I get auras without headache, tried a lot of drugs and nothing worked. I have been using magnesium supplement and the auras are kept at bay.

My daughter was diagnosed with silent migraines in pregnancy. It was scary for her. She went to the ER because of painless aura, visual change, one sided numbness and tingling in the arm and fingers (no headache). She thought she was having a stroke. She wasn’t diagnosed until seeing a neurologist who said it's not uncommon in pregnancy. I work in health care and most of the MDs I asked had never heard of them! Why is this condition so unknown? Why don't more MDs know about this as a possible pregnancy complication?

I have been getting silent migraines for a few years now and have NEVER had a typical migraine. I'm sure if they where strokes I wouldn't have recovered from several of them 100%

I get silent migraines. Aura is just the start and while there is no overbearing headache, I get the stiff neck, nausea, confusion, and feel like my head is heavily bruised for up to three days. Your video didn’t seem to really cover the full plethora of symptoms of silent migraine. It doesn’t end with aura.
