Eye Aura
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

Just woke up and found this team. So hello! I'm interested in talking with others who might have a similar aura that I have. It's what I call "The Lava Light Effect". About 50% of the time when a migraine is coming on, my vision goes to nearly black with purple and green glowing lights that bubble back and forth like a 70's era Lava Lamp. Anybody else have this happen?

That's so weird!! Y'all get colors?!!! All I get is super blinding bright yellow outlined in black. Ok, ok, so my cool aura is AIWS. Y'all heard of that? So mine was mild most of my life only making things little around me, but two years ago it changed and now I see stuff just like Alice in Wonderland. My legs shoot out about 6 feet or my fingers grow to a foot long. The bed will grow up 6 feet high and one time the backyard became a bowl I had to try and climb out of. So bizarre! I just sit back and enjoy the show... until the migraine hits that is.

My eye aura is a couple of things. One looks like a pin wheel as it moves across my visual field, and the other is like the bottom of Charlie Brown's zigzag shirt. Such an electrifying experience!
