Well I get these symptoms. About once every other month I get what feels like I have a black eye on one side and its been punched over again. Pins and needles down that side of my face, blocked sinus and my eye waters.
I also have the flashing lights, sickness, need to go in a darkend room and stay there for 2 to 4 days, than its like I have done a few rounds with Mike Tyson for another few days after.
I am on Impramine daily and rizatriptan when I get a migrain come on.
I have had these since I was 13, touch wood, the nails dont seem to make them any worse.
