I occasionally get migraines and they are terrible. They used to be much worse and more frequent when I was younger. I was treated for a while by a neurologist and then lost my insurance for a period of time so I wasn't able to see him anymore. I weaned myself off of the medication. I don't know why, but since then, they just aren't as frequent. I'm not complaining, just saying. I'm so sorry to see all these people here who deal with such pain regularly to all of you!

I have never had this sensation that you describe. My first thought when I read this was that you should really bring this up to a doctor because physical sensations along with the migraines makes me wonder if there is something putting pressure on the brain (like a cyst or some other type of growth). Like something causing the brain to misfire signals of "feelings" elsewhere in the body. But then, I read through the other responses and see that this doesn't seem too uncommon apparently. It still couldn't hurt to describe this to your doc. They may have some insight for you or could at least make sure that it is just migraines your experiencing and not something more serious. I wish you well and again my heart goes out to you for having to experience such terrible pain in your life.
