I Had Really Weird Visual Aura This Morning And I Am Now Getting Scared Of Auras. Does Anyone Else Feel Scared?

A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭
Winsford, UK

It was the first time I had this particular one and instantly recognised it as a migraine aura then I think because I recognised it so early it actually scared me.
Luckily my wife noticed I went quiet and saw me staring at the light and she went straight for my medication and told me to take.
Anyway like I said, does anyone else get scared now? Or have you all just settled with it?

Getting the Aura scares me to no end and makes me tear up,( not cry because that hurts too bad). You are not alone.

I don’t know if scared is the right term for me. I am continually amazed that I start off thinking that I must have something in my eye. I go on woth my day noticing it getting worse then all of a sudden it’s a migraine. Like this doesn’t happen 5 days out of 7. I getting scared I’ll never learn. ( and occasionally I think I might be having a stroke instead)
