Jackie,
Please do follow up with Dr. Krusz' & Teri's recommendation.
I have had many similar symptoms with my migraines for years, but in July there were new numbnesses. Fortunately, I work in a healthcare facility and they called 911. If I were at home, I don't know what I would have done, because I never called before when these were going on. I had experienced a TIA (transient ischemic attack) or as the ASA calls it a warning stroke. It has taken just under a month to recover from it even though I was able to return to work right away. My balance, judgment and memory weren't so hot, but no new brain damage according to the MRI.
Sometimes the symptoms can be so close, it can be a difficult call to make; and I know you don't want to bother the doctors at such strange hours or bring attention to yourself.
