Since I dropped caffeine, my migraines also became much less frequent and when I have some caffeine, I am at risk for getting one. It seems closely related to sleep for me and caffeine (even in moderation) just greatly affects my quality of sleep.

Same for me. As a Brazilian, I’ve always drank coffee without much care, but eventually I started limiting it to mornings.

Then I noticed if I ever forget to drink coffee (or had decaf coffee instead) I’d have a headache in the afternoon.

My solution was to remove caffeine completely, now I only drink decaf coffee and this particular problem disappeared after a few days.

Now about auras, it’s hard to say if there was any effect as they’re more rare for me. This thread is the first time I’ve read people say they drank coffee after the symptoms show up and it can block the headache that comes later on.
