Yeah, the now classify "aura" as whatever clue you get that a migraine is coming on. I've never had visual auras, but I do get what I call a ghost pain that's a quick flash of light pain that will zap through my head. Some times it's lingers though. If I can catch it then, I might have a chance.

Then sometimes life just sucks and I wake up with them. Nothing I can do about those but wait until the sun goes down.

Florescent lights can give me one or make one worse. The vibrations in them hurt. I'd rather sit up front at work under the BRIGHTER halogen lights than at my desk in back under florescent lights since the halogen lights don't buzz and flicker. If I get a migraine from a computer, it's usually an ergonomics issue and my shoulder will spaz out. I've been doing a lot of massage therapy for my migraines recently and it's really helped. It's closer to physical therapy on my neck than massage, but the difference is huge. It makes me wonder if my are not neuro-muscular based since I've never been able to track obvious triggers. My back xrays also show no curvature in my neck at all and lots of muscles overcompensating to try to pull my neck where it's supposed to be.
