An aura is a warning sign that a migraine is about to begin. Recognizing auras is the first step to treating a migraine.

  • i get them, somethimes, but i don't get headaces. and this has, really REALLY little, to nothing to do with what this video say it looks like. it's like a rainbow that floats around and ruins your sight, a rainbow that is an asshole.

  • @Oreztar I know what you mean :( Whenever I get aura I just think "Shit, My day is ruined."

  • I find in many ways that the Aura can be as debilitating as the actual migraine. I mean it can get to the point where i just cannot see any more.

  • I have Classic Migraines with the visual auras and sometimes touch auras. Every once in a while I'll get one that makes my hand/arm feel like it isn't mine! I have had good luck with the med. Zomig. I have also had very good success with chugging a regular coke as fast as I can get it down. Strangely Pepsi doesn't work?!

  • I get these from time to time preceding terrible migraines...First time it happened, iI thought I was going blind.

  • I always get auras before a mirgrain and they ruin my day... I can't ever see and have to sit in dark with noise... I don't like it at all!

  • Mine is a half circle that has colors and zig zags.... Takes about 40-45 minutes for the Aura to pass and it basically starts small like if you looked at the flash in a camera and then it get's bigger until it leaves my vision like it's passing bye getting closer and closer... Once it passes then I get a massive headache that can last for 2 days...

  • @straaler5 An asshole rainbow!! That is exactly what it is. You nailed it.

  • Migraines*
