A while back I felt the onset of a migraine. I had a scheduled visit from IT to show me something whizzy on my PC and was desperately trying to hang on - partly because I really needed it, partly because I had plenty of friends in IT and knew how furious they were when people booked sessions and then simply cancelled.

It just got to the point where I knew it was a taxi home RIGHT THERE AND THEN or it was curtains for me. I tried to explain to my line manager how my vision was going, and confused the word mirror for window. I also tried to say half of my vision was fading and instead said half of my head had disappeared. The email I sent to IT I was able to read back word for word from my Sent folder the next day. I'd be lying if I said I remembered it, but it was essentially gibberish. I could work out what I was trying to say, but there were random inserted words and odd subtitutions.

It was all pretty scary, but I've never had a migraine hit me in that particular way since. The one that gave me a numb arm didn't come back either. or the one that made white explosions in the corner of the room. My mind likes to mess with me.

I agree UT - if she's okay it's pretty funny.
Good catch Flint, BTW doesn't everyone on House collapse and shoot blood out of their nose? Even when it's a groin strain?
