"Don't you just want to poke that eye? Goodness knows I do. But then I have this luck where everything I poke ends up trying to eat me. A pencil on sketch paper doodle done while trying not to puke from a migraine."

"Yes, you may repost and utilize my image for this migraine study... As for a little information, migraines run in my family, so I've lived with them all my life. The first migraine I can actually remember was when I was around 9 years of age. The first time we knew I was a migraine sufferer was when I was 14 after seeing specialists. Since then I've learned to live with them. Frilly had been created after suffereing from a migraine that had been on going for several days. With my migraines, this includes visual auras and sensory sensitivity, as well as pain. I do think the true irony of this response to you is that I am experiencing the first signs of a visual aura right now (specifically tunnel vision and exaggerated depth perception). However, I do hope that my response has been of help to you."
