It is not uncommon for Migraineurs to have normal MRI's or CT's.

It sounds to me like you do. I have been doing some reading on the internet, and it does not always include extreme pain. Especially pay attention to your environment before it happens. Bright lights, heat, overexertion are a few of my triggers. hope this helps!

Thank you Amy. I have been told that the aura I see is an ocular migraine, but don't know how that is any different from any other, except that it only affects my vision a little. If my head discomfort is another manifistation of a migraine problem, I would like to know what to do about it, as it is a really long lasting problem when I have it.
I will try to notice when it begins to happen and see if I can see any connection to the situations you mention.
