Of all the aura, the rainbows are my favorite. Much prettier than the "heat shimmer effect" or floating dots. Of course, if the migraine progresses far enough to see the rainbows, you know you're in for a bad one. Did you see the rainbows? Of all the aura, the rainbows are my favorite.

My husband and I both get them, and have passed them on to our daughters :( For me, nothing beats some caffiene (which I usualy avoid) and a dark quiet room. Migraines suck.

I'm feeling much better today. Man, that thing lasted over 24 hours! Thankfully it wasn't as bad as it could have been I guess. No seeing spots or anything. Just light sensitivity, eyeball pressure, and headache. Thanks everyone. I’m feeling much better today. Man, that thing lasted over 24 hours!

Are you getting the aura spots as well, where you can't read or really do anything? Those are my favorite. Fun aren’t they?

Are you feeling better yet? I used to get them frequently after having my first child. Mine weren't stress-related, but were and are hormonally related. Anyway, I had to get on a prescription med called "Imitrex" which did work whenever I had a bad one. Nowdays, they have newer ones like "RelPak". I am able to control mine if I take Excedrin as soon as I feel one coming on. I don't know if it's the caffeine in Excedrin that helps me or what, but if I don't take it, then it will always escalate to a full-blown migraine. I "feel your pain".

Not fun. To answer your question...from what I have heard stress is a factor in migraines. But it's because it has something to do with the changes in blood vessels and seratonin levels and hormones and such. I found this website just now which I thought was pretty interesting. http://www.mgwater.com/prev1801.shtml Not sure what is behind the website but I saw most of the information in other sites that came up on google too. Anyways, hope it gets better. If it is magnesium...my Dr. told me the best way to get it in your body is through baths with Epsom Salt. I have been doing it some myself.
