision and blurriness are common place.  The more prnounced visual lights are not as frequent.  These last three days though have been intense.  It started with some serious after image and trailers goin on, went on to some distortions and fuzziness.  Then half my vision was consumed with warping, flowing light.  It went away for a few hours, then all the aura symtpoms came back, making me feel very ill and dizzy... So I went to bed, even though lying down, just made me more aware of the pain.  And then came the most blinding aura... a sort of yellow pulsing light that consumed my entire vision.  And it was there with my eyes closed as well, which rather made it hard to sleep.
