I'm not sure what this really means. Is migraine brain?

I am seeing Dr. Hain on Thursday. I finally sat down and wrote out my symptoms. Here they are:

1. Fullness/pressure back of head/neck/ears (first symptoms from October 2007).
2. Edges of things that are linear vibrate (door frames, pictures frames, etc)
3. Occasional one sided headaches, but more often tension type headaches.
4. Thumping of heartbeat in neck and back of head.
5. Continuous dizziness, lightheadedness, imbalance, rocking, bouncing, which in turn makes me feel weak, esp. in the legs and feet.
6. Feeling of falling backwards or to the right (worst symptom).
7. Shower walls appear to be moving.
8. Malls and grocery stores--ugh.
9. Anxiety or worry makes dizziness much much worse.
10. Sleep well due to fatigue from dizziness.
11. Neck feels tight all the time, dizziness sometimes made worse by pressing on trigger points.
12. Occasional pinpoints of light in vision, also lit-up creepy crawly things in field of vision when looking at blank sky.
13. Insides of ears feel warm or hot.
14. Lifelong history of sensitivity to motion.
15. Family history of mild dizziness and migraine.
16. Lifelong history of tinnitus, has not gotten worse I don't think.
17. Continuous pain in neck, shoulders, upper back and upper chest.
18. Pain from neck radiates into sinuses.
19. Top of head (scalp) is sore and sensitive.
20. Been on low sodium diet for over a month, and migraine diet for almost a month.

Does this sound inner ear or brain? Does anyone else have all of this?

The dizziness seems to be getting worse everyday. I have a small child to care for and a husband who is away most of the time. I'm so worried about being alone. This is a horrible experience and is ruining my life and my marriage...
