Hi,
I'm 21 (almost 22), and I've had 5 migraine auras that I can remember now, the first being near the beginning of last year. I had 4 in the span of 2017, and none in 2018 until today :weep:
3 times it's been more tame, just blind spot, followed by zig zags for about 30 mins and then a migraine. 2 times it has been more scary, including today, with numbness following the zig zags, which spreads from my fingers, up my hand and into my face, taking about 15 mins. Today I also experienced a bit of word confusion, was saying some words wrong etc. Everything ended after about an hour and I was left with a bad headache on one side which then went away after I had a sleep for a few hours.
Just wanting to hear some stories from others and see if you have had anything similar, as I am very worried now about the next one coming! I always worry it's a stroke :( How are these different to a stroke or TIA, for some reassurance?
