i've had severe migranes on the right side where my face is numb and my right eye hemereged and my retina tore does anyone know what the heck is wrong with me. I have been to several retina specialists, and had a recent MRI that showed nothing.

You know what, I had something akin to that last summer - in fact, my whole right side went numb for a couple of days and it was the freakiest thing. I went to the ER because it had started as a pressure-cuff kind of feeling, but I was dismissed with a "pooh-pooh" and a $350 bill!
I went to my doctor, and he said that sometimes a person has a different kind of migraine where it just affects your nerves on one side of your body or another (no pain - just the numbness - don't remember the name of it). I wouldn't have answered to your question but you had mentioned the migraines and it seems akin to what was wrong with me.
I was taking Ortho Evra (the birth control patch) at the time, so he did take me off of that, thinking it could have also been a little blood clot that just passed, so if you're on hormonal BC that also might be a trigger...I am not a doctor, just a 22-year-old woman who seemed to have been in your boat. Sorry to hear about the eye problems, too. :( :(

This could be any number of things, and some of them are far more dangerous than are others.
Please see your family doctor and ask to see a neurologist. This could also be a circulatory problem in your neck, but a neurologist will check for that, as it can cause a stroke. It's also possible that these episodes are TIA's, which are mini-strokes. TIA's can lead to a serious stroke.
Whatever you do, don't stop asking questions, but ask them of your doctors. Don't stop until you have not only answers but management tools as well.

Nerve damage it sounds like. Are you on any meds that may be causing this side effect...some migraine meds have this side

Try checking on the discs in your neck.
