Hi, @gwenetrout, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Sorry to hear you have had the migraines with aura for so long.

I found a Mayo Clinic article on hormonal migraine I thought you might be interested in:

- Headaches and hormones: What's the connection? https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/chronic-daily-headaches/in-depth/headaches/art-20046729

What did your doctor say when you got the new IUD placed about the diminished peripheral vision, light sensitivity, screen troubles and blind sports, and sensitivity to sound and scent?

@lisalucier I'm curious if you know why my migraines consist almost entirely of eye issues (the reduced peripheral, light sensitivity, trouble looking at screens, getting blindspots on screens, eyes being easy to fatigue and eyes feeling easily overwhelmed) what is it that causes that? Although my vision is clear and not blurry if I'm in the mall or costco not only do I have the aura but also everything I see I have to look at for longer to try to process what I am seeing, it's like I also have a slight delay in processing when I have this. There has been several times over the years, since my menstruation began this happened.
