My experience-Reading to quickly getting through an aura (and preventing secondary flare ups)
I've been suffering from debilitating migraines since I was 16. Tunnel vision, aura, nausea, intense headache, the whole shebang. I'm in my 30s now and I still get them. All these years I thought the best recourse was to take pills, go to a dark room with an ice pack on my head and neck and ride it out. But I just discovered an amazing fix. I've never had a migraine subside this fast.
Tldr: focus your eyes on something - especially reading
I know this sounds counter-intuitive but hear me out.
I've been having unusually frequent migraines lately. My auras last 10-20 min usually and at its worst grows to take up 50% of my vision. I did my usual routine described above but the aura kept retriggering. After 45 min of this I got up and just went back to my computer to force through work. Surprisingly, the aura went away. I've had 3 migraines over the week since then and I've been able to banish them each within 1 hour with minimal aura and very little residual headache by just reading.
It was very hard at first but once I forced my self through it I found that the migraine passed before I noticed or hit very lightly. All I did was read stuff on my phone. I'm pretty sure it was the act of consistently focusing my eyes.
Gone are the days where I writhe in pain and boredom while waiting for a migraine to pass. I can actively push it away while keeping myself entertained.
If anyone else have tried this method, can you let me know how it went?
