Symptoms of Migraine? What's happening to me?

[ShootingStar]

Ahh yes.. this is my migraine. Its called an Aura Migraine. Ive been getting them since i was young. They start like you said with a spot in my vision, which grows, like dancing/flashing white lights. As soon as i notice it, i have to immediately take some pain killers. Nurophen plus is the only over the counter drug that helps mine. I then develop a headache, my speech becomes jumbled (what im thinking and trying to say, doesnt come out properly), words i read dont make sense and i cant understand their meaning, i cant think of answers to easy questions, headache increases down my neck, sometimes nausia, then usually towards the end i usually get numb on one side of my body. Ive tried many things over the years with my doctors to find the cause, but they come so unexpectedly and inconsistant.. one stage they were once a month the week before my period, then that stopped and id get 3-4 within days of each other once every 6 months. Thats kinda where im at atm. But the only thing ive found is they are hereditary. Both my mum and dad suffer the same. I actually had one the night before last.

Take some pain killers and go lay down in a dark room if you can. Hope yours goes away soon. Theyre not fun
