Had a migraine with aura the other day.... I had like vision splicing as well as a weird flashing pattern on the edge of a blurry spot. Couldn't make out part of the face of the person I was looking at but was pretty much coherent besides forgetting a word when talking to them. It came on slowly and left fairly rapidly, I thought I was having a stroke or flashback. The tingling aura happened exactly as she described, started in fingertips, moved up arm and onto left side of face. This was following a period of anger/stress that was extremely intense. I was relaxing when this happened. If you look into it, relaxation following a stressful situation is one of the main catalysts for this condition. So be mindful and try to stay relaxed, it was definitely very strange and kind of scary. Also remember to eat food after an intense workout because I feel like not being satiated was another reason this happened.

You obviously have a great deal of study and knowledge invested in these, so get a public speaking coach to critique your delivery and make this an excellent work. Every phrase ends with a rise in frequency of about a 6th tonal interval. Neurotics like me can't unhear it. You're good. You can be even better. Thanks for trying to help people.

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..

my son (16) has aura migraine since winter 2018. It started after jumping on an indoor trampoline for about 30 minutes. „mama i have a blind spot“ were his first complains. Extreme nausea, headache and vomiting followed. Never heard about aura migraine and thought he has an „eye stroke“ 😱 afterwards he only ever had aura migraines from september-december. 4-7 times in total per year. We found that really weird. We couldn’t put a finger on the causes. But it seems that it more often happens after workouts. Involving jumping (basketball, rope jumping) but also.... as atm after weight lifting workout. (1st time he ever had it in the beginning of a he already felt kinda weird during the workout. Weak, sickly, weird. He hate lentil soup after the workout and shortly after his aura (blind spot) began. It was different than usually he said. After 10-15 minutes the blind spot turned into something with colors. He took ibuprofen 600 as a supp. because we thought with all the soup in his tummy it will take ages to get absorbed or even worse: when he has to vomit, it all will be out of the system anyways. Now he s lying down with really bad headache. 😔 We ve tried different medications. Paracetamol, Aspirine, Novaminsulfon, .... a mix of some but Ibuprofen 600mg seems to work best. Best is to take it as soon as aura (blind spot in his case) starts. I guess today we ve waited a bit too long or the absorption down there isn’t as fast.

Botox. I get Botox injections and it has literally made my migraines with aura go away completely. I get it every few months and headaches stay away. My migraine were visual and speech followed by a headache for 3-4 days.

I come across to your video and I diagnose with migraine with aura last November 2017 but I suffer for headaches for a very long time that I just ignored because doctors cannot gavecme a direct diagnosis, I lost my vision for 1 month due to migraine and I also experienced with paralysis, but till now my neurologist just gave me 1 medicine to take ahead before the migraine hit me, but I constantly feel the blurry vision, and I don't know i I need to consider it to go back to my neurologist because I bother me most o the time

[cf-ryzo]

Do you think the aspirin or magnesium would be helpful right at the time or as prevention?

[stellarose]

I suffer so so bad from these... My speech is affected as well.. also the numbness.. I get the full package.. I found out I have PFO ( hole in my heart) which can be the cause of it.

Mine were triggered by birth control with increased estrogen
They were very intense. Loss of speach, half of body numb (including even half of my tounge), colidascope vision, and intense vomiting
I fixed it by getting an IUD

I watched for 20 minutes. i realize you speak slowly due to the nature of migraines,

This really helped me during my aura migraine. I have narrowed mine down quite a bit but I get very anxious during the aura phase. I was getting 10-15 a year and now I'm down to 1-2 per year.

Maybe wait till people are joined before staring to record. You seemed distracted by people joining, which made me turn this off.
