Hi, I'm new here. For the past 24 hours, I have had what I'd describe as back-to-back visual migraine auras! It started like the ones I've had before, lasting around 10-15 minutes. It began as a tiny flashing grayish dot, then spreading into a larger, psychedelic bright fluorescent blob. It flickered out and then I'd get a temporary blind spot. It occurs in both eyes, open or closed and tends to be on the left side. About 1 hour later I had the same thing, also with zigzag lines and the headache. Soon afterward came another aura...and another...and so on. By evening, they settled into a predictable pattern. I'd get a very slow, low-level grayish flash...then about 10-15 minutes later, it turned into the regular flashes. And it's been this way since last night. Sometimes they fade out in 30 seconds or less. Some last around 2 minutes and have the bright colors. This went on through the night, making it tough to get decent sleep. This pattern is still with me today.
I just 56 and 6 years postmenopausal. I have had migraine with visual aura for several years but only getting thmn a few times per year. And I'd seldom get more than 1 or 2 at a time. They'd only last for 1 day. In fact, I just went 2 years without any migraine! It reappeared one time last December. I've never had them this bad.
Has anyone else experienced recurring auras so close together? What helps? How long do these runs last? This is so frustrating! Any advice is appreciated.
