there are those of us who live with aura 24/7 with and without headache

Hello everyone from Migraineville AZ,

      I'm just putting this out there.  It was stated that it was highly unusual in a recent answer to a sharepost to see 8 periods of aura a day.  I suffer from constant aura - or what I call visual pollution.  It occurs with or without headache twenty four hours a day, seven days a week  - regardless of my preventative regimen (Lamictal was supposed to be an aura reducer - didn't work) - it is always with me and is an unwelcome part of me - when it is milder - lines dots, monochromatic, I can tolerate it -when it is worse it still frightens me even after suffering from constant aura since 2003-2004.  There are some aspects of the visual disturbances that present themselves as new, even after all this time.  Whether I will ever come to terms with it - I don't know.  I know Deb back east ("Weathering Migraine Storms") suffers from constant aura.  I think there are more of us than perhaps the site realizes.  It's not much fun being "unusual," but I think there are more of us than perhaps the migraine community in total realizes.

As I write this the black sagging lines so familiar to me float over the font.

This is my life.
