Does anyone else suffer visual distortions before migraine headaches?

Absolutely!: 60% of people who experience migraines report having warning symptoms that occur hours to days before the headache starts. These symptoms can include changes in vision, mood changes, light or sound sensitivity, and others.

Yes, very often: Visual distortions are often part of the aura that precedes the onset of headache in patient with classical migraines. Use this! often, if you take your abortive medication as soon as the aura starts, you will be able to stop the headache before it becomes debilitating. Remember- earlier is better!
