See skin green...

Posted by beanblossom1

Hi everyone..I have a very strange side effect due to migraines. The 1st thing that happens is my jaw starts to go numb..2nd I begin to feel like my head has been put in a bucket of ice water(you know its like a brain freeze from drinking something very cold)..I get sick..start feeling like I am in a different world(out of place in my surroundings)...then say I look at someones face/the rest of their skin will be a green color.. I never can look at it straight on..and its always just the skin..has anyone else ever done this??? Anyone ever had Aura Migraines without pain??Thanks for any responses.....

Years ago I stopped having the pain related with migraines.  Then one day it looked like I was looking thru boiling water, other times I would see a black spot in the center of peoples faces and as the spot got bigger it would start to clear in the center, or it looked like the lights were flashing, or I'd see zigzags like the ones you see if you close your eyes and press on them.  There is rarely any pain involved and usually last only 20-30 minutes.  However, I do end up with an uncomfortable feeling in my eyes for several hours afterwards.  Sometimes I sense strange odors but no colours other than the ones with the zigzags.  The first time this happened I thought I was having a stroke.  I have never noticed green skin, although I never really looked for anything like that.  I will look the next time I have one.  Has anybody ever had these types of visual disturbances?
