    At around age 30, I was diagnosed with silent migraines after other things were ruled out. My main symptoms were: extreme dizziness, fatigue, noise sensitivity, & a couple aura episodes. My cycle & weather were factors. Then for 20+ yrs it was subdued, but now I have chronic dull headache with whole body tingling & fatigue. The tingling is worst in the torso. In late 2018, (after thyroid cancer), a constant thoracic spinal pressure was determined to be several spinal hemangiomas, & the frequent tingling as well as that pressure is hard to ignore. It has affected my quality of life. Staying active helps, but it is tough. Sending love to those suffering with chronic conditions.❤️

    2 and 1/2 years of torture ..going to multiple doctors, hospital, and 8 million different rabbit holes of what might be wrong with me....this might not be the solution, but the way you were talking about it really makes me hopeful that I might have the answer. Thank you sooooo much for this video. ❤️

    Also wanted to add -- its SUPER COMMON for migraines to show/pick up around hormone changes in women!! If you had problems as a teen, then it can totally pop back up later when hormones change again (like perimenopause)! I had a few short bursts of vertigo when in my 20's, but nothing that ever made folks think migraine at all... now I'm 43 and have been hit HARD as my body is dropping hormone levels.

    Thank you so much for this video. I’m trying to get all kinds of doctors to listen to me for a whole range of neurological symptoms since 2020.
    The past week I thought I was going blind or get a stroke or something.
    When an opthalmologist said I really needed to be thoroughly checked by a neurologist (again), I cried of relief that someone didn’t tell me I was healthy and should see a psycholosist.
    On my second ER visit yesterday I begged for some kind of medication when they wanted to send me away to get iboprufen when the neurologist said it was probably migraine and while it doesn’t help with all my symptoms I do experience improvement with my extreme double vision. I thought I was losing either my sight or my mind.
    I hope the neurologist will really help me this time in a couple of weeks. She’s supposed to be very good. I have hope again. Your story was so relatable!

    Hi Roisin, thanks for making the video. Today I had a silent migraine, aura only, no pain. Usually I would have a some type of ache. I woke up feeling cranky and my hearing was sensitive, I just felt spacey and not with it. I should have known it was an upcoming migraine. It always surprises me even though I've had migraines since I was 15. In my 40s now and I still can't get used to them. For me the worst is the impending doom and the panic attack it triggers in me. Even though I must of had over 100 migraines in my life I still cannot calm myself. The confusion is frightening. Your video has calmed me today as I feel I'm not alone. As you say it is a disability and can be embarrassing, particularly in the workplace when the confusion happens. Interestingly I used to think caffeine and chocolate caused my migraine, now I realise they help. Migraines are very complex. If I had to guess the root cause I would say the weather is a big factor. Perhaps something to do with the barometer pressure. Oh, also today I had arthritis in my left wrist so this is another reason why I think it weather related. Again, thank you for making the video. Stay well.

    OMG!! SO I am not the only one in this world with this weird silent migraine. It started 2 months back and keeps coming randomly. I have vision problem and it scared me like anything. I see zigzag crown like shapes dancing in my vision all of a sudden or losing coordination between my eyes for about 30-45min then everything back to normal. It’s soo weird bcz if u look at my eyes when it’s happening, they look absolutely normal!!! Nobody can imagine what kinda torture this is! Hope we find cure for this soon🙏🙏🙏

    I can relate! I've been having migraines since pre-teen age. The 1st couple times I experienced seizure like confusion and visual auras, with noise and light sensitivities. It frightened me so much, as I didn't know what was happening! Throughout my teen to adult life I'd get debilitating migraines, almost always associated with my menstrual cycle. I was also on birth control, and had polycystic ovarian syndrome. I became anemic (from heavy periods) and would frequently pass out, specifically with sudden changes in temperature. (Like going out into heat, after being in an air conditioned building). Later in my 30s, I had migraines which caused intense pain and confusion with vomiting. I once had a migraine so bad, that it lasted 5 days. I was eventually taken to emergency, where they did a spinal tap. I avoid aged cheese, wine and other alcohol, MSG, and cured meats. Most recently my migraines have been awful feeling in my arms. I feel cold and the veins in my arms feel like they have bubbles in them. It's so bizarre feeling. I have a headache and will vomit several times. I also am now getting the frightening classic visual auras. I've had EEGs with "normal" results. I have arthritis, neck pain, asthma and GERD and other digestive issues, as well. Some triggers also include being around chemical smells, like exhaust fumes, smoke and paints, glues etc. It's frustrating when others don't understand or think you're exaggerating, like you're crazy, or it's just a headache!

      Pls get medicine bc migraine damages the brain causing white matter legions /hyperintensities. Many names for it but small vessel eschmia is umbrella term that means vessels deep in brain are damaged by migraines (or cholesterol or high bp or diabetes). Look up Dr Michael Teixido - he’s great

    So glad I came across this video. I do get painful migraines following aura occasionally (had one yesterday and feeling like a swamp snail today 🤪), but most often I get them without the aura and they’re generally triggered by dehydration I think. BUT, I never knew about migraine without the pain and after watching your video I think maybe I finally have an explanation for what I’ve been experiencing for the past 7 months. Sudden inexplicable feeling of doom, brain fog, heightened sensitivity to touch and sound, low mood, low appetite. I’ve gone to a couple doctors and they basically offered anxiety meds or tips for managing anxiety. Could it have been migraine all along? Now, I’m thinking that could very well be the case! Still not sure what to do about it but at least I feel like I’m not losing my mind now!

    For 10 years, I have been diagnosed with multiple things. I kept telling every single doctor to please look at all my symptoms as a whole. Now, as of this post, I am still waiting for my EEG results. But I had an episode during that, so hopefully I end up with the correct diagnosis. But I started with auras and just blacking out full-on smack than boom wake up fine. To then, having separate occasions of mini stroke symptoms. Then they combined. After that, for the last 5 years, it morphed to full motor parrallisis on both sides of the body, no speech, body temperature plummeting down, blood sugar drops out, and blood pressure climbing high. I suffer from brain fog also. My back muscles draw up painfully. I can be in this state with all above symptoms at once for 6 8 hours at a time. After I have what I call neuro exhaustion. I have no strength and can barely get around sometimes for hours after or weeks after. Now my current diagnosis is complex migraines.

I want to explain that during those hours and hours I am concentrating so hard on just my breath so as not to feel any of the pain or the spinning or the nausea or the general ill. Just very very ill. And, to hold on to the thought that it always ends.

    I get migraines where I cannot see. There is literally a black spot that gets larger and larger and takes up my entire field of vision and then dwindles into a colorful aura. I cannot talk and sometimes get numbness. I’m usually wiped out for the day. I’ve been getting them with pain since I was 12 but when I got older no headache - just the aura. Luckily they seem to be coming less frequently (last one I had was short and a year and a half ago) so it seems impending menopause may end them. Thankfully

My weight has been affected as I can't eat easily. I'm autistic. Beyond frustrated. Believe 2 conditions could be ruled out I think the eeg needs to be done when I'm having the attack as my senses feel completely scrambled and fmri would show My blood vessels don't tighten which is why triptans don't work an fmri would prove that false my aura phase is way too long ive the nausea and sight probably for days . It looks like flicker vertigo. Its horrible. I Dropped to 5 stone at one point over the appetite loss. I'm trying to retrain my eyes not to hate light. I'm losing hope at this stage. It was a stupid attitude that led to me not getting a diagnosis in the first place I could even trigger the thing. Leave my light on all night it happens.

      With millions of migraine sufferers, an overlap is inevitable. There are described cases in which both diseases exist in parallel. However, the lady has observed her attacks and their progression very well and can draw good correlations with the classic progression of an attack, which is sometimes difficult because the classic model is actually only a diagnostic criterion. She has migraine attacks with great certainty.
