Hi Julio!

 

Migraine with Aura is when a person gets visual disterbances, "aura" before a migraine. An aura can also be a smell or sound too. Click on the link for more information on Migraine with Aura.

 

Sometimes, aura is a blessing - it can tell a migraineur when a migraine is on the way. It gives them enough time to take medications before the migraine phase hits, to possibly prevent the migraine from happening.
