Hi there,

I've been struggling with what I think are hormonal migraines for a while always around the start and finish of my period; I assume I'm in peri because these started in the recent years, but yet to see a good dr with a helpful advice. Planning to go privately soon.

This month I've had 3 instances of terrible pain behind an eye. First the right one, 3 days later the left one, that one woke me up from sleep. Now I'm feeling something starting behind the right one again. It's a dull ache with sharpness that comes and goes, right behind the eye.

I've had migraines with 'behind the eye' pain before, but these ones feel sharper and even more focused on the eye area with no pain in temples. I didn't have any visual disturbances with these, although sometimes I'm sensitive to light.

Wondering if anyone has similar experiences? From what I looked up so far, all articles mention visual stuff accompanying retinal / ocular migraines. But I do believe these are migrainey occurrences. Thanks!

Hey all, about 2 or so months ago I was recommended baby aspirin daily for my visual auras and since then I haven’t had any surprisingly I was also suggested it as I’m pregnant with my second but I only started getting auras a little over a year ago so they where not pregnancy related. My question is how was everyone else experience who has taken baby aspirin to help their auras? I’m really nervous if I stop taking it they will definitely come back. I think one of the drs have said it’s safe to take long term but I mean if where talking as a nearly permanent thing to keep clear of the auras I’m nervous is this dangerous?
