I get a migraine with aura about once every 6 months. It can last between a few minutes to several hours. When this happens, part of my field of vision disappears randomly and it becomes difficult to focus on anything or read. Then after the aura, I get a bad headache.

Sometimes, if I start to feel sensitive to light (a sign that I'm about to have a migraine aura), I take a paracetamol and it prevents it completely. The trick for me is to catch it early and notice the signs. My migraines seem to correlate with my stress levels, too much thinking and/or insufficient sleep.
