gategrrlOh, god, I'm having what nialla42has called a visual migraine this morning. I was at the grocery store picking up some milk when I noticed that my sight was feeling *painful* - not pain, exactly, but distracted and glowing. I thought I'd somehow looked too long into a bright light outside. It happened while I was inside, though. Crap. And I know it's not in my eyes, because it's the same thing in *both* eyes. It there in both. It doesn't hurt but... damn, I wish it go away.
Update: I went into the other room to wake up the boys (the Guy and Little Guy) and after a minute or two I noticed that the snakey glowy thing was gone. Just like that. Weird. Just too weird. I'm hoping it doesn't come back.

Date: 2007-08-04 07:04 pm (UTC)The "snake" was crystally looking, sparkly, but I could see around it (except at first, when I was rubbing my eyes, mistakenly thinking I'd looked at something overly bright).
I do get those floating things in my eyes - sometimes I can see those very clearly (though I haven't *looked* for those in a long while, I know they're there). But that's a different kettle of fish.
Thing is, it was *identical* in both eyes. I closed one eye, and then the other to make sure I wasn't seeing things. It had the same shape, same action going on...it didn't block my vision enough to keep me from driving. It was more of a nuisance, really, and annoying as hell.
What else could something like this be? I'm up for explanations!
