Has anyone felt "electric sensations" while having a migraine?

I have had migraines for about six years now and I am under the care of a neurologist. My migraines seem to have been getting worse lately. When I get them, it feels like I get bolts of electricity pushed into the side of my head. Hard enough that it pushes my head a bit. I know this sounds very strange, but I am hoping that someone else out there that reads this has had this and has been diagnosed because there are no meds that are touching my migraines and my doc has not yet to run a test. The basic symptoms I get are extreme sensitivity to light, pain in the back of my eye and at the base of my neck and sharp "electric" pains that shot across my head and actually make my head twitch. I really hope that someone has had this same thing and has been cured or diagnosed and can help me out.

has any of the people you've seen suggest that the cervical spine discopathy (dislocation) is the reason ? a chiropractor or osteopath can easily fix the condition. just remember all head aches are external never ever inside your head, but on the scalp and neck muscles, take drugs to reduce pain like muscle relaxants, even aspirin is good

There is much help for you! Your neurologist may have to refer you to a 'headache' specialist. Your 'electric' sensation is not unusual with migraine headache. Some people also see lightning flashes. You're not strange.

In the meantime, be careful what you're eating. Many migraine sufferers are sensitive or allergic to many foods and/or ingredients. (MSG or Accent are common offenders. YOU CAN ALMOST BET YOUR FAVORITE FOOD(s) contributes to this problem.

I take TORADOL just as mine are coming on and it seems to work if I catch it in time !

Could you also have a sinus infection? My husband had feelings like that when he had a real bad one.

Our body is live with electricity produced in body.
pl see what suits you.
If you are in cold country use all warm things.
Pl try cold water bath and observe if in hot country, if pain increases use warm.
If you have cough/cold body hot water bath will help.
Massage and exercise in front of morning sun is good thing, pl try.
Pl try simple acupressure given below for immediate relief.
If it fails you will have to go for Acupuncture.

There is hardly any medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for RA, OA, Back ache, Ear ache/ringing, Stomach ache and almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.

Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV & COMPUTER SOMETIMES, Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy, BODY CONSTITUTION etc are their causes.
None of them can be treated with medicine.
Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.

Acupuncture is the best treatment.
I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.

Pain killers don't treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds.
The useless drugs have tremendous power of side effects like liver/kidney failures, ulcer, inflammation of intestines and lot more.

Avoid late sleeping if possible; worry, tension, spicy foods, sour fruits, stale bakery foods, SMOKING and alcohole.

Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits like dates, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help if cough is not there.

But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it is very strong.

If it is acute pl search a painful point (with round tipped pen/jimmy) 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.

For forehead/eye pain the points are in front of nails on the finger tips or 3-7 mm below.

It may disappear naturally too.
