The migraine report continues.

Let me set the mood: this morning at around the time I was going to eat breakfast, I had a solid gold spot in my vision that looked more like a retinal migraine except is was perceived in both my eyes making it a brain spasm. It dissipated.

A couple of hours later, back at the dining room table as I was opening a package, BOOM, without warning, a standard issue of ocular migraine. It was quick to reach my perception and by the time I got to my Nerivio device I was about 7 minutes in. I had to reboot my phone in order to synchronize the app and get the treatment going.

Remember that a typical ocular migraine will last 30 minutes. The treatment lasts 45 minutes. So, treatment began at about 12:32 PM and the ocular ceased at about 12:52. There are times that a migraine might stop in that 20 minute window on its own so I can’t really say the Nerivio helped. And three-quarters of the way into the treatment, the device, though it kept pulsing on my arm, disconnected from the app. Reconnected. Disconnected. How about a little distraction along with your treatment? I was reading during the treatment and was having difficulty in making sense of words: Typical stroke-like symptom caused by migraine. And then, soon after the treatment the whole thing began again: another full-fledged ocular migraine aura, something I hadn’t experienced for a long time, struck again. I did not do another treatment, figuring that if it didn’t work the first time, I’m not going to do another 45 minutes. I found that it was difficult for me to have a conversation. It was somewhat difficult for me to write this. Migraine #2 is fading into my right periphery.

It is my belief that the brain goes into spasm in specific areas when it needs to discharge a build up, of something. Electric impulses?
