Hey, I totally know what you mean. My migraines all start like that, with the blurry vision and auras. I may not really be dying, but dang, sometimes I feel like I want to…the pain is killer! Take care. Hope you’re feeling better.
optical migraines! i’ve had migraines since i was 11 and only when i started taking birth controll did they change to optical. it’s the extra hormone in them. i went off right away and it helped a ton but i still get them too often. blurry vision and sometimes the numbness (totally wierd) and then the feeling of a brick to the face about 15-20 min. later. it SUCKS! if you’re on birth controll i would maybe consider stopping. it would help.
I used to get visual auras before mine. Now I get a ringing in my ears …sometimes I never even get the actual headache. It’s what they call an atypical migraine. Weird things, those migraines.
This girl I grew up with had like a full-on stroke(like symptoms) Half her body paralzed- stuck on the couch.. couldn’t move, rushed to the ER and after a couple of days of testing they told her it was a migraine. Until then I had never heard of such a thing. So weird…and scary
i’m glad you aren’t dead too:):)
I am glad you are not dead too!
I’v enever heard of the numb hand thing. If you get them a lot there’s medication you can take at the first signs….
I get that as well. I can’t even hold anything in my hands. It freaks me out. My latest neurologlist has had me take 1 baby aspirin a day to help combat the onset of migraines. Those are stroke symptoms. Mine were hormaone related, I had a hysterectomy almost 3 years ago. Although I get a migraine every now and then it’s not s bad as before, 4-5 a month!
i’m glad you are feeling better shannon! that is scary. migraines are NOT fun.
Shannon….I stalk your blog. 
:)
I am an ophthalmic technician….and you are right, everything there sounds like an optical migraine.
EXCEPT.
That numbness.
And that flash of light sounds a bit different.
You should probably go to an ophthalmologist just to be sure.
Just wanted to tell you that.
Okay, that would beyond freak me out! Glad you’re still living!

such cool pics Shannon. YOu are SO good at this. Can’t wait to see more shares
You are awesome! I can’t even imagine having my own business. Go Shannon!
You are back! YEAH!
Love the pics, you are very good at what you do. Even if you don’t feel like you “get it,” we (as your viewers) are pretty sure you do! How do you get your business decal on your pictures? And where do you get your great ideas for the pics?
And about the crocs… I totally thought they were wimpy, at first, then got some for my baby (for mere convienence) then got some for my other two kids (out of pure laziness) and then tried on my sister’s (out of simple curiosity) and now I am hooked! Wimpy or not they really are comfortable!
Good to have you back! Have a great Memorial Day weekend!
You’re amazing! I was so bummed I missed your Enrichment digital photo night thing. Want to enlighten me? Puh-leease!
Awesome photos!!

What color did you get? That’s funny that you mentioned gardening because I saw them at Osh and I’m still just a little confused. Sure they’re great for washing out but doesn’t dirt get inside them? Gross…sweaty dirty feet in plastic shoes…I don’t get it. Have you tried putting dirt in them? Can someone tell me before I go buy the cute floral ones at Osh?
Shame on you! Crocs?
I suppose it doesn’t matter if you wear them, as long as you can stomach the scuzzy looks and rude comments dished out at the supermarket.
Hold your head high Shannon.
Would you believe that Crocs were actually boating shoes intended for males to wear before the general (probably a bunch of nurses) population discovered them?
I think they’re ugly as sin, but sometimes fashion must take a backseat to comfort. And sometimes it must be the other way around.
Yeah, I don’t really like crocs, I just can’t picture plastic on feet being comfy. BUT, if they are comfy, who can argue with that, right?
hmmm…they do have some cute mary jane style crocs out now. i’ve been thinking about getting some.
hee hee! You got sucked in. Welcome to the dark side 
So funny! I had a similar blog post this week:
http://deannag.typepad.com/my_weblog/2007/05/ive_joined_the_.html
I felt the same way. I bought a pair. Then I bought my son a pair. Then my b/f (The manly offroads). Then, my daughter got the mary janes with daisy jibbitz. Oh, and don’t forget the crocsbutter, to jazz them up when they get a little dull looking. My sister’s teasing is relentless…
and why doesn’t the plastic stink?
I have two pair.
Have you seen the mary Janes?
I have them on right now.
No thanks to the crocs, maybe for the boys…maybe not. I thought they were for nurses at first. Shows how little I know.
Awesome. Thanks for secretly hating my shoes that I wore everyday at your house for a week. Now I feel like such a fashion retard….
I guess I am really backwards because I thought they were cute from the first time I saw them, but will probably never own them myself. No reason. I guess I am just more of a flip flop girl.
Apparently the guy who owns Crocs lives around here…and he placed an order recently through the Ford dealership for Mustangs in 5 different colors…(he likes his cars in as many colors as his shoes)…and I would say he’s a little well-off from his shoe-making venture…
lol… I think they look just like smurf shoes! I too am not a fan. Just promise you won’t wear them to church or dinner out!
Dave. in a pair of crocs. waiting for the dog. to poop.
What a visual! I’m going to have to quit my job. I don’t think I’ll be able to keep a straight face around him anymore
Just bought myself a pair over the weekend. Black Mary Janes, to be exact. Comfort trumps fashion at my age (nearly 40), and I’m damn thankful for that.
And now I think I need a pair in red.
I am so glad you finally took the plunge. I love my crocs. They are coming out with some really cute styles and are still the most comfortable shoe. Kevin and my boys all have a pair because they don’t make your feet stink and you can throw them in the washer anytime you want.
i love crocs.
love, love them.
i don’t care what anyone thinks.
they are heavenly pillows of goodness.
so there, i’m a proud croc wearing momma.
and so help me they better never stop making them.
cause if hear even the slightest rumor, i’m going to go out and stock up like noah collecting animals for the ark.
(or elaine bennis collecting sponges )
welcome to the club!
Ha ha – I have that same mentality about crocs too but I secretly want some!
you’re not alone, i want some too…secretly:)

Can I just say that you are hilarious! I stole a mini address book when I was really little(from Ayr-Way, kind of a pre-target). When I got older, I couldn’t look at it anymore, so I gave it to a friend of mine as a gift-NICE. When I got even older and learned about surveillance(sp?) cameras, I would lay in bed at night and hear sirens and think they had finally gotten to my tape and they were coming to get me! I really had a guilty conscience! We learned our lessons, right? Right. Kimberly

So… why don’t you just send 50 bucks to some association for the blind or something, and be rid of the guilt?
Perhaps they want scrapbooking supplies?
Great, now I’m feeling all guilty again. But, I think I’ve done worse things (remember my valentines day card fiasco??) so I can still eat Hot Tamales with joy. BUT to even further your guilt, you forgot one minor detail. In order to reduce the risk of ACCIDENTALY turning past two clicks and losing our quarter, we learned we could use the fake quarters from Emily’s board game. Then, there was never a chance that we could lose even a single quarter in the process. Oh, so bad……
Hahahahahah. I think I just peed a little. Sorry TMI. You should make a list like Earl. I would but my list would be too long.
Hahahahahah. I think I just peed a little. Sorry TMI. That’s your biggest sin? You should make a list like Earl. I would but my list would be too long. Seriously, I feel so EVIL after reading that blog.
Many, many years ago….
My ‘ex’ was a hearing impaired person (profoundly bilateral deafness as a result of his mother having rubella during pregnancy). I had the mannerisms and facial expressions mastered to perfection…So good that I faked being deaf to get front row seats in Vegas at what I thought was an authentic ‘Moulin Rouge’ dance performance…I thought I’d hit pay dirt with awesome seats…until I realized that this was VEGAS style…they were freakin’ topless with nothing but g-strings and tacky feathers. SO gross.
Paybacks are a bitch!
