    Yep sounds like a migraine.

    I have killer migraines. They start with i see squiggly lines in my sight, when they start i HAVE to take something right away if i wait 5 mins its generally too late and im hit with being unable to see anything, my hearing goes and my head goes numb and heavy and my head POUNDS. At this point nothing makes it go away only sleeping. But i usually have a lingering headache for days afterwards.

    If this is the first time experiencing it you should see your GP.

    Just thought I would let you know that it was definately, 110% a migraine...worst thing I've ever experienced My headache started building and building, I actually couldn't believe that it just kept getting more painful, I kept thinking that surely there would be a limit, but nope. I just lay there in the dark until DF got home. I felt super nauseous, every part of me was aching but especially my head. It got to the point where I couldn't even move or talk, it hurt too much to hear my voice coming out of my own mouth. I still have a lingering headache but I'm taking it easy. I wish that we had had some painkillers in the house when it first began, by the time df came home with some, it was kind of too late and I had to ride it out. NEVER want to experience that again, ick

    Sorry you had to go through that.. i totally know how you feel. But just to keep in mind.. if youre ever without pain killers, scull as much water as you can. I tried it once when we were out of pain killers and it actually made my migraine ease and then go.

    Hope you dont get another any time soon.
