Hi, I just found this forum today so this
is my first post.
I am just now wondering if some of my
symptoms could be mirgaine related. It all
started about 15 yrs. ago. I began having
spells of visual disturbances, smelling
weird things, ears ringing, and my head
feeling a bit spacy. These spells didnt
seem to correlate with anything, sometimes
I would get them alot, other times it
could be many months in between. One time
I got all these visual auras with ear
ringing, then my vision started blackening
until all I could see was a teeny area
right smack in front of me. I couldnt see
anything to the sides. I went to an eye
doctor who found my vision to be perfect.
However, he thought it might be
neurological related, or maybe migraines
without headaches. But I had no insurance
then so never followed up on it. But i
still had these episodes on & off over
the years. I've also had bouts of sudden,
unexplained nausea and vomiting without
other symptoms. Now i'm wondering if this
could somehow be related. Just recently, I
began having severe sun sensitivity in my
eyes. I went outside and all of a sudden I
couldnt take the light, my eyes started
watering as if I were bawling. I couldnt
even take the light off my computer
screen, so I wore sunglasses. This lasted
about a week. I went out to dinner and all
of a sudden I felt weird, but
unexplainable. I took one bite of salad,
and I'm sure it didnt even reach my
stomach yet and the horrible nausea
started. I had to run quick to the
bathroom and vomited like crazy. Then my
head felt spacy and I became very sleepy.
Even had a hard time waking up the next
morning. Just felt odd for about 2 days.
The other day I got another bout of nausea
and eye sensitity and my ears rang.
Sometimes i get all these symptoms
together, other times it might just be
vomiting or ear ringing or auras, etc.
I never thought about it before......but
is it possible all these symptoms could be
related? Even though they dont always
happen together? And could it be migraine
related, even tho I dont get the
headaches?
