starts as a small spot right in the "centre of vision". then it grows until I can't see anything at all.
Then vision comes back and is replaced by a headache so bad, even the tiniest movement hurts like a knife cut.
Then I sleep between 4 and 12 hours. The day after I'm something like hung over and the day after that it's like nothing happened.
Luckily, I don't get it often any more :-) But it's hard to explain to other people when it happens.
the good thing about the aura is I get a warning what's about to come, usually it means I can get home before it breaks out.
I can only remember once when the headache broke out before I got home and I started sobbing like a baby on the bus. An old lady worriedly asked me if I needed help and I don't really remember how I got home.
I assume we're talking about scintillating scotoma here - you have about a minute to find a safe place to stop until the "blind" zone grows enough. But yeah, this precludes the bearer from piloting mechanisms that can't come to a stop within a minute.
