I started to get aura headaches about 3 years after I was diagnosed with MS. I was experiencing vertigo and severe fatigue with them to the point where I was spending most of my time in bed recovering. I was prescribed Topiramate or Topamax as it is also known and this has reduced my headaches hugely.
I started taking 25mg a day, increased to 50 mgs and I am now on 125mg a day of Topiramate.
Aura headaches can start with symptoms of blurred vison, wavy lines, dots or flashing lights before you actually get the migraine attack which can be a long lasting painful headache. I never really used to get the migraines, but now I do and they are painful on head movement. It also leaves me overwhelming fatigue.
Since being on this Topiramate medication I can live a relatively normal life, it does still happy occasionally but no where near to the same extent.
Topirmate did cause weight loss quickly for me, this is not a medication that will be helpful to everyone as it does have some very strong side effects, so please always ask your medical team.
*Please also only use aspirin if you are not allergic to it.
I hope this video helps anyone out there who is going through the same thing
