It occurred about a couple of weeks ago, this migraine attack was the one with aura (I have such migraines once is a few months).

I woke up and realized that something was wrong…diziness, stage vision and a strange feeling of being “not myself”. I realized what it was all about and by the time I had aura I had sweet coffee and an antispasmodic ready. I took it all very quickly, put a dark sweater around my head, closed my eyes and set down into the chair. Aura implies severe pain so sitting is better than lying in this case (at least for me). Several minutes later the pain began, but it was not as severe as I usually . Probably in an hour, when I realized that the pain wouldn’t grow, I took a hot shower and felt better. Slight pain persisted until evening, but it was nothing compared to the ususal migraine condition. I know coffee is not recommended, but it helps me best. Migraines are very personal…

However, I always have anti-migraine meds that abort migraine attack because it may start during the sleep and you wake up with headache or migraine may start somewhere where you cannot prevent headache. In addiction, aura is not always “available” to warn you about the coming torture…Anti-migraine tablets the only way out for me when the pain begins.
