yes, I get the auras with mine. Visual is the first symptom, like little spots after one has been looking at a light, except I wasn't looking at a light. If it progresses, I also have some depth perception issues and then feel dizzy/nauseous before the pain of the actual headache sets in. My only recourse is a dark dark quiet room and trying to bear the pain out until I can make myself fall asleep. I try to sleep as much as I can once I get one.
One of my triggers is oddly enough driving in the fall and spring when the leaves are off the trees and the sunlight comes through the bare trees in a very erratic fashion. I don't suppose those reading this know what I mean but there are two times of year when driving can be downright fretful for me. I drive around with one hand against the side of my face to keep the light constant...
