Dude, I get honest-to-goodness physician-diagnosed, migraines but I also get headaches that follow the exact same patterns (same aura, same sensory hypersensitivity, same pulsating pain in the same locations) except that the pain level is merely awful instead of completely excruciating. I don't know what to call those other than describing them in terms of migraine.

(Also, prodromal symptoms-including increased irritability-are a legit thing. Just because someone hasn't hit the actual headache phase yet doesn't mean they aren't experiencing a migraine.)

Sometimes people have aura without an actual migraine following up, too. I once had a pretty weird situation where the complete right side of my body was strangely numb for two days. After going to the neurologist to get it checked out because it fucking scared me, he told me it probably had been an aura. I didn't have a headache at all the days after that.

This.

My *really bad* migraines start with a half-day or so of aura weirdness (facial tics, vision problems, inability to pronounce words or use them correctly) before the headache even begins. This is part of the pattern, this is part of the migraine, and I'm not going to start calling it something completely different just because some silly people don't understand that migraines are complex things.
