Note from the artist: "This is my impression of the usual disturbance which comes at the onset of a migraine attack. I see first the brilliant "kidney shaped" lights - then flashing white "blobs". On the affected side there is a numbness in the top of the head. My head feels too heavy to hold up. The white near the neck shows approaching numbness in the throat, twice resulting in [impaired] speech."
