Hi susan,

I'm glad to hear all your tests came back "fine." Aura, rather than "adora" is the second phase of a Migraine attack, and for some can be quite scary. But usually goes away after the Migraine attack is gone, or up to 24 hours afterward. If you still have a problem for this long it sounds like it may be time for a new doctor, more on that later. Many people have lots of different sensitivties to light, sound, smells, dizziness, confusion and tingling or numbness of the face or extremities on the side where the headache develops, and of course visual issues. You didn't say what type of aura you were having, but if you this article, it may help clear things up a bit. Anatomy of a Migraine discusses the four phases of a Migraine (not everyone gets each phase with every Migraine.)

If your doctor isn't able to help you, it may well be time to consult a Migraine and headache specialist. It's important to note that neurologists aren't necessarily Migraine and headache specialists. Take a look at the article Migraine and Headache Specialists - What's So Special? If you need help finding a Migraine specialist, check our listing of Patient Recommended Migraine and Headache Specialists.

I hope this helps,

Nancy
