So true to identify early warning signs!
(Hmmm, just like BP!) And YES on hydration... that is a big help on regular headaches too.

Those auras can be so weird, yeah?! I sometimes had that warning sign, but not always. There was one that was VERY bizarre, and even after years of recognizing my "usual" types, had no idea what was up.
Thought I was going to have/or having a seizure or something! Then the migraine came on, at which point it was obvious what it had been. I had to take meds at the first sign too, as there was no real catching up later.

Even so, I'm in such agony. Groaning, even pushing my head against the headboard to feel better.

I had a light headache (not migraine) for a couple of days starting Lamictal. Thank goodness it was light and didn't last. You've been on Lamictin awhile now, suga, right? Had you had any problems like that before while taking it? Yeah, there was no correlation with menstrual on either BP cycling or migraines for me either. It's a good thing for sure to chart though to see if there is one(!)
Are you feeling all better now, suga? Hope so! Lots of
