===============================
 ML> Those are other standard ones. Thinking about them can
 ML> cause them, it seems - right now for me I'm in a pre-aura
 NB> True, on both counts... the latter especially if one is kinda on the
 NB> edge anyway...

I'm coming rather close right now, thinking of past episodes
and almost reliving them. Also two glasses of red wine with
supper. Fluorescent light. The stress of being here (see
yesterday's packet).

 Stress and probably scent (Glade?) got me this past
 NB> Monday night

Funny, how the senses conspire to cause problems.

Now, there's no visual aura, rather an aural aura as it were,
a sound as of a thousand crickets inside my head: I'm pretty
certain it's not pure insanity, but on the few occasions that
I thought I was going nuts - before I figured out the migraines
and the anxieties thing - this same sound really drove me to
distraction.

 NB> Going through a dresser drawer recently, I came upon an OLD bottle of
 NB> ergotamine... I had to stop taking them to stave off the migraines
 NB> when I got pregnant

Ergotamine tartrate - I could use some of that right now.
Or indomethacin (which I had to go off because of the
bleeding issues, but I'd risk it tonight).

 NB> migraines were related... both because my cousin has petit mal and we
 NB> share some of the same triggers (flashing lights, among them), and
 NB> because I had a rather scary hemiplegia as a forerunner to a migraine
 NB> once... thankfully only that once... :)

Was the hemiplegia on the same side as the pain? I'd guess probably.

 ML>> Curious - how does my . (c with a cedilla) show up on your setup?
 NB>> Curiously... I'm seeing the gamma and the c with cedilla just fine in
 NB>> your messages... and saw it as a gamma in UDD's message... Dunno how
 NB>> it will translate in my reply, but it looks fine at this end... :)
 ML> Now it looks like a raised dot. What does it look like to you?
 NB> Now it just looks like a period.

Or a grain of sand. Reminds me about the Google Translate
game, where you subject a phrase to successive translations
into various languages - a computerized version of Telephone.

 ML> For me the worst problem is that a fresh hard-boiled egg makes my
 ML> fingers scream when I peel it - some vibration goes through my
 ML> fingers, up my arms, and all the way to my ears or my brain.
 NB> You are very sensitive to sound and vibration, aren't you...

Another trait found among autistics! Both sound and smell,
the senses at which I excel.

 NB> Interestingly, the only
 NB> time that I was getting the noise was under the conditions we had that
 NB> day, the very wet roads, and driving on them at high speeds.

Maybe it's a driving-too-fast-on-wet-roads alarm.
