I suffer from Migraine Since nearly 8years now. Different Symtoms are nothing new for me…

But there was just one i never was able to describe with words. So i drew this picture for my neurologist to show him what i feel.

Describing that one side of my head and ear sometimes feels bigger, abnormal or cracked open even tho there is nothing phisically wrong with it , was weird.

My neurologist laughed and immediately knew what i tried to show him.

“You experience something called ‘Alice in Wonderland Syndrome'”

A form of Hallucinations that often appears as a pre symtom of a migraine attack. People with epilepsy experience this too.

Wikipedia:

Alice in Wonderland syndrome (AIWS), also known as Todd’s syndrome or dysmetropsia, is a neuropsychological condition that causes a distortion of perception. People may experience distortions in visual perception of objects such as appearing smaller (micropsia) or larger (macropsia), or appearing to be closer (pelopsia) or farther (teleopsia) away than they actually are. Distortion may also occur for senses other than vision.
