I agree that definitely sounds like migraine aura. It's not unknown to have migraines early in life, then they stop, and may come back decades later. Often, migraines are painful but benign, but they can also be symptoms of something more serious.

Please see your doctor about this asap. Nowadays there are much better and safer medications, and doctors who specialize solely in migraines.
