Frequent aura attacks - only very slight headache afterwards. Attacks last 30 minutes - can be either right or left sided. Aura starts in shape of small zigzag letter 'c' (this way 'c' seen if on left - reversed if on right)then gets larger until the 'C' disappears out of view on whichever side if appeared on.

I have had my eyes checked too and although I am short sighted with stigmatism, my eyes are healthy.
Ive had 4 Aura Migraines without pain in the last 3 days. I've just had dental work done, maybe another link?

Glad to find this forum, I thought I was the only one experiencing migraines with aura (no pain). I am I I am 8 years post menopause, I used to get maybe one or two aura migraines per year before meno...but in the last year or so I have experienced hundreds of them and in the last 6 months probably 6 per week on average. Today I was at the hairdressers having highlights and had 2 while I was there, I put it down to the chemicals. I get the same severe visual disturbances and numbness in face and hands that people have described on here and they last about half an hour. I was previously prescribed atenalol (beta blocker) which hasn't helped at all - I have another appointment at the doctors tomorrow.

I had frequent aura attacks in peri and nothing for two years. I thought it was because I was long overdue at the opticians. After being fitted with new glasses they stopped but July this year I had five in a month. The following month three and last month five again. I know lights can set them off and possibly caffeine but I have woke up with them and dont know what set them off!

That's exactly like mine, flickering zig zag C that gets bigger and disappears. I usually feel very tired and there is a dull pain on the opposite side to the C.

I also get the aura headaches. I usually got 1 or 2 a year in the spring and fall. I’ve had 10-11 episodes this month, one day I had 3. I don’t get a bad headache, mostly pain at the base of my skull in the back. I do get nauseous, shaky, hot and very tired. I can’t recuperate because I get a new one. I’m a lousy sleeper, never sleep through the night. I’m done with menopause and have been. It’s depressing

Where do you live? We have had a really bad storm these past 2 days and my face has been worse. I really do think weather is contributing this all this crap.

I'm trying taking antihistamines, I suffer bad with allergies and like someone suggested said that these might help, I havent had any auras since but it could be coincidence, I am going to keep taking them to see.
