Photophobia

Writing this in the middle of a silent migraine
        - look it up -
my first one since I was in a field outside Milton Keynes
absolutely no reason for it to happen
but experience told me it would pass
I continued walking, across stiles avoiding cows
flashing lights zigzag lines blind spots check check yes
then 30 minutes later it faded, forgotten until just

Now when something caught my eye and sent the spinning
lights across the fov which stands for field of vision

One has to worry about the underlying cause
of this neurological phenomenon
one also worries about the spelling which can be
tidied up later

Close your eyes, doesn't work
lie in a cool dark room, doesn't work
(dots, sparks, zigzags)

Be patient and it will pass and you will
at least have this timestamped reminder
to read to the doc if another visit is needed

I had a brainscan once but nothing
showed up which is almost
a joke but I only feel funny strange
not haha right now

Migraine aura without headache can be triggered by
stress, hormonal changes, certain foods and drinks

Years ago, I had two at work
needed the medical room, a little pod
like a panic room. What do you mean
your office doesn't have one?

Then cicada years later a bright
light strikes the back of the
eye in a certain unknown state and it's
time for the ding dong farm, and

I thought it would have stopped by now
