Migraine auras

Hi everyone, have just suffered from another migraine aura this morning and am feeling very ill. I began to get auras when I was pregnanat and they have continued for the last 18 mths after my son was born. Does anyone else suffer from auras i.e. zig-zag and wobbly lines in one or both eyes?? Can anyone tell me their experiences and if they think they know what triggers them. I was told during pregnancy that it was hormonal but that doesn't explain why I still get them. I do think stress could be a problem because I tend to suffer after a period of stress such as lack of sleep, ill baby or work related problems. Please help!

Thanks so much for your comments. I will ring my acupuncturist and talk to her. I have been keeping a food diary and have noticed that two of the migraines came on the day after I'd had lots of stress and tears (pg - hormonal - you know how it is). The auras are horrible, luckily they only last 40 mins or so, but I'm getting paranoid that I might have one while I'm out and won't be able to drive!!

This weekend I took 2 paracetamol straight away and drank half a can of coke (with caffeine) and that seemed to help. I could certainly walk around by the afternoon.

This certainly never happened while pg with dd - just shows all pg's are different...sigh...
