    That one was a cracker.

    Fortunately, after an hour or so in a darkened room, it wore off.
    I've suffered with migraine since I was a child. A combination of tiredness, computers, alchohol etc can trigger it now but I can spot it early.

    Did have a new type of migraine about 6 months ago, which to be honest scared the tulip out of me. Got in the car and was driving, all of a sudden I lost forward version. I could see out of the corners of my eyes but in the middle was a constant swirl the sort you can apply to pictures to blank out faces. I then couldn't judge distance and almost hit the car in front.

    I drove another minute and then decided I couldn't actually see, so pulled over and walked the rest of the way home.

    I had no headache whatsoever. It lasted for six hours and I thought I was going blind. Went and saw the doctor and as I got there is subsided.

    Turns out you can have en eye migraine(silent migraine). That one I really dont recommend!!!

There are headaches and there are day colds that are no where near a migrane/flu.

    Makes me laugh when someonehas a day off with migrane and then sends some mails midday. With a proper migrane a lit laptop screen is just sheer hell.

    Give her some credit that her hubby actually called in though. I couldn't see the bloody keybad to dial when I had mine.
    I've only ever had one Migraine attack and I thought I was dying.

    It was quite a strange sensation, I couldn't see what I was looking at, just my peripheral vision.

    It turns out that because my (CRT)monitor was set at 75hz and the fllourescent lights were at 50hz that a "beat" was being detected by my brain - which it did not like at all, no sirree Bob.

    Your lack of imagination doesn't bode well for your new lady friend.

    You sound too worried about things going wrong, relax what the worst that could happen.

    It's not brain surgery, no one is going to die. Most of the time.

    HTH

    If you are her manager then have a word with HR - it should never be personal.
    WHS.
