Magnesium and aura
Hi, I've been having silent migraine with aura for over 20 years. Over the last 5 years they have increased in frequency and my GP gave me Propranolol. Im not sure if it's doing any good as I get one or two a month.
I've read about Magnesium being good at stopping aura and wondered if anyone has used it and found it helpful
Many thanjs
Hi! We have a lot of resources about magnesium as migraine treatment. I'm not sure how much of this applies to aura specifically, but if your doctor is on board with it, it's worth a try.

Are you in a place where you have access to specialists? GPs are great at what they do, but they are exactly that -- general physicians. If possible, we encourage people to work with a neurologist or certified headache specialist whenever possible, because they usually have more specific training and expertise for migraine treatment.I wish you all the best. Keep asking your doctor to pursue other options. Trial and error is so important. We're here for you! -Melissa, team member
