First Time in Over 30 Years

I've lived with migraines for well over 30 years, but for the first time the other day I experienced the aura that other people talk about.

How weird that was! It was very disorienting and unsettling. I had no idea it could be like that.

Thankfully the pain wasn't so bad - but it sure was hard to concentrate on anything.

How do you deal with it?
What can you do to stop it?

I know almost nothing about the phenomenon.
