Hello,
I would need more information to determine if in fact your migraines are the cause of your AIWS or it's something else. If it's the migraines then, I would first recommend seeking a headache specialist to better control those.
If it's not the migraines then, how about having been checked for other organic causes such as psychoactive drugs (used to treat ADD, ANXIETY, MOOD DISORDER, etc), architectural anomalies in the brain, infectious disease such as EBV, or temporal lobe epilepsy?
Most people with actually "outgrow" this problem BY adulthood if it is noted in childhood and not due to anything I mentioned above.
If organic causes are not to blame then, the most likely cause of the disorder is something neuropsychological which needs to be identified and may respond to cognitive behavioral therapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dariush Saghafi, Neurologist
