Aura Migraine
I need to share this with someone. Yesterday at 6:24 PM, I experienced the worst aura migraine and the worst pain of my entire life. I am a 24-year-old female. I’ve been getting aura migraines for four years. They started as just once a month before my menstrual cycle. Come the end of 2025, I have started getting them daily. One week I got them every day for seven days. Now June 2026 I experienced the worst one yet. I was in the living room with my sister watching a movie, that’s when my vision started to go. I knew what this meant so I went and took some ibuprofen and got my ice pack for my head out of the freezer. My vision leaving usually last about 30 minutes, this time it lasted one hour. I then went numb in my right arm and hand. Later, I went numb in my left arm and hand, and also my mouth. This is when the migraine started. I begged my family to take me to the hospital, the pain was unbearable. I threw up about six times in one sitting because of how much pain I was in. I couldn’t even lay on my head because it hurt so bad. All I could do was sit straight up and whine and groan. My mom gave me melatonin, but I threw that up. My family tried to tell me to lay down but I could not. Thank God they were over my house for this. All I can remember about last night is begging God to take the pain away, I can remember rocking back-and-forth, and the scariest thing I can remember is knowing that there was nothing I could do to make that pain go away. For someone who has been getting these aura migraines for four years, I never knew that I wouldn’t be prepared for one. Now I am terrified to get one like that again. These migraines are debilitating, they are ruining my life and I don’t know how much longer I can take it. Can someone please share a similar experience. Not that I would want anyone to go through what I went through, but I am sure there is someone out there.
