Also, I think I have described my headaches as my hair hurting, too. Ugh, that kind sucks. “Glowing pink apples” sounds like a pretty excellent migraine!

The most interesting ones I remember are the "glowing pink apples" migraine, the "but I'm not wearing a headband" migraine. The day my mom realized that I was having migraines when I used to tell her "my hair hurts", that was a weird day. Migraines are fun, aren’t they?

Also, you so totally are getting ripped off on the sparkly auras. Maybe you can contact the Powers That Be and get an upgrade there! (Also, laughing out loud about your rods and cones...)

I managed them pretty well for a long time, but when I went off "the pill," they went from being a weekly event to about a quarterly event. I've never been able to tie it to any food or other activity. I've had visual auras as well, usually preceding a silent migraine, but mine weren't sparkly. I feel kind of ripped off on that one. I do feel like making occasional declarations regarding the state of my rods and cones, though. (Rods + Cones = Hermaphrodite?)
