Migraine aura
Posted , 4 users are following.
hello everyone. so I have had migraine aura for over 10 years now on and off. they scared me to death I can have 1 then go months and months without 1 then I have had 2 in the last week. I'm so so scared it means I have something wrong with my brain or my eyes. I'm so scared of going blind so when I get an aura I really panic. I went to docs yesterday he has put me on proprominal.
can anyone just reasure me please I feel like I can't live like this anymore I'm in a constant fear every waking minute. I also feel like I see things and shadows but there nothing there like on cream walls and things
thank you.

Hi,are you under a lot of stress lately or have you been not sleeping well. My dog developed kidney failure,it was extremely hard on Me,increased anxiety,lack of sleep etc, I experienced many Migraines with auras in that time frame,for at least 6 months I have silent migraines where only my eyes are affected,no headache. All kinds of Aura symptoms. Now I have been having more stress again but this time,I have been getting more sleep. I haven't experienced much of anything for about 5 months now. yrs ago I would sometimes get the eye symptoms after eye strain or in dim lighting
Try not to worry too much. I bet it is just anxiety /stress related.

at one point i got a couple a week,i finally decided to mark each episode on a calendar to keep track of frequency etc Usually about every 2 weeks I would get it. You might want to do that and also write down your exact symptoms for each time. Also what you did that day,stress etc

i haven't had them in a few months,i was having them a lot. Yes they did scare me,but i saw the eye doctor and read up on the symptoms which pointed to a migraine. Try not to worry, I understand the anxiety,some days i would lay in bed most the day caus I was scared. just see a doctor,then try and relax.

Hi I don't suffer with migraines but from listening to friends who do the aura is a very common symptom. You are not going blind nor is there anything wrong with your brain. You would have far more serious symptoms if there was! x

I think we might have talked about auras before in a previous post. I had my first one a few months ago. It terrified me and left me with anxiety and panic attacks, which I didn't have before the aura. I had never heard of an aura before, so when it happened, I was so frightened. It has changed my whole life.
