I just like it because it's trippy. Granted it's kind of like what bright white looks like to me. I don't see solid color without my brain injection noise into it. I don't visualize a migraine as looking like that. In fact I don't think I can associate an image with a migraine. The closest to a visual I could give is a feeling of almost electrical pain in my optic nerves, especially if there is light. I personally find the nausea/vomiting from a full on migraine to be worse than the pain. Then again I'm a chronic pain patient so I'm used to pain (or coping with it at least), and I always have pain meds in my system. Whereas I don't handle vomiting well. And it seems like every time I have severe nausea/vomiting I either have no zofran or i forget I have it. I usually manage to catch a migraine before that starts and I can take action to keep that from happening. But I have been getting migraines a lot more frequently in the past year (from 2-3/yr to about once a month, including two that totally incapacitated me for a period, one of which I nearly went to the ER over because the nausea was SO bad. I probably should have because I was so weakened from vomiting all damned night. And a shot of zofran or phenergan and IV fluids would have taken care of that nicely.) I'm glad you found my summary useful.
