I am 22 years old now and I am experiencing it ever since I'm a kid. I always went home when I had a migraine at school. It's really awful! Especially if you have plans and you need to cancel it because of the pain. Aside from that, no one understands me. I never met a person in my whole life who experience it like me. I'm glad that I read the comments here. Now I don't feel alone anymore

Same experience. My aura migraine started when I was in 4th grade after I went swimming. It disappeared until i graduated in college. Causes are (according to my observations): ❗ -too hot (weather) -exposure to light/sunlight -dehydrated -empty stomach (not sure) *How to avoid it* ✅ _drink lots of water_ _cold beverages_ _eat at the right time_ _keep cool during summer days_

I’ve had migraines and auras since about 7th grade, triggered by strong perfumes or smoked things like smoked ham. the aura will get me for about an hour then the migraine comes and sometimes it’s suffocating how strong the pain can be. the chiropractor helped me out so much.

[@waroftruth4666]

I had headaches when I was a kid, they went away and I had no issues until adulthood when I was hit by 240 working on an AC around 5-6 years ago and have been suffering these symptoms ever since. I saw a cardiologist and optometrist and of course a comp doctor who all dismissed the symptoms I had then and still have. Floaters appeared pretty much immediately after and tingling and numbness in hands or feet and sometimes limbs persist still at times . Usually on the same side of where the shock occurred. When visual aura’s occur it’s in the left eye. The optometrist said it was just birth cataracts that cause the Symptoms and the comp doctor blamed aging. The symptoms are becoming worse as time passes and I sometimes feel I no longer think, care or feel the same as prior. Neurologically I come back with positive results just like with cardiopulmonary tests. I’m at a loss of where to turn! Migraines are costly seeking answers and you always get stroke or heart attack treatment going to the ER. Symptoms are similar but no one ever checks the EMR for the history of the patients. It’s all about money and pushing people out the door to open the bed for the next guy. Test after test med after med with no cures and no real answers. The system is broken!

[@Rroff2]

Curious - I never made the connection before but I started having migraines, fortunately infrequent, shortly after getting a 240V AC shock from a faulty lamp as a child.

[@cavgrey8]

For all of you who have migraine with aura demand a cardiac ultra sound with bubble study. Saline vial is agitated creating bubbles & pushed through via an IV in your arm. They follow the bubble path through the heart to determine if blood is flowing in the correct path. My aura & migraine was the result of a PFO (we’re all born with this door between heart chambers - at birth it should shut & lock) being open and shunting blood from right to left (wrong way) through the heart. Check your oxygen saturated rate with a pulse ox too. Migraines with aura eventually may be a precursor to stroke. The Cleveland Clinic specializes in this amplatzer device closure. Recovery is swift because the surgery is performed through femoral arteries in the legs. Hospital stay was 24 hours. Gave me my life back. Fortunate to not have found the defect as a result of a stroke or during an autopsy. I had migraines from the age of 13 yrs old. Hope this saves or helps some of you. FYI many specialists missed this diagnosis. It wasn’t discovered until 61 yrs old.

[@Javggoat]

What’s the best medication for migraines with aura?

[@louisebury7934]

My hemiplegic migraines started 47 years ago when I was 8. The doctors thought I had had a stroke. I have the visual aura, the sensory aura and eventually the hemiplegic. My migraines are accompanied by severe nausea and vomiting and pain. Over the years I've had all the drugs going but the only ones that control it a little are epilepsy ones. I still don't go very far in case of an attack.

[@catmandu6211]

I'm using CBD & RSO from marijuana plants. Not from the HEMP plants which is what u r seeing sold in stores. It's worth it to try honestly. It's not 'able to cause any harm' so do a little poking around & who knows? It could have a miraculous impact? Sorry for your pain.

[@yopierre301]

I thought I hurt myself without knowing when I came back from the gym. I got home and laid down and started watching hot ones with gordan Ramsey on KZbin lmfao and i noticed k couldn't t see his mouth and started seeing weird lines and dots and flashes, I didnt want to take a pain killer bc i didnt eat anything so i forced myself to sleep, hopefully i never get one again

[@verapetukhova7580]

sleep helps to cure migraine faster

[@vishnu3196]

I was writing an exam when it happened, i sleptt through the exam and completed it in 15 mins

[@verapetukhova7580]

I always go through all mentioned phases - it's when I feel to want to die, that's how unbearably bad it gets. Most often no medication helps at all, sometimes L-Tryptophan and Ibuprofen cure it entirely within half an hour, but not always. My long term curing plan is a diet, minimum added sugar, alcohol, processed foods and overeating in general plus psychotherapy. In the recent years of doing all that migraines are much rarer and easier to handle, but still can happen. Tried massages, antidepressants, acupuncture, various vessel treatments - no success for me.

[@grimslade0]

Hey. I'm sorry to hear your struggle, I feel similarly. After seeing you mention L-Tryptophan, I thought I should throw in my experience with the similar supplement 5-htp. Not sure if you've tried it, but I find regular usage (a few times a week or more) prevents migraines almost entirely. I usually don't think think 5-htp is helping, but when I run out the attacks begin again usually within about a week. Obviously your mileage may vary but thought I should share. Also, I personally find paracetamol to be more effective than ibuprofen. Especially when mixed together. And to be honest the most effective pain killers in general are opioids, examples of fairly safe ones are codeine and kratom. Though... A lot of people have convictions against opioid use and that's understandable given their abuse potential. Though if you feel like you want to die as you put it :( it might just be worth the negative side effects anyway... Definitely discuss with a doctor before deciding however. But getting back to my main point, give 5-htp and paracetamol (with ibuprofen if you're inclined) a try if you haven't already :) that's commonly reported as a more effective combination; myself included.

[@nillaxsplash8946]

Can someone email me and start a group discussion or something so I don’t feel so alone

[@s.k.7325]

Jordan Smith > It's okay. The first couple of times you have the aura symptoms, it's scary--trust me. However, you just have to tell yourself it's part of the migraine beginning. I was driving when I had my first one, thought I was just tired. However, my vision in my right eye slowly started to fade. Of course, I panicked--hard. I was pacing back and forth wondering what the hell was happening and what was I simply going to do. All those fears of losing my vision, going blind, and never being able to see again came up in my head. The aura slowly went away after about an hour or so, and I was hit with the headache. Think of them all as warning signs--red flags for headache preparation. If you experience migraines frequently, you may want to discuss with a doctor possible medications or trigger reductions to feel better. But, if you are left with one thing out of this long-ass paragraph, just know that the auras can't harm you--you aren't going to go blind.

[@nillaxsplash8946]

Thanks man I’ve had several, my biggest fear is going blind, my eyes seem to be fine when I got em checked and I tried ruling out tumors or anything, I just wish it was easier to accept i suppose. I tell myself it’ll go away and I just can’t shake that feeling! But thank you for the words man, it does help a lot. Guess it just another part of life to work around

[@Sjieraffe]

You dont have to be afraid of going blind ,because migraine occurs in your brain and not in your eyes ! I always had an aura no headache and after i had strange feelings in my arms and being scared is always part of the deal ,even when you know its the migraine

[@nillaxsplash8946]

That is true, thanks you guys for the emotional support, hopefully we all find triggers or whatever else and move past it !if not at least be hopeful we learn to manage haha!

[@today1901]

What's so bad with this section? It goes away in 20 to 30 minutes. In my case mostly bright lights trigger this, but i once had it at 1 am in the middle of the night. I get terrible anxiety while it lasts and the final 5-4 minutes are the worst. it feels like someone shut out the sky for me and its all too dark.

[@mosienko1983]

This is the closest representation of what my aura looks like that I have seen. There are very clear flashing black and white zig zag lines along the outside in mine however. Starts quite small and slowly increases in size, and is usually over in less than 10 minutes. Thanks so much for this - even my eye doctor didn't seem to understand what I was talking about and it's kind of scary.

[@seansei]

Had one of these for the first time staring at a light bulb. Got no pain after though. Had one again soon after, the pain is so bad and you cant see anywhere. All you could do was lay down 'cause standing up made you puke. Drinking water made me puke, heck even when I haven't got anything in my stomach, my body still wanted to heave when I stood up and walked. One thing that sorta works in alleviating it is when I get the aura, i lay on my right side and block my eyes so it's all darkness. Then I just lay awake eyes closed 'til it disappears. I usually avoid the headache with that but sometimes it doesn't work so I just power through the pain :') Sleeping helps and lotsa water after the headache.

[@Aelanna]

I have visual auras all day long every day. Any time I look at something bright, especially after being in a dimmer area, I get one. Looking out the window, at the TV, or at my computer monitor can trigger one. I rarely have the actual following headache, but having these auras all the time is very annoying. My doctor says they have no treatment, I just have to live with it. When I do get an actual migraine, it's usually accompanied by dizziness and nausea, and I just go to bed and sleep. Usually once I wake I feel better.

[@fxbear]

I’ve had all of these, or similar my whole life but never knew what they were because I don’t have the migraine, just the odd sensations like half my tongue being numb, tingling hands and visual auras. I really like the visual stuff because as an artist I just find them interesting or pretty. Afterward I’m disappointed they stopped. Part of me is shouting “again!”. Kinda like being on an amusement ride.

[@Lagger130]

The truly worst thing about migraine auras is that I am constantly paranoid that any vision disturbance (like a blackspot from looking at a light), my limbs getting a little numb, etc. is another attack happening. My migraines are pretty rare compared to other people from comments (months or sometimes years), but the "wait" for the next one is what makes it the worst, especially if I haven't had one in a while.

[@shrekman3139]

Tbh when I get these it kinda feels like right after someone takes your picture and you see spots but it doesn’t go away and it’s only in one eye. Then I start not being able to understand what I’m reading or writing out so I have to stop and just wait for the pain to come

The scariest type of migrane aura is Alice and Wonderland Syndrome. Which is what I have. The neurologist said it was a migrane aura.

Short but scary.

[@amza4953]

Just in case this mite help, I've had aura migraines on and off for a few years now and recently have discovered that if I exercise/workout when I get it or even after getting it that working out helps me to rid the annoying after effects quicker.. Usually the aura comes on gets higher and bigger lasts for about 15 - 30 mins then the aura goes away and then I have pain between my eyes and a ugly feeling in my stomach for the rest of the day, and usually it ruins my day but now after I said stuff it I'm not gonna stop my day cause if it I'll do a workout and I feel better, not sure why, maybe cause it gets the blood flowing or endorphins or increase mitochondria.. Now in terms of triggers for the aura I'm not quiet sure I've but of recent times I'll write down when it's comes on and what I had done as in, looked at the phone for too long or bright lights like fluorescent lights mite be a trigger or sometimes I've noticed come in when I've had foods like oats/nuts/seeds, not all the time but often when I consume those kinds of foods and maybe from sulphites in those foods..

It could happen twice, three times, four times a day, you never know. Headache is increasing in spite of ASS or Ibuprofen. I cannot see, and I often feel dazed, so I can't go anywhere by car, because I might not be able to drive back home. I sometimes wake up with an aura, too. I tried almost everything the last 40 years, now I only take medication against the pain - as quick as possible when the aura begins. I do relaxation exercises. Sometimes it seems to reduce the number of attack per month - sometimes not. But it's good for me anyway, so I continue.

All the above the nausea it mimics a virus and there's something in your inner ear that could be a virus that causes this I had no idea any of this existed I'm so glad I found this I was beginning to think I really was crazy LOL jury is still out

Cooking on electricity or microwave ovens makes this condition worse.

[@mehitabel1290]

I've had a tiny section of the aura left over from my last attack, two weeks ago. Is this a known thing? Anyone know?

[@editiongraphicdesign]

Mehitabel I had one the other day and my affected eye still feels like it has a very mild version of it too

[@mehitabel1290]

@@editiongraphicdesign Interesting. I still have it, so I guess it's something I just have to live with.

[@dortiz81706]

Mine lasted for a month! I heard it has to do a lot with the spine and neck the way you sleep or posture blood flow is restricted. But it’s best to go see a doctor.

[@tastyvlogsnack9550]

I'm going through this right now. 2.5 weeks and it's almost gone. I hate it. LOL

[@yoboysal3883]

[@Sophie-wk9rb]

[@fangsily]

Went to see the doctor recently about this, I keep getting them. I’m not sure what keeps triggering them though.

[@tanyatrujillo9212]

Mine are triggered by bright lights. Or the sun glaring off my windshield. This is why I wear sunglasses outside during the day, regardless if it's sunny out or not. This happens to why I'm driving, and I can't see a thing, and it's so scary, I feel like I going blind. Lol so now I know to wear sunglasses. Hope that helps you. God bless.

[@nickalejo144]

fangs first time it happened to me the dumb fuck doctors just said it was a regular headache and made me feel like I was wasting their time. They didn’t take the time to research the symptoms I had told them

[@fangsily]

Nick Alejo i thought i was the only one this happened to, thought i was actually going psycho. So when these happen is it like fast black and white lines moving in one eye and then you kinda can’t see straight?

[@fangsily]

Nick Alejo i don’t get a headache when i notice the aura kicking in, it’s like right after it’s done. the motion i was seeing from it makes me sick asf

[@happyfroggy3262]

Nick Alejo THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! I COULDNT BELIEVE WHEN I WENT TO THE DOCTOR THEY ACTED LIKE IT WAS FROM MY EYES STRAINING. I thought I was alone. I feel you man

[@matildangelica]

When i had migraine one time i threw up on the bus..

[@AjayKumar-eo6em]

What is treatment for migraine aura

[@hansehexe5280]

As far as I know: no treatment. Only concerning the headache. I would be happy if I was wrong, I've got aura for 40 years now, no doctor could offer me any treatment.

[@gnostaoticanarchangautalch4225]

I actually have a theory that most migraines are from a action potential being fulfilled in the wrong places and essentially makes a big spark that janks up all of the ions and that they have to go back into place to fully finish the migraine

[@vaishnavii6299]

Ok so i'm suffering from all of them🙂
