Full Question:
Anyone who experiences numbness/tingling on one side, then blurred vision, lasting a few minutes?My migraines returned at age 58 after a 15-year welcome respite (I am now 60). I experience the aura (zig-zag patterns), then the headache, sometimes with temporary tingling in hands and...
I just recently had a TEE to rule out patent foramen ovale. My migraines have left me with permanent numbness on my left lateral side including my face. after all the tests, the best diagnosis i can get is hemiplegic migraine. everything i read says the numbness should go away. mine never has though. the mri and mra of my brain and carotids were normal. the only thing that makes my symptoms of numbness worse is extreme heat conditions, which can last for weeks on end afterwards. it isn't MS either. anybody have any thoughts.
Wow, this sounds so familiar to me...My MRI came back clear, but I have crazy numbing on my left side. It's mostly in the face, but it does sometimes travel down the arm & leg. They diagnosed it a migraine, but I don't have a "headache", I do have the PFO. The left side of my face doesn't ever feel the same as the right. I'm just trying to figure this all out? Any treatment/ideas working?
Ditto!!!
I have numbness throughout my left side, but deep inside, like my gut is hollow or I have no skeleton (I know that sounds freaky). It gets more pronounced after heavy exercise or when I am tired/stressed.
I have a great neurologist who diagnosed me as having a migraine disorder. The numbness never goes completely away. I have no pain, no headaches.
Lamotrigine (125 mg 2xday) helps a lot! Of course under doctor's directives. It makes the symptoms greatly reduced.
(35 year, male)I have the same thing and it has been going on about a year & 1/2 started after about a month long headache. I have numbness that comes and goes randomly...sometimes I'll go a month without it. It is focused mostly in the left side of my face and my left arm but at time it does go down my leg and the left side of my torso. Got scared and called the doctor, they sent me to the emergency room for a ct scan...perfectly fine. Then I was sent to a neurologist and had 2 MRI's done on my head and my neck. All clear...no tumor, no MS, no neck issue and they have no clue about what is causing it. Neurologist did say he is seeing more and more of unexplained numbness. and that I should come back in a year or so. I haven't gone back yet. I due avg about 1 migraine every 2 months and take Teximet for it, which really does help. Also taking Lexapro. If anyone gets any answers please post!
Well, I am pretty new to this migraine thing. I've had 3 or 4 in the last two years, but this one that I have today is much worse than the ones before. I too was having a lot of numbness for a while and I discovered that I had aspartame poisoning, due to drinking to many diet pepsi. I got off of it and have tried to avoid it all cost. The numbness went away,but today I got a migraine with aura and I am tingling all over. Sorry I'm not much help,but I wanted to bring your attention to the aspartame.you should google it just to look at all of the side affects.
