There’s been a lot of speculation in the media about my health. I’d just like to take this opportunity to reassure you that rumours of my death are unfounded.
However, I have had a brush with weirdness.
So last Friday I was minding my business and pottering around the internet doing “stuff” as you do, when my vision was suddenly filled with spiralling patterns and zig zags and flashes. Minutes later I was struck with blinding pain and retired to a bedroom to try and clear my head where eventually I fell asleep. When I awoke all was well again so I put it down to some kind of borderline migraine and carried on with my legitimate activities.
Since then, 3 or 4 times the flashing has returned for periods of 10 or 15 minutes each. It starts as a small circle of sparkling patterns in the centre of my vision which then spreads outwards till it more of less fills my vision. And then as suddenly and as mysteriously as it arrived, it leaves.
Anyway, if you were – hypothetically speaking – to be looking at a picture of Megan Fox during your attack, this is a not-really-all-that-accurate-but-you-get-the-idea kind of thing you’d see.
Megan Fox Nude. Except for knickers. As seen by someone with migraine aura.
So I’ve been to the docs now and the upshot is I have a “migraine aura”. Somehow related to proper migraines it is in my case unaccompanied by much in the way of pain. Apparently, 15% of migraines take this form, attacks cluster for a short spell, and when this current spell passes I might find it recurs in a few months or simply vanishes never to return.
Now, I’m no student of medicine, but that sounds to me very much like “we’re making this up”.
Anyway, fears of a brain tumour are now scotched and if you’ll excuse me I’m going to find another picture of Megan Fox.

I can’t believe you’re claiming to have a girl’s disease. What next? A visit to the aromatherepist?
Paul, this is *exactly* how Derrick Acorah’s career started out. First he started seeing “auras” and then he got possessed – I’d watch out if I were you.
Yes, migraine is one of the common health issues. There are plenty of reasons why it occurs. Not sure if you know it, but it might be the symptom of poisoning by toxins resulted by intake of chemicals. It might happen at workplaces that are not people-friendly. lol Chemicals can be in the cleaning product that you pick unknowingly, or in a pharmaceutical brand. If one has recurring migraines, I also suggest to do a cancer test. In some cases there is a connection between the cause for both. So, if the cause is found towards being an external factor, a person that suffers from the condition can file a law suit against a wrong doing corporation and force them to revise policies accordingly to which they operate the business. There are many cases when person who files the claim receives millions of dollars as compensation. Obviously, it not only covers a deserved quality of treatment, but secures comfortable life for the wholefamily.
