Aura migraine

I wrote about what a PTSD episode feels like in my last post.
I failed to mention all the different side effects that comes along with childhood trauma.  One of those side effects is brain damage.  It' on the topics that never makes it to mainstream media. Trauma at a young age , changes the way a brain works.  There are multiple brain scans of patients with PTSD. The truth is trauma causes brain damage. 
My abuse began when I was 2 years.  One of the side effects of my brain damage is Aura migraines. Less than 1% of migraine suffer'ers,  get these types of visual migraines.  
I'e been keeping a diary of things, that's helped notice a pattern leading up to my migraine. For up to 72 hours before a migraine.  Noises are louder and sharper. The lights are terrible and I'll notice the lights have a white shiny sheen to them.  Basically my vision goes wacko. When I was younger I'd close my eyes and pray when this happened.  I didn' understand..I'd think all kinds of crazy thoughts. I'd get scared and confused. And whrn i tried to explaine whst i was seeing...I was called crazy, instead of being helped.  I found these photos online of a little glimpse of what I deal with when experiencing a visual migraine.  But it doesn' let you feel the anxiety that happens when experiencing one.  They happen randomly. Sometimes I have to pull over if I'm driving. They last where from 15 minutes to an hour. A few months ago I had my first one that piggy backed. I was at the gym. Waited an hour  for it to finish.  Only to start driving and 5 minutes later, pull over and wait it out. That was the worst. 
Here's a link that gives you an idea. If you have this issue.
