powernoodle: Yeah it is!!! only when I get that, it's usualy just part of m vision, like a random shape (say for insance in the shape of a C) and within that "C" shape everything is warped/shimmering like that only a lot smaller faster ripples. But before that happens you see a black spot like you stared into the sun. After the wavy stuff goes (~20mins) then the migrane sets in. Ouch. The vision crap scared the **** out of me the first time it happened I had no idea what was goign on or why.
Thank god I haven't had a migrane since I've been taking a magnesium pill once a day!!!! I endure a lot of un-called for stress right now every day and that takes a toll on ones health.
That's almost exactly what I see when I get a migrane. Fortunately all I get is the visual disturbance for about 20 minutes, and little if any headache.
I get the same "C" shape that grows until it fades off in my peripheral vision. Probably tells me something interesting about how the visual cortex is laid out in the brain, but I just want it to go away.
I describe it to people as looking like the "Predator" when he's got his refactive camoflauge turned on, stuff is the color of what's behind it, but it's all chopped up into little moving segments.
First one I had as a kid freaked me out too. I thought I had a brain tumor or something, LOL...
