    Migraine with Aura

    Does anyone here have migraine with Aura?

    I do and have for years but recently i am getting 1 or 2 a week.

    Worrying to say the least, i was doing quite well with my Panic and anxiety but each time i get a migraine with aura ( not always followed by pain) its like i step back 5 spaces.

    They suck they dont? Do you get the Aura too? Its that part that scares me, gets me thinking about strokes ( in the family) and brain tumours and what not.

    I have been down the doctors about 5 times this past month, but they dont seem to take anything i say seriously. ''Oh yeh its just migraine'' Oh is it? How can you tell without even checking me over?

    Have another appointment this afternoon and i am going to get tough with them Or try to, i want to be referred to someone who knows what they are talking about.

    'They' tell no one ever died with a migraine.
    That may be so but migraines scare the he*l out of me.
    When I realise I can only see half of everything and a
    migraine is coming: I panic.
    Why? Because I think the visual disturbance will not pass and
    I will be left with distorted vision forever. I don't see so well at the
    best of times, so to lose what little I have would be tragic.
    Hasn't happened yet but my mind worries: 'There could always be a first time'.

    I get the aura first of all, and can usually stop a migraine in its tracks with two pink Migraleve. I have to sit down, wait for the kalidescope to go, and nausea to disappear. Might take an hour or so. I get them in clusters. Nothing for six months, then three or four in the space of a month. They are a pain, but I always make sure I have Migraleve in my handbag, ready, just in case. They are scary, nasty but please remember they are common, and not sinister.

    I use Voltarol Dispersible. Works for me.

    I get the aura's that effect my ears as well as vision...like...I see spots and my vision changes. I also get bouts of deafness where I cant hear a thing from one ear or everything is just high pitched. Anyone get these?

    Re: Migraine with Aura

    Hey.
    I suffer with these blasted things too! First time ever being this year and so far ive had 8! Sratred 3 monthly, then went to monthly and i also had 2 in one week. My most recent one was two months after the last.
    I also get the weird hearing thing.....it usually comes after the eyes and sounds like everything is too loud and sometime muffled too! I really can't cope with these....they're worse than the skipped heart beats i used to panic over! I still do but i can understand how they work now but noone seems to give me answers for these migraines! Hormones perhaps? along with stress??

    Re: Migraine with Aura

    Hiyer, My daughter (bless her she is only 13 years old) has migraine with Aura and has done since she was 11. I too used to get them into my 20s, full blown classic with loss of vision, vomiting and so on. Nowadays, oddly, I just get the aura and nothing afterwards ?! My mother is on permanent medication for migraine and has been for a couple of years as hers were in clusters of a few a week, then a break and a few the next week. They are really debilitating and make you feel so dreadfully ill !!! They are certainly related to stressful periods and having them in clusters is not unusual, it doesn't mean that you have any underlying condition causing them, but boy I do feel for you as they are dreadful.

    Re: Migraine with Aura

    I've had migraines for about 9 years now (since I was 11 and I am now 20). They seem to go up and down in pain level - sometimes they're really bad, other times they're still bad but it's manageable because I KNOW it can be worse.

    Usually the worst vision issue I get is that I cannot make my eyes focus unless I work really hard at it - it's like they've gone lazy. Last year, though, I met with a group and I couldn't see properly - it was as if I'd gone from brightness outside to a dimmer inside but the sensation wouldn't go away. I was scared to death as that had NEVER happened to me and I didn't make the migraine connection. When we got done meeting, it occurred to me that it could be a migraine and about 10 minutes later a full-on one hit. It was awful.

    Migraines are absolutely terrible. I don't think that anyone can accurately understand the pain and the fear and the overall awfulness unless they've truly had one.
