It was my eye doctor that told me they were textbook migraines after I 
started getting them in middle school...they start with parts of my 
vision getting all weird flickery and turning into large blind spots, 
which subsides after a while, followed by a severe headache in the eye 
regions combined with nausea and extreme sensitivity to sound and light. 
  Actually, lately I've just been getting the first stage...the rest has 
been mild if it happens at all.
