Hi just checking in. I also have had auras with smells and lightning type sparks in head. i have smelled smoke, hot sausage (I am a vegetarian) and burning garbage. Sometimes I have pleasant aromas of hot chocolate (yum) and certain perfumes or pleasant foods. I have also thought of a food and could actually taste it and smell it!! Some of the better side-effects of migraines I suppose. please share with me!!! I have just received rx for relpax but have not had need to take it yet. I was in ER a few days ago with full-blown migraine. (I still have a slight headache anyway, but not as bad as it was)
Hello, and welcome to MyMigraineConnection.com!
Between 25-30% of Migraineurs have Migraine with aura, the second most common form of Migraine disease. Migraine is a genetic neurologic disorder. Anatomy of a Migraine explains the four phases of a Migraine attack in great detail.
One of the best things we can do to manage our disease, is identify and manage and triggers we may have. We have plenty of information on Migraine triggers you can find HERE, including a Migraine diary.
Teri Robert wrote this article, Migraine and Headaches - Tips for Living Well All Year, that is a must read for all Migraineurs!
