Estella,
That is horrible! YIKES! I can't even imagine a headache that bad! I didn't know that those symptoms could be caused by migraines! That must have been terrifying! I hope you never have to experience that again!

Unfortunately I've been to a neurologist and have ran the gambit of testing(also have a tremor that I've had as long as I can remember). He referred me to the Asthma Center. I went through more testing there and found that I have chronic sinusitis and asthma! I started taking the med's for that and my migraines decreased tremendously. But for the past couple of months they have come back with a vengence! Light sensitivity, nausea, dizziness, and aura (mainly light flashes and darkspots in my eyes). I usually take Excedrine Migrane when I feel them coming on and it usually helps. But not lately! The med's they gave me basically come down to a prescribed barbiturate but I hate to take them! I feel completely mindless and can barely move (overly relaxed) when I take them so don't, because I have to be at home doing nothing, not having a life!
