Migraine Aura Types (2 of 4) - What a SENSORY AURA Feels Like (w/ Multiple Auras Caught on Camera!)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 сен 2024
- Did you know there are FOUR types of migraine aura? The most common type of migraine aura is the visual aura, but sensory aura is common too! In this video I discuss what sensory migraine auras really feel like, and what the other types of migrane aura are. In my next few videos, I will go over the last two types of aura, which are language aura and motor aura, so make sure you subscribe and hit the notification bell so you don't miss those!
The truth about migraine is it's so much more than a headache! I aim to spread awareness of the reality of living with chronic migraine disease by sharing my experiences openly! I have vestibular migraine and complex migraine with basilar aura or brainstem aura.

Heeby Jeebies! We are halfway done with the migraine aura series!!
💚
I get all of these and I hate them. especially when it effects everything including my sight.
When she said, "If you're binge watching I love you," I felt so validated.
And you left a bunch of comments too! That's MVP stuff. Talking to you guys is my favorite.
Haha, same here! Started with the syncope vid, and almost cried, then I went to main channel page and started from the beginning. ;)
You don't have to apologize if you ever experience a symptom during a video. We know you don't choose to struggle with migraines or POTS and that it's a part of your life. It is strong and courageous to be willing to let us see what happens when you're not doing well. Thank you for sharing.
💜
Typically when I get a migraine it will start with a visual aura of sparkles that starts in my left eye at the bottom outside corner as they travel accross my vision I pretty much loose vision in that eye. Things are blurry and then it fades to I can see but I can't recognize what I am seeing. After the visual aura passes I get sensory aura which starts with tingles in my fingers leading to numb hands and my nose, mouth and tounge go numb. During this whole time I'm not able to think the straightest and certainly cannot talk well at all. After the numbness fades, sometimes I will get a painful headache and sometimes not. This has been my experience so far. Thankfully I have not experienced this too many times. Thank you for showing us what you are going through!
This is so close to my own experiences, it's scary! I get blind spots which get bigger instead of sparkles, but after this aura passes I get the sensory one as well (if it's a bigger attack). If its a really big one, I get the other auras as well, and I am usually out of commission for one or two days. Luckily I don't get those often. Your description is pretty much that of my experiences as well.
I've had the tingling feeling that would normally start in my hand and would spread up my arm and into my face and mouth. It stoped happening for a few years and then started up again when my migraines started happening
I'm so glad I found this I've been suffering with migraines with auras since I was very very young the first episode I remember was standing in line to registration for school and I start seeing big white dots and I felt kind of cold and I went totally blind and I remember the tables were to my right or left so I blindly walk towards the tables with my hands out to sit down. I had a stroke a year and a half ago that masturbated my migraines and on my other symptoms I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and it's in my 40s
Anywho the ores are constant I see triple 3D shadows lights during the day it's like a yellowish jello Aura at night I see shadows I think I see people but I don't I can't recognize people when they're you know 10 to 15 feet away I have to examine their body shape to see if I know them recognize them by that anyway most of the time I don't get pain but after the stroke I got severe stabbing horrifying pain and with the neck in the arm you know it's just been I've told doctors and they just blindly stare at me you know I really think I'm doing they think I'm doing drugs hallucinating drugs anyway but with The strokes The strokes I got you know experience of vertigo vertigo's been quite a problem too severe times for us times it's kind of mild I really never know moment to moment what to expect now anymore. I have to avoid people who cause me stress because that triggers it immediately I have a extreme nausea that started after the stroke I drink a lot of Ginger water it's awesome. I'm 66 years old right now and I've suffered with the migraine with aura probably 60 years maybe more.
Doctors have always ignored me they all think you're faking it they all think you want drugs oh well. I just subscribed I'm looking forward to your videos cuz when you tell people you have my agreement or is they don't believe you or you're right you see it on their face so.
Ive had migraines since middle school and I’m almost 52 but pins and needles weren’t a part of my migraines until this year. So many perplexing things have happened like this recently that I didn’t realize it could be migraine related. My anxiety level is going way down because of your videos and information.
Omg I never realized I get sensory aura and didn’t know what it was called ty
Same for a while! I thought I was just super sensitive to the cold or something. Glad I could help!
Same here 😳
yep, the same. first time hearing this terminology.
Do you get the chills with the goosebumps? Sometimes, I'll just get random chills! So freaky!
YES and it can be so oddly uncomfortable!
Guilty. You caught me. I'm binge-watching, learning lots of stuff I didn't know. You're an excellent teacher, Jen.
Somehow, you are able to be cheerful, even when a migraine is working its will on you. There's a lesson in that, too. Life can be - should be - enjoyed, despite all of the curve balls it can throw at us. You're succeeding.
I really like how you deal with it, explaining everything that's happening to you during recording. 🥰
I've had migraines for 9 years and never knew there were other types of auras other than visual. So interesting. I guess this explains why my legs and tongue sometimes "feel weird" (as I've described it to other people before) when I have a migraine.
So bizarre! I get paresthesias along the side of my face and head, and the cuff of my ear goes completely numb. Sometimes I will get a few stabs like an ice pick, very pin point, at the very top of my head. I didn't know that could be a part of aura! When my neurologist asks if I've been having aura I always thought he was talking about visual! I've had chronic migraine for over a decade and I've learned more from watching your videos than I have the past 10 years.
I'm a bit late to comment on this video, but I'm binging your channel, and I must say I am so impressed and touched by how real you are in your videos, Jen. You don't edit out the parts where you're having trouble. You're very real in your videos and I find that extremely unique and educational. You will be a turning point in the stigma against chronic migraine at the very least. Thank you for the effort you put into your videos. Pat Buddy for me!
Welcome aboard! I appreciate your feedback that you like those raw moments. It means everything to be able to help! Sort of gives some purpose (and adds fun) to the hell I'm in 💜
Thank you so much for this. I have been experiencing pretty much the same symptoms as far as the visual disturbances, pins and needles:/numbness-and two or three times in my life the speech thing that also happened to that reporter in California so it made me feel better to see that because it was Gary. I was diagnosed with migraines, but I don’t get the headache. I believe my first visual aura happened early on around nine or 10 years old. Again, thank you for sharing this and making those of us feel very comfortable that we are not alone here.
Thank you so much. Just, so, so much. You are so brave for posting this online. I could not more appreciate you for this. I'm not crazy. I'm not alone. It's not just me. Thank you so much for making these videos so I don't feel crazy for all these non-headache migraine symptoms. I never know how to explain it and feel crazy trying and your videos help me so much. I can imagine how hard it is posting proof of your migraines, because that's what happens to me on a micro scale every time I try to interact with someone when I'm migraining. Except you're doing it for the world to see. That's so hard and I just, really, really, really appreciate you doing that for the rest of us migraine sufferers. Thanks Jen.
I never knew that was an aura I have pots and mygrains all the time. You make me feel less alone thank u for what u do
I've been binge watching your videos since I found you earlier this week. I've had migraines for years, and I NEVER know so many of the things that I was experiencing (i.e. sunburn skin) could be related to migraines! I knew how I felt, but I didn't know why. Thank you!
You are very brave to continue making videos to give others migraine information that many doctors dont give their patients - Thank you! When I had my first Aphasia attack I thought I was having a stroke, when I went blind in one eye I thought I had Glaucoma, when I had my first memory block I thought I had Alzheimer’s , on and on my migraine experiences went. It was very frightening.
So - Thank You once again, your videos are very informative. I hope your health issues ease up with time. God Bless You.
Love you too, thanks for making this series! on to the next....
You're so welcome! Thanks for your support!
Thank you so much for your story! I've been suffering from these types of migraines for years and haven't ever really had anyone who understands what I go through.
I just found your videos last week. I've been watching them. I've have chronic migraines for years and a month ago they have been worse than ever. Causing fainting and seizures. They had to report me to the DMV. I feel so defeated and lost right now. Do you have any advice or tips? No one's seems to understand how bad these migraines are and how depressing this news was. Your an inspiration.
Absolutely Thank you! As a migraine sufferer, I sometimes want to lowkey slap people when they say "I hate when I get a headache or I've had 'A' migraine before". I've had an active attack that lasted 40 hours, only because I was then taken to the hospital. Just wondering, do you only experience nausea or vomiting as well? Thats the absolute worst, vomiting while in attack stage. Again thank you for sharing your experiences!
You're welcome! The just a headache thing is a straight-up rant I went on a bit in the video I posted today 😋 I did have vomiting as well (you're right, horrible during a bad attack!) ... but I have not had vomiting since going through vestibular therapy. That is, until pregnancy. Anytime in the first trimester + migraine = vomit.
Headaches are annoying but those that hasnt experienced true migraine should praise themselves lucky! Luckily my migraines went away in adolecsense. Mostly visual auras and then hours of hours of pounding like a freaking rock concert in my head and then hungover the next day. Wish you well and take care :)
I get migraines regularly, but I have never considered them to be particularly bad (the pain will typically dissipate with sleep). However I usually spend up to 48 hours after each one nauseated!!!
I have tension headaches amd they sometimes get really bad, and I hate when people say that I have migraines. I feel very lucky that I don't experience this and I always try to explain to people that a bad headache is not a migraine. This is very interesting!
Thank you! It’s not just a headache. Thankfully migraines symptoms aren’t as severe as yours but it’s still disabling. I’m tired of people saying it’s just a headache! It’s so much more!
Binge watcher! 🙋🏻♀️❤️
AKA ROCKSTAR!
Totally binge watching since I found your channel. I have started training my own dog to help with migraine alert as well as other things and find peace with your channel. I'm not much of a social talker or online talker but I wanted to let you know that your transparency of your conditions helps me and probably so many others more than you know. Thank you for sharing and I'm enjoying your energy in these videos.
Welcome to the family! Thanks for the love and encouragement 🙏 ☺️
Your videos are so well done and important. I wish I had you as a resource back when I started getting migraines 30 years ago.
Thank you 💜 so so glad they're helpful
I get those! I told my fiancee the other night as we were going to bed when i started to get tingles in my hand and arm and i felt like my ears were plugged. And he was so concerned, and I was like, oh, lol, yeah I'm just gonna have a migraine at some point later and wake up with one.
Just had my first attack that was recognised as a hemipelagic migraine with sensory and visual auras tonight and ended up in the ER from 8.30pm till 4.45am glad to finally have an idea as to what is going on, I have been experiencing these for years and always just assumed this is what a "normal" headache felt like because everyone always just told me I was being dramatic, excited to learn more from your wonderful channel
Thank you for posting these types of videos! I’ve been going through the same thing and I went to a neurologist yesterday and he believes this is what I have, I still have to go back to get a MRI & EEG to make sure I don’t have seizures. But with mine I don’t get the migraine, I do have a dull off & on headache everyday.
I am binge watching for a couple hours now and close to a couple hours last night. Until i was diagnosed with chronic migraines a few weeks ago i never gave it much thought or tried understanding whats going on. Even though i have had migraines for years now. Your videos are helping alot to understand some things i experience that i never attributed as a symptom of my migraines probably is indeed part of it. I too and am sick of people thinking "oh its just a headache". I knew that they are so much more then a headache, but i didnt know how much more it really was until i started watching your videos
I had my first visual migraine in 7 or so years yesterday and found your video. Binging! So- interestingly I was yawning intensely before my visual migraine although I was not tired. I never realized that could be a symptom too. I’ve had times of trouble talking at times too- again- never considered that could be related. Thanks for all the info!
I didnt realize what the symptoms were a warning for. Thank you!
You help me learn so much about my chronic migraines. Im under the National Migraine Center, and I’ve never heard about this which is very uncomfortable. Guess thats another confirmed sympton.
So interesting. Thanks for paying it forward. You’re the best, Jen! 💕
You are so welcome!
I get most of what you describe and also My throat goes numb which makes it feel swollen. And although I know I can still breath it’s really scary😳 Love that you’re pointing out that symptoms vary in different individuals. I often find people with mild migraines (or severe headaches) to be the most judgemental and disbelieving when your not able to function because of your migraine. Thanks for bringing awareness to the masses😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I hate that you have to suffer but I appreciate you sharing your own experiences and how you explain these types of things. I used to get visual auras with my migraines but thankfully I rarely get them anymore.
I get really bad pins and needles in my hands and mouth. Even though I know what’s causing it, it still gives my a lot of anxiety while it’s happening.
I have chronic migraines and forget these warnings everytime.
I used to get sensory auras quite a bit & they would come either before, during or after my visual aura. Mine weren't painful, more annoying than anything else. They were numbness & slight tingling as they came & went. I haven't had this for several years, thankfully. It's so weird how our auras can change.
Mine comes in the form of taste and smell and usually coincides with the visual aura. When the sensory aura starts nothing smells or tastes correct and everything is either overpowering or smells/tastes just plain awful like burned or slightly rancid. Hopefully this gives some an aha moment.
I was really excited to see this one and the motor one! Didn’t know where to classify my dizzy/unsteady aura - whether that was considered sensory, motor, or both.
am binge watching so you love me...❤ i love u back❤❤❤
The irony that I can’t learn about aura types because I’m currently getting an aura. 😂 Thank you so much for helping me to understand my migraines, your channel makes me feel like I’m not alone in this struggle. ❤️
I am binge watching but I am learning so much about my own migraines from this because part of my conditions cause is not being able to vocalize my thoughts so you are saying most of them for me
I think I'm actually having on right now
I experience migranes a lot in the back of the head usually and these videos are so awesome at explaining
Great to hear! I'm glad my explanations are making sense to you. I appreciate the feedback.
Wow, its so interesting how all the auras sound like focal seizures. My doctor is working me up for a lot of stuff and I have all these symptoms (which they keep calling migraines) but without extreme headaches. I get them often and for long periods of time but not to the extreme that true migraines sound. I can still function through them. They suspect I’m having seizures, but this also sounds like what’s happening. I guess the EEG will tell.
I don't think that's out of the question. I was dx "partial seizure" for 2 years and then a normal 25 min eeg brain scan thing (with no episodes during) made them say it's not seizure. I wish they'd caught an episode to see for realsies. Love, migraine jen
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
Binge watching ❤️ started from the beginning yesterday
Thanks for the video Jen! I absolutely HATE sensory auras especially when it goes into my mouth and face ugh
I love your voice and the way you explain things haha
Hehe thanks ☺
Yes, it's not a headache! It's a migraine, there is a difference!
A HUUUUUGE difference!! YES!
I've been getting migraines since i was 15. I wake up at 2am with one or if i get over excited I'll get one. I've called myself a functioning migraine sufferer. Thank you for sharing. I'm not sure of my phases, but I've had to stay in bed in total darkness because they hurt so bad.
I get headaches if I get too excited too! I call them happiness headaches and they're the worst! All my happiest moments ending with a migraine attack really bites. I wondered if this happened to anyone else and how it's related?
@@chevaliedelareverie i get them too. My hubby laughs, because he knows no matter how mello i try to be, im excited and it comes.
I am binge watching lol I love your content
🙌 woot! Thanks!
OMG yes. I haven't had a Migraine in over 10 years, but, about 2 years before they stopped I started getting tingling and numbness on one side of my face and down my hand and arm up to my elbow on the same side. It freaked me out. When I was first diagnosed with Migraines at the age of 13 I would be nauseous and would vomit every 5 minutes. The vomiting stopped when I hit my late 20's. I would still feel sick tho during a migraine.
Thank you for sharing!
Binge watching the series! And your chanel im new around here and don't know if you will see this. But I've enjoyed your vids so far. I'm someone who has pots and migranes, its rilly difficult to find channels that talk about it.I figured I comment just for the heck of it.
I get opitical migraines..Now I realize what all those weird sensations are. Thanks!!
Before a migraine i often get an intense craving for chocolate or less frequently milk.
Would this be classed as sensory?
Omg I used to chug milk before migraines and thought it was so weird! Glad I'm not the only one 🤣
I get a craving for sugar! I don't eat much sugar in my diet but just before a migraine ...wow its all I want! I found the best way to deal with it is if I put a sweetener under my tongue because if I give in and have food my nausea is terrible.
God Bless you and your family. Amen and God Bless.🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️
I have pots and CMD and a service dog to. I have 2 neurologists and 1 who only treat CMD and 1 who treats POTS. They barely grazed over my language issues " neurological stuttering". Seeing your video is SO MUCH more AFFIRMING!!!
Do you see an SLP?
Did someone DX your aphysia?
Could you please make a migraine DX video?
My doctors didn't pay much attention to the language issues either. I'm sorry you had the all-too-common experience of not being heard ☹ I'm so thankful I was able to provide some clarity for you! Make sure you follow up with your doctor to confirm before you self-diagnose.
I asked my neurologist about it when I went in for a regular check-in. I was told aphasia can be an aura, and since I get paralysis and tingles with attacks, it's most likely part of my migraine. They also said auras can happen DURING the migraine too, and that has been my experience - stuttering starts in the hours leading up, and can get pretty bad during, but they resolve during postdrome. Outside of migraine cycles, I don't have speech issues, so I haven't seen an SLP for it.
Give pets to your pup for me! Thank you for stopping in to comment
What does CMD stand for?
@@blackeneddove chronic migraine disorder
@@tcervenka you’d think I’d know. I’ve had migraines since I was 6. 😅😂🤦🏽♀️
You had the furrowed eyebrows at 00:34 - I thought, oh, boy, we're in for something in this video.
The partial blindness that comes during ocular migraines is what's a little scary to me. Part of my vision just ✨️ doesn't exist ✨️. However... I never get the pain with ocular ones.
You've just described a lot of how I feel with migraines. I thought I was just going barmy! Obviously not.
My auras are so strange. I get totally disorientated and so exhausted, but very little actual pain. Sometimes I have several a day and sometimes they last all day and then when I go to bed I will get a bit of a headache. Once in awhile I do get the visual stuff.
I have type 1 diabetes and sensory aura feels exactly like low blood sugar symptoms. I used to think my blood sugar was low, test my blood sugar and it would be fine. It took a long time for me to be diagnosed with migraines because my symptoms were dismissed.
So horrible that you were dismissed =( I'm thankful you know now.
Sometimes my hair hurts, I have to get up and take a hot shower. My hair hurts so much. The left side
O f my face goes numb and droops
Talking/hearing about migraines gives me a migraine and nausea. 😡
I love you too :D
I always feel the sensory thing up my neck and in my mouth and from there it feels as though it's burning my brain stem. I didn't really know that was an aura, though... I usually take rescue meds when the visual aura starts and I kind of thought the burning was from the meds. I also don't always actually get the headache part. It's weird.
It always starts in hands...up the arm and into jaw... Nearly like a heart attack lol
Omg yes! I find that when I eat my taste buds hurt, if that makes any sense? Like, food is too flavorful and strong that it sort of hurts
YEAH! Like when a smell is too strong!
I get the same sometimes hun x
It does seem like a nerve issue (connective tissue) because of the sensitivity aspect and odd or random pain signaling which one aspirin and loratidine would alleviate if i caught it early. Cold but not frozen gel eye covers also helped by blocking out light and reducing pain /eye problems.
Omg! My mom has migraines and gets the "sunburn skin"! Neurology hadn't a clue
Did anyone take propranolol for visual aura with migraine? How effective was it, what was your dosage?
A friend determined that high fructose corn syrup triggered her migraines.
Anyone else get something like a small hot flash? Can’t tell whether that’s aura or just from the brief panic when the other parts of my aura hit.
I suffer from hemiplegic migraine. I also get warm at the beginning - I can really feel the heat in my face. Sometimes it’s so hot it almost hurts.
Yes a white hot flash with sweat. Cold hands and feet though. It's crazy.
Yes! Hot one minute, cold the next! I'm back & forth like that the entire attack
So I have chronic migraines but mine actually do come with intense head pain and it’s not just a headache even when it’s that, seriously everytime I get a migraine I throw up, like EVERYTIME. it is a whole body experience!
SO TRUE 👍
Migraine is not only a headache at all, people really need to understand that
I never wears jeans immediately on my body, either I wera a different type or I wear something underneath, not only the jeans, there are other types of cloths that have the same feeling
Currently binging lol 💙
I get migraines after 45 min of aura that goes from one side to another. What sucks that even after the main migraine, 1-3 days after my vision feels off and I still have a headache. Stress, over sleeping, certain foods and too much screen time all contribute to this types of migraine.
Doggy had a monster itch! LOL!
I’ve had migraine with visual auras(classic migraines )since I was 18….I’m now 47. Just recently I’ve experienced weird sensory things like tingling in my fingers and feeling like a bug or hair was on my arm. Also at times my limbs feel heavy or like it’s hard to lift them even though I can still lift them just fine. I honestly have thought I was losing my mind. Now I’m wondering if these are sensory auras. I’ve had blood tests done, ekgs for my heart since I’ve also had high heart rates at times, chest X-rays, full abdominal ultrasound because of some chest pressure I was having and everything was clear and negative. Now I’m thinking this all could be migraine related. All the new stuff started after having Covid and I’ve often wondered if Covid somehow made my migraines worse. I also have a lot of anxiety which got worse after Covid and could contribute to these symptoms as well.
before I knew what it was I thought I was having a mini stroke every time it occurred. Then I went to a neurologist that told me it’s just the aura of the migraine. I wish I could’ve seen this video earlier, it would spare me a lot of anxiety lol
Breathing on my own skin can hurt when I am having sensory aura!!!
Yes! And a single hair feels like a pickaxe!
I cannot decide how many of my "headaches" are truly migraines. I think they are often, because of the nausea, light and sound sensitivity. But I am wondering now if the feverish shivery chills i get during migraines are similar to this? I dont know. I'd rather just say I have bad headaches because it feels so stupid to say they are migraines, knowing they aren't nearly this severe. Oh well! I guess it doesnt change how you feel to put a name on it 😆
How often do you have visual migranes?.... I just came back from a Neurologist and he didnt consider that I was having migrane auras just because "is not common and is even stranger someone having them too often"
I get them with arura i been getting with a kid no doctor could figure it out they said nothing wrong it get scared
i thought i was going blind, i had actual headaches i just assume migrains were extreme pain, now i think im experiencing migrains its nothing like what i originally thought the pains fairly dull compared to a headache, my eyes go bad its like i took LSD i cant see clearly my vision is distorted its like i looked at a bright light and now my eyes messed up.
thank you
OMG, is Nystagmus a symptom? I hate it so much and never had any idea it could be related.
Wow you sound like me.
You have behavioral changes as your migraines set in and changes in your mannerisms. Migraine Jen reminds me of River from Firefly in mannerisms. (not meaning this to sound rude just thought I might point it out if it helps you)
did you always have sensory migraines with your migraines? i have been on meds with for my migraines since 2019 and out of no where i started to get really really bad migraines again non stop after covid but now with sensory. It will last for a for up to 3 days go away for 2 and then come back and this is even with my meds which my meds use to keep my migraines at bay. My neurologist is sending me to get scans just because it is a new symptom of my migraine i never had before just incase something is going on more serious. But i'm just curious if your migraines evolved over time to new symptoms. It's driving me nuts waiting on my apt for my scans for answers.
Mine did evolve over time and then eventually I was diagnosed with pseudotumor cerebri (IIH). So I am getting migraines, but it's confounded by this high cranial pressure. Here's my video about being misdiagnosed: ruclips.net/video/28ZInKrPwdM/видео.html
how do you deal with THE PAIN ? I HAVE HAD MIGRANES WHERE I THROW UP AND I WANT TO SHOOT MYSELF IN THE HEAD BEACUSE OF THE PAIN ! HOW DO U DEAL OR MOVE WITH A MIGRANE IN PAIN .sorry its hard to explain live you sis
I lost my job because I went to the ER with stroke like symptoms, turns out it's hemiplegic migraine :(
Totally feels like you're dying the first few times it happens. Hope you're able to get treatment!
@@MommingwithMigraine Lol I can't afford treatment down here in TN, I was on an MMJ program for my PTSD and I find it helps with the neurological symptoms of my migraine however
I have questions about your paralysis episodes. Are yours hemiplegic, patchy, or all over? I'm currently uninsured and trying to figure some crazy things out, but I do have some co-morbid issues, including post-concussion syndrome, which I think is making my migraines more frequent, worse, more varied, and more severe. I promise I will not take anything you say as "medical advice." I'm an RN and I'm just trying to learn and understand how these dumb things can present themselves.
For me, paralysis is usually all over, symmetrically. Limbs go first, sometimes tremors/stiffness comes first. Sometimes I maintain control of just my torso and up (but no arms), or just my neck and up, just my mouth and up, or at worst, just my eyes. The facial droop is always right side. Hope you figure this out!!
