Migraine - Note to self

I just wanted to note here that I am currently experiencing a migraine. For those of you who do not know me well enough, I shall elucidate a bit. But my primary purpose is simply to log the date, time and surrounding circumstances of this occurence, should I want/need to be able to recall this information later. I cannot think of anything specific which may have precipitated it; it happened quite suddenly. I awoke from my three-hour core a little before 9, Mom had left a message on my phone, and when I went outside to return her call, it apparently struck then, because when I came back in, it was in full swing. A bit different from the slow creeping I've noted in the past. It is actually now dissipating, even as I type. When I came back in, I actually had to wait a minute or so to confirm that this was, in fact, migraine, rather than simple blindness caused by my irises closing down in the bright sunlight outside. General life conditions leading up to the time of affliction: experienced initial pre-menstrual cramping yesterday, have been consuming unfortunately high levels of caffeine for the past 3 weeks, had a mildly stressful event with a friend around 3:15 am, woke up from my 3-hour core and stretched quite a bit, but did not do formal yoga poses , "skipped" a workout yesterday, in the attempt to bring myself down to a Sunday-Tuesday-Thursday schedule, instead of the harder-to-plan-for every-other-day schedule. Last thing I ate before the attack was a really crappy Banquet meal of chicken strips, which was around 1:15 am (note to self: never again, no matter how many Jeff brings home by mistake!).

For everyone who may be concerned/sympathetic: Thank you, but do not fret. My mother and I experience a type of migraine that involves no pain. It's almost as if we get the preliminary symptoms, and nothing else, of what folks typically consider a migraine. Essentially, a buzzing, fuzzy, multi-colored light field moves across our vision, and eventually clears back off. It would be unsafe to drive when this is occurring, and it makes it extremely difficult to read or do anything else visual (such as computer use, ironically :), but in the end it is little more than a temporary nuisance.
