I tend to find that I first notice the visual aura because reading becomes significantly more difficult. I can still make everything out, but focusing on the words takes additional effort. This sometimes comes with some sort of visual artifacts, often things moving within my vision. Unfortunately stopping my activity at the time is rarely enough to stop the onset, and this progresses into a severe headache. Taking ibuprofen and paracetamol, preferably with a caffeinated drink, at the first sign can reduce the intensity but I don't think I've ever managed to avoid it entirely.
