I just turned 30 on May 4 and am on a maintenance plan with my neurologist for my migraines. I was "officially diagnosed" with migraines about 2 years ago after I got tired of being on allergy medicines and even when as far as having sinus surgery because I was tired of the sinus headaches/migraines that I thought I was having.

Well, the last few migraines that I've had I've noticed that AFTER the migraine, either that afternoon/evening or even a day later I'll see spots in the eye on the side I have my migraine on. This is very bizarre to me because I thought you saw auras BEFORE a migraine attack. I've never had auras before so this is new to me. My maternal grandmother had auras before her attacks so I know this is all genetic but the fact that it's happening afterward has me concerned.

Anyone have this problem or know why my brain is doing this all of a sudden? Is it the beginning of the end, as my mom calls it, where you start to fall apart when you turn 30?
