When I see those lightening bolts (aka visual aura symptoms) I start taking my meds, and reduce stressful circumstances. Sometimes that has looked like taking a mental health day without an actual headache and making a chiropractor's appointment. Since kicking the toxic boss from hell to the curb and getting a daith piercing, I've gone from 4-5 migraines per month to 4-5 per year. I no longer force myself to sit at a computer screen for 8-12 hours writing documents because that causes too much physical stress for my body. For instance, today's goals are put my veggie starts into the garden and make a quilt block for the quilt I'm making for myself. I spent an hour in the quilt room, and while I was making good progress and having fun, I knew better than to stay. I wandered to the freezer and selected food to cook for my sons tomorrow. I unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher. I haven't gone out to start on the garden yet, but it's a goal for today. Realize that auras are telling you to take a physical and mental break before your body puts you in a break. Best wishes.
