    I pray there is continued research on aura without infarction. Many suffer Visual Snow without migraine, which only makes matters worse as this symptom never finds a true diagnosis, just that it must be part of a migraine. Please continue updating the public with this disorder. I never heard of Visual Snow or PMA until it happened suddenly to my daughter 6 weeks ago without migraine. As there are medications for almost every type of disease and disorder, VS shouldn’t be ignored. It devastates quality of life and causes depression and anxiety.

    And the fact that VS is permanent is even more devastating. There are so many people with this disorder, it boggles the mind how the disorder is barely known.

    I have had these flash type auras for many years. they are Arcs and never a complete circle and not often. they are very bright and I do not see well at all but haven’t had them for years. Usually when I am stressed. However, recently have had heart surgery (Aortic replacement) and since then they are often, almost daily. I have found that taking one regular aspirin it will disappear within 10 minutes. I never get a headache after the Aura ever. I am wondering if it is associated with my vascular system. Also, my dad had it and also my youngest daughter as well. They are now diminishing in occurrences. I am recovering nicely as far as my energy level goes. The auras are not as frequent..at all.

    Based on symptoms of flashing zig zag arcs and disabling head pain, occasionally accompanied by blackouts, I was diagnosed as a migraine sufferer. 20 years later when symptoms became unbearable and I insisted on a CT brain scan, a slow growing 8 cm diameter meningioma was discovered which had to be “removed immediately”. So after mega steroids to reduce brain swelling and enable craniotomy to remove tumor, all good. Would have been nice to remove a small tumor 20 years earlier, so do not accept migraine as only diagnosis.
