Video a Visual migraine aura

Video 1 shows a visual aura of migraine suffer like those of Lashley and reported in 1941. “Normal vision” is to transfer the occipital cortex. The visual aura of migraine begins with a power outage “visual”, or positive (pink dots) a change in vision loss (gray) is the vision. This change took 22 minutes to his field of vision, a distance of 67 mm in the cortex of the occipital Cross. Accordingly, Lashley concluded his migraine aura 3 millimeters traveled per minute, never seen slowly. (This video was created with the assistance of Mr. Dale Mertes of the University of Chicago.)

Great just having an aura now complete with pins and needles and shining lights. Migrains make me want to pluck my eyeball out.

I get them every couple of days for around 2 weeks every 2 -3 years. They only happen in the winter months late morning/early afternoon. I think they must triggered by weather change or atmospheric pressure. I hate them!!!

Thanks for the comment. Weather (i.e., a drop in barometric pressure (for some reason)) can trigger migraine and migraine with aura.

I’m having one starting right now… Sometimes a simple meditation and deep breathing works. The aura will persist for 45 minutes but then the pain does not come afterwards like it normally would without the meditation. Just focus on healing thoughts and tell yourself “I am not having a migraine” over and over again.

One day my entire vision went whiteout/blackout within 2 minutes of aura onset. I thought it was ‘the one’, that my vision would not return or that I was having a stroke. It did return after about 30 minutes. I have not had one that bad since.. Though I am having a minor one right now lol.

That can work to reduce / prevent the pain. The “why of it” is what many of us are searching for.

these things suck. i’ve had them for 10 years, off and on. they usually run the same course of 30-45 minutes. i don’t get the headache part, just the aura. alcohol is a major trigger for me. i would say a high caffeine drink is the next most common trigger for me.

Yep…there it is…that crappy visual aura. Just a little bit more of a shiny, glittery zigzag! Migraines have ruined a large majority of my life!!!

Thanks for your comment. Hope you are feeling better. Millions of Americans suffer from migraine. I can’t say how frequent they might occur. Best to discuss with your doctor or perhaps a headache specialist. Many things to do to help prevent them from occurring. Good luck.

i’ve been having migraines like this since my mid teens (now 21), even though i know what they are, when i get them i still freak out. does anyone else question their vision for a while as the symptoms are present and after they pass? i keep studying everything i can see from the sharpness of corners to the accuracy of my peripheral vision to my ability to read words – blindness frankly scares me to bits

@wizardesque That’s it. The brain can do interesting things. This is one of them.

Occured to me twice, with a year in between. I’m only geeting the visual stuff and it dissappears after about 15 to 20 minutes. No headaches at all. Guess I’m lucky…

@Frin63

15-20 minutes. That’s right on target for the propagation velocity.

Yup, just had first one today, no migraine so far. I wonder if this had anything to do with the fact that I just got out of a meeting where we were told that we would have to cut our hours back over the summer…The crazy patterns and colors intrigued me, but the loss of vision because of the blind spots that it created was unnerving, and hard to get any work done!

@dpaul420 Sorry to hear of your troubles. Stress can be a trigger. Why, we still don’t know.

@coloursofsleep same here…I’m so hypersensitive to everything and I’m always checking my vision field. Plus I have a impaired vision, and the doctor’s don’t know the reason yet. But I heard that a lot people suffering from migraines have vision problems, it helps me believing that I’m not going blind

@rkraig Mine used to last for about 20 Minutes, but last time I had no chance to lie down, so it lasted for an hour. But as soon as I lay down, it eventually moved out of my sight. I had a slight headache afterwards, but I had been having one for over two weeks.

@rkraig Anyways, I felt well enough to see a doctor, he gave me Triptans and told me to take them if the headache gets to severe. I had been having scintillating Scotomas before, and as long as I didn’t know that they were typical for migraine, I had no headache…I probably expected them to occur last time.

@muchtoocrazy All of those symptoms can occur with migraine.

@muchtoocrazy Perhaps. More likley just an evolution to a new stage of your migraine. This can occur to the postive (less headache) and negative (more headache – depedning on situation (i.e., what’s going on in your life).
