The first time I got scared about my migraines and decided to do something was after my first silent migraine. Before this I had just had them about twice a year lasting roughly 3 days.
My silent migraine started with pins and needles in my tongue, speading slowly to the rest of my jaw and then finger tips. Then I lost sight in the parts of my vision where I was focused, it became grey and bright around the edges. I still had peripheral vision. The last symtpom was what I could only describe as temporary dyslexia. I was reading sentences aloud and skipping whole words or moving them from the start to the end. It sounded like gibberish but in my head it somewhow made sense.
I started to panic until some frantic googling brought up these types of migraines. Which is when I instantly recognised all my symptoms as familiar but without the headache and light sensitivity seemed very alien and very scary.
