i keep reading about classic migraine aura - the zigzag lines, the flashing lights, that whole visual thing. but when i actually got one, it looked completely different than what i was expecting. now i’m wondering if i’m even tracking the right thing in my log.
what’s your aura actually look like? is the textbook version what most people experience, or does it vary wildly from what they show in those illustrations? and the timeline - how long between when your aura starts and when the actual migraine headache kicks in?
mine was around 20-30 minutes but i was also panicking so accuracy is probably off. real question though - have you ever had visual aura without the migraine headache actually showing up after? trying to understand if that’s what happened to me or if i’m missing something in the process.
