I am looking for answers as to why I am having Hemiplegic migraines, Whether my Drs are competent to deal with them, and How I can help myself get over them! I will have auras, dizzyness, spacyness etcd for weeks on end, with head pain off and on every day, also having left sided numbness, tingling, sometimes complete left sided paralisis, and blurry vision. or my eyes "jump" esp. on the lfet side. I am mostly concerned that perhaps my drs have missed an underlying problem causing the migraines. They seem to be content to tell me some peopel just have migraines, even the type i have while more rare, they just dont know why. Seems to me they havnt looked very hard. Never checked brain waves, never checked my veis or arteries for blockages, no CT, nothing except an MRI to rule out a stroke or MS. I have also been diagnosed with Raynauds syndrome. They just want to throw me on drugs pat me on my back and tell me to have a nice day and that i will have to deal with the weeks on end auras, numnbess and dizzys etc. I have kids to raise I cant live this way. It gets so bad I cant drive my kids around, or sometimes cant even feed them. I need to find a way to help myself since my Drs arent doing any good. Any one who has lived with this type of migraine, please respond! Also anyone who has more info on it would be great. There doesnt seem to be a lot out there. I look forward to normal migraines after episodes of the hemiplegic migraines. My normal migraines(2-4 per month) are a walk in the park compared to it! I have been in an episode of it since the day before Thanksgiving. The last one lasted a month and half. that was in July.
Thanks!
