severe headache and twitching body
Posted: 02-15-08 20:03pm

Yesterday. As I was leaving work around 4 ish. I noticed I had a slight headache. By the time I got home around 6ish (I did some errands between 4 and 6) my headache was alot more noticeable. At this extent I knew I had to lay down, in the dark, with no lights nothinig. So around 6:30 i finally layed down and by then It was a severe migraine. I awoke around 8 30 I believe and my migraine was worse. Not only that but while I was asleep, I was either quivering or shaking or something. So I did not get a very good sleep at all. 2 seconds after I had woken up I still had this shaking and the massive migraine to go alog with it. It was almost like my body was in a severe never ending twitch. I was not cold, I was wearing a good amount of clothing when I went to sleep. I felt very hot actually, and at times I thought I was going to faint. So this twitch remained for a 1 hr 1/2 maybe. As I sat in the basement my body just kept twitching, but I did not feel cold. Like I said I felt hot, even feverish. At this time, around 9:30 I took 2 tylenols, and around 10pm I went to lay down again. When I woke later the migraine had not gone away AT ALL!!!! So I just went right back to sleep, and when I woke up this morning I had a headache. So I have a couple questions. 1) Are the 2 related, the migraine and the twitching? 2) Why is it after taking 2 tylenols, they did nothing at all for the migraine, either did sleeping in the dark without lights. Which normally works for me after only 1 hr maybe. Just any insite at all would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks Smile

Have you been taking some migraine drugs other than Tylenol?
Was that a generalized body twitching?

hmmmm, I normally take advil for headaches but I did not have any. This was a generic tylenol. Equivalent to tylenol 2 I believe. I don't like taking tylenol cause 9 out of 10 times it never works for me, and because I don't like taking codeine but I was desperate. I had nothing else. So yes I have mostly just been taking advil and if I don't have anything else I might occasionally take tylenol, generic or not. It was sort of like, when u get a cold chill. And you feel it in your whole body, except It kept happening. My aunt said I was getting the chills, but for that long. Seems unlikely. My whole body was almost jumping, every part, arms, legs, head. I had no control of what was happening, eventually it just dyed down, and then stopped altogether. It was kinda freaky!!!! Shocked

How are you?
What happened with that "strange episode" of headache and twitching?
Do you still get headaches, more often and more intense?
