I relate to this. I get "silent" migraines. No pain, no headache, but I go partly blind and slur my speech. It comes on quick and I sometimes pull over if I'm driving. It's all over in about a half hour and then I feel kind of euphoric. I feel pretty lucky that mine don't debilitate me for long.

@pand0ra204 I have no idea honestly. I get the shimmering-edged blind spot that characterizes this kind of migraine, which would confirm it. My doctor did say when I first started having them to be careful who I tell because I could get my driving license taken away if they suspect it was epilepsy. I mean this was many years ago so I'm sure I'm not epileptic at this point.

@BroodierLily296 Yes it is very scary at first. Like many others say, I thought I was dying the first time. Once I knew what to expect, there was no fear. I can just wait the thing out for a while and then get on with my day. I'm thankful I don't get any more serious effects.

Me too I was about 20 my first one. They got really regular for about a year or so, but now years later I hardly ever get them.
