Migraine Diagnosis & Migraine with Aura

About 6 years I had a strange experience where I didn't know what I was saying or what others were talking about, seemed gibberish. Was first diagnosed with TIA but having more episodes was then diagnosed with migraine (apparently they are similar).

Migraine with aura

I was prescribed sodium valproate but was nervous about taking them as side effects were horrific. Since then I get similar episodes that start with aura. Strangely, I don't often get headaches.
