Migraine Chronicles #8

It’s November 2023. I am traveling abroad. My flight is at 7:00 am. I leave the house around 5:00 am. We land safely at 9:00 am. I take a taxi cab to my hotel and quickly rush out for my meeting at 11 am.

It’s 12:15, and I am having a meeting with a client. I can’t see his face. I am losing vision in my left eye. My migraine aura has started. I understand the cause of my migraine. I haven’t eaten my breakfast.

it’s in my bag. I’ve only had plantain chips from 5 am till 12:15 pm.

I excuse myself. I quickly grab a taxi to my hotel. I eat my bread and egg sandwich. My vision clears up. I am waiting for the headache and a feeling of nausea. I get none. I don’t take a nap either. But the expected headaches and vomiting that follow every migraine I have had never appear.

This is one strange migraine episode. It is the first time I have had migraine aura without headache and vomiting.
