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

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!!!!

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