New Symptoms

Hello, this is my first post on here. I’m 22 and I have had migraines since I was 13/14. For most of my migraine-affected life i’ve been able to deal with the pain. Mostly i have always been sensitive to light and highly irritable during an episode. For a short period of time in high school, Excedrin used to help but it got to the point where I was taking 10-12 pills a day with little to no affect. Sleep was more of a distraction than a cure. I’ve dealt with it in that way for the past several years. For the past six months i’ve felt more severe migraine attacks, often lasting weeks. I’m in a constant state of pain, i experience tingling and tenderness in my body even when i’m not having a migraine. Most of time last month i saw through strobe light vision and felt very dizzy and lightheaded at all time. i also grew extremely sensitive to sounds when trying to sleep. i have been experiencing hypnotic jerks at night much more often, i have experienced several instances quite often in the past few weeks of an intense, sharp, prickling pain in my left foot for several minutes at a time. i constantly have neck, shoulder, and lower back pain and my left eyebrow is painful to touch. the other day i was on the toilet (tmi, sorry) and all of a sudden i got an extremely intense and paralyzing pain in the left side of my face. it only lasted for a few seconds but the left side of my jaw has felt sore ever since. I feel like i’m focused way too much on every little ache and pain because most of these symptoms are quite new and frightening. i admit i spend a lot of time searching for answers online
