I got plenty of migraines as a child and young adult. The typical pulsing pain in the front of my head above one eye, sometimes both. Later in life they became visual disturbances that subsided into a migraine. Often now they are accompanied by nausea and dizziness. Lately, for the first time I had one in my sleep. I was conscious of it, (perhaps I had woken up) though I continued or fell back to sleep for several more hours. Woke with pretty bad nausea. Collapsed on my way back from getting a bucket, was too dizzy to get up and threw up (in the bucket, fortunately). That was fun.

Anyways, today I found out these headaches have a name. Scintillating scotoma, who knew? (rhetorical)

Does anyone else here get these type of headaches?

I see Wikipedia is taking a page from the xtian preacher playbook (again), and begging for handouts:

"we humbly ask you to defend Wikipedia's independence.....Show the world that access to reliable, neutral information matters to you."

And just like said preachers, Wikipedia swimming in wealth already!

Proving commies and socialists love money every bit as much as capitalists or preachers.
