complacent Apparently, within the last two years, I've had three or four migraines. This is news to me. See, I never thought I got migraines -- which I'd been led to believe were mainly intense headaches with tunnel-vision -- until I stumbled upon an exact description of a puzzling phenomenon which had recently started afflicting me. I get the fun visual disturbances without any of the pain or misery of the rest of the migraine! Maybe I can somehow channel this new power creatively; or maybe not, as it seems to be pretty common, really.
At least it's got a fun name. Scintillating scotoma. Say it with me, now.

The name sounds dirty somehow...
I've read about the migraine art before.. it's similar to the art painted by Australian aborigines during their dream trances. You outta try and sketch something out.Anonymous

Migraine Art
Dear artist, I would like to ask you whether you would like to contribute a drawing of your visual migraine auras to the Migraine Art website which, as I saw with pleasure, you had visited. Please give me a short feedback, Dr K. Podoll, kpodoll@ukaachen.deAnonymous

Good for you!
Good thing you don't suffer the migraine pain. I get the scintillating scotoma for half an hour, which is the warning sign for me that i'm screwed if I don't take Dicoflenac in the next few minutes or so.The pain's horrible. Cool that you don't get the migraine.
