"Hi.. I know what you mean about the scintillating scotoma. I don't get the headache either, just the weird vision of the saw tooth and then it gets bigger and is very colorful. It lasts for anywhere from 7 to 20 minutes. I hate the doggone thing. I use to get them years ago once in awhile, but now for some reason I have them more often. It runs in my family. Are they dangerous I wonder? Thanks for listening. I am an artist and am thinking of drawing one of them."

"Hi...Thank you for asking about my migraine picture, but my picture is not anywhere that I know of on any web site. I drew a picture of a scintillating migrane cat. I would not object if you use it on your web site."

"... I will send you the picture and explain what it means. I am a water color artist and I hope you enjoy looking at my scintillating migraine cat. I am sure that people that have the aura will identify with the picture."

"I am sending you my water color of the scintillating migrane cat. The dark part of the cat is the scotoma or dark spot some people see, the saw teeth in the cats mouth is what is usually seen before the 'c' shaped aura. You can turn this cat in any direction and still see the effects of the scintillating migraine either a right sided or left sided one."
