"My visual aura: This is the best I can do to illustrate what was in my visual field for about twenty minutes today."

"I never had anything like this happen until today. I was walking to Borders on my lunch hour and thought I noticed water on my sunglasses. There was a blurry, prismatic area right below the center of my vision. I took off the shades and noticed that there was still a rounded blurry area in my vision and I thought 'Damn! an eye floater'. I closed one eye and then the other to see which eye had the floater and noticed that the 'floater' was present no matter which eye I was looking through. Though the shape was a little to the left and south of my center of vision it was disorienting as the blurriness at center was ringed with prismatic ever-shifting rainbow stripes. There were more colors and more activity at the bottom part of the circle (which was really kind of amorphous - not a complete circle). I realized that I was having trouble seeing where I was was going and I was really frightened that I was having a brain aneurism or a stroke. I have added a link to the best attempt I could make at animating this phenomenon. The aura lasted about 15 minutes and then disappeared. I haven't experienced any headache pain but I did notice tingling in one arm right after the incident. I'm 44 and for the last week have been troubled by what seem like pregnancy sympoms although two tests have proved negative."
