I'm new here but just wanted to say - don't feel you're going mad .As far as I can see there are a whole host of symptoms connected to migraine and I guess yours are just another horrible ( for you ) example .

If it's any comfort I'm trying to categorise what happens to me ( beginning to think it may fall into the migraine category ) and one of it's scariest symptoms could be described as electric shocks . Makes me cry out in shock .

One of the frustrating and isolating things is trying to describe symptoms . I don't find the medical profession very helpful on this front - they seem very anxious to put your symptoms in a box with which they are familar ( understandable I suppose ) and will say " oh so you feel weak and dizzy " when actually you've been describing something that bears no relation to weak and dizzy.
