Summary:Data from 28 years of the author's personal migraine diary are analyzed for patterns of aura and headache. A total of 186 occurrences of migraine are analyzed. A migraine-interval histogram suggests that, although the median interval between attacks is 37 days, there is an underlying cyclical interval of just 6 to 10 days. Distinct patterns are found for specific combinations of aura and symptoms depending on whether both sides, the right side, or the left side of the head were involved in the attack.
