Very stange that you are still seeing it after the onset of the classic migraine. It's usually a pre-headache occurance....at least from what I know and based on my experience.
All I know is right now, the makers of Relpax can kiss my hairy ass.
I frequently suffer from aura without even headache, which is not entirely uncommon. But yeah, traditionally, the passage of the the aura is welcome, even though a headache is likely to follow, because I know it won't reoccur
( ... )
I had migraines a lot as a teenager... They stopped when I stopped eating meat and foods packed with MSG. I've also found that drinking or eating things with lots of Splenda in them will cause me to have them as well.
Mine usually start with that wavy line business in one eye, but then I get this odd view of everything. No matter what I'm looking at, I can only see half of it - almost like I can see through things.
Then the numbness starts on the opposite side of whichever side my vision is fucked up on. Then the pain! THE PAIN!

Mine seem controlled by maintaining a regular(ish) sleeping schedule and the avoidance of both caffeine and overly bright computer monitors. I have it down to no more than one or two a year.
I am not sure, however, if four episodes over three days counts toward the next two years though...

Do your speech or thought processes ever get effected? I had a particularly bad one once where the things I was thinking were not the things that were coming out of my mouth. There's a history of stroke in my family so that's when we got seriously concerned about my migraines.
I'd definitely look into 4 eps in 3 days. Do you have allergies?

More speech than though processes. In my daily speech, I tend toward sesquipedalian tendencies, but there have been times, prior to a migraine, where I have been completely stumped, unable to recall even, words as commonplace as "grave." Usually, this is a good indicator to me that something is going awry with the brain.

Uh huh, my maternal grandmother died of a sudden stroke at the ripe old age of THIRTY. I always assumed a similar fate awaited me. Seeing how I'm at 33 right now, I guess I am living on borrowed time.
