Mine are much the same, Perna, and Kimmy, I do experience several of those symptoms. I guess what's tough for me is that my triggers don't just "go away", and I can't get away from them, nor will I ever be able to. Kind of annoying, that.

It's weird, though... once it's started, it almost hurts more/is harder to TRY and make the attack stop than it is to be having one. o.O That's just bizarre, I know.
Still, thank you all so much for the advice and support!! I really appreciate it.
many thanks,
