the twitches could be related. clue your doc in. your story sounds like migraine due to the nausea. it would be even more convincing if the pain pulsed like a heartbeat. the fact that a triptan works pegs your headache as a migraine variant. are you sensitive to light during episodes? if you are, that goes with migraine, too, but is not necessary. nausea is enough.
Not particularly, but I have noticed I'm less tolerant of bright lighting than I was when I was younger. Strangely though, it all started way back a few months after moving into the place I'm currently at, which as it turned out had a lot of mold inside the old air conditioner that was originally here (a fact that wasn't discovered until 10 years later when it was replaced), so it's possible that was a trigger. What's more is that when two different optometrists looked in my left eye, they both reported some signs of optic nerve swelling, but didn't have the necessary equipment to investigate further, which could point to something other than migraine, however when an opthalmologist took a look she saw nothing.
