Migraine is an on and off kind of headache, it usually occur on one side of the brain, either the left or right hemisphere, it is hard to go away, the cause of it varies differently, can be genetically born with, can be due to earlier injuries or abuse of toxic drugs and also smoking.Originally posted by alba:can anybody here be kind to share with me, what is migraine with aura. today is the shockest day of my life, as i am reading article suddely i find the words in the text look blury or i can't concentrate wht word is that, it is sudden and scary, i look up , i find the whole place like glaring that i have to walk away. it last few minutes but nearly shock me, i can't focus well, and i find the corner of my eye block. a little.

Aura is a sign of eyesight diminishing, it is not the eyes that is having a problem, it is the receptor of image in your brain is having some problem, this may be caused by high blood pressure, lack of oxygen, blockage of arteries.
You can try breathing exercise every morning, be more relax, and do light exercise more often. Even if you need to focus on certain reading or thing, take some time to rest and continue again. -
No, it only hints that you are seeing flashes of light.Originally posted by alba:migraine wiht aura means light, what is that?

You should see a doctor, as I've said, your doctor will know best. Triggering factors wise, there are really a lot. Some common causes are listed in the website, but not all are. -
the aura may sometimes be a side effect or warning of the migraine. Normally only for pple with serious ones of course.
for some pple it might be smell also
edit: go consult a doc got medication to suppress de. and might be because of allergies -
has anyone here kena before or have friends kena before, isit common aura thing? can it be cured and won't bother me , i am so scared.

You have to see a doctor first. Confirm with him what triggers your migraine and take preventive steps.Originally posted by alba:has anyone here kena before or have friends kena before, isit common aura thing? can it be cured and won't bother me , i am so scared. -

Hi there threadstarter, I have similar problem as u. It is migraine.
my aura attack serves as a symptom to a coming migraine attack. Nausea causing vomiting will follow suit as well. It usually takes me more than half a day to recover.
However these attacks rarely comes. (roughly twice a year)
For me i tried cuttting down on cheese and chocolate consumption.
Looking at glaring lights, eg comp screen at long periods of time might also trigger an attack. -
I have it too. I'm 19 btw.
It happens when my body is too 'heaty' or I do not have enough sleep for quite a few nights. Basically the first effect of it is headache and you will even feel the pain in your head for every step you take when walking.
Next you will experience is finding your surroundings very bright and some corners of your vision being blocked off by the extreme brightness.
Basically, I would sleep through the whole period and drinking lots of water when I wake up once in a while.
First time having it was in Pri 3, the day before the end of year examinations. Attacks would depends on how 'heaty my body' is. -
so this is migraine.
i got it once at work.
i was so so scared too. it took me close to an hr to recover.
but i wasnt having headache at tat time, i saw white flash, like those glare from a powerful camera light, so is it stil migraine?
im always experiencing strained neck or headache.
i suspect i got tumour but then im afraid of truth. -
To TS , See a DOCTOR.
-
np dude, sometimes my migraine also portrait similar conditions. mine might be caused by the stress pulling on the nerves on the back of my spine. no worries.

Your brain and eyes are under huge stress. Take a day leave. Not worth to work OT if it will costs your health. If u are male, go geylang and call some vietam or china girl to destress. Remember to bring condom if u want to enter their hole. Yeah it is the best way to destress. Sad to say but true.

So when you do go to a doctor and they give you advice that is on the back of what, 10 years medical training and god knows how long in practice, you ignore it and assume the answer has to be something else or someone with no medical knowledge whatsoever can give you a better diagnosis and treatment? I'm sorry but... you're never gonna get any better if you're just going to ignore any good and educated advice you're given.

Go to a doctor to have a piece of mind because the forums can't help you. Of you are not satisfied - seek a second opinion - neurologists happen the be the medical specialists you want to talk to. Auras could be an indication of brain disorders or just a result of a migraine.

Told you all she is suffering from Attention Deficit Syndrome liao.
Hi, Sweetday, back with one of your imaginary problems again? Eh, wait I see this one before also. So what is next?
Start posting how your hubby call you stupid and your mother in-law treats you badly and blah blah blah again right?
At first when I first started reading your post back in CNA forum that time I also pity you and even told my parents about you. Then I remember my father purposely register himself there to send you a helpline and even ask you to call him so he can refer you to the family centre since he know some people there. But what did you do? You never call him. Never mind you never call him you didn't even reply to his private message and didn't even call the family help centre line for your problem but every other day you keep posting looking for attention. Waste our effort and time. You are really a living parasite!
