Hormonal migraine with aura (no pain)

Posted by gt @get, Dec 3, 2025

I have dealt with aura migraines since puberty and my neurologist has diagnosed it as hormonal vestibular migraine with aura. I had a mirena IUD in for about 4.5 years and felt really good when it first kicked in about 3-3.5 months in. I woke one morning to a zig zag like aura and got blind spots when looking at a computer screen. I laid down and took tylenol and felt better in the evening. I'm thinking, here we go the IUD ran out of juice. The next day I began experiencing diminished peripheral vision, light sensitivity including to fluorescent lights, trouble looking at a screen of any kind or size and blind spots when looking at those screens. My overall vision seems a bit delayed as well. All with no headache pain (until my eyes get exhausted working overtime). Also finding myself sensitive to sound and scent (I love music and scents). This has gone everyday for almost 3 months. Typically in the past the Mirena IUD helps me with these symptoms, I did get a new IUD placed so hoping this new one will help as well. Has anyone experienced this? I'm guessing all these issues are called aura, maybe? If you have experienced this and/or have any tips would love to hear.
