The aura went almost unnoticed as I traveled home from Wichita. It had been a couple of weeks since my last migraine attack, a record for me in recent years. After a few strange flashes of light and noises I recognized it as a warning of intolerable pain. Within minutes I had been overwhelmed with pain, dizziness and nausea. All I had with me was Maximum Strength Excedrin which is only effective for the most minor of migraines. In an effort to beat the pain I went ahead and took four. It was not fast enough, the rise from nearly unnoticeable to completely unbearable took all of ten minutes.
The triggers are still unknown to me, I had not done anything out of he ordinary other than the short two day trip to Wichita. My diet had not changed and my sleep schedule was only slightly modified, neither had been a factor before.
