I have been told I have hemiplegic migraines.  I suffer from slurred speech and difficulty talking as well as a loss of consciousness causing mini black outs, on a couple of occasions.  My left arm is affected and becomes very weak and tired although I can still move it (reluctantly!) I also have numbness and pins and needles; so is this motor weakness or muscle problems?  I usually end up with my left arm resting across me for the duration of the migraine .  Could it be basilar migraine instead?  I also have M.E  the symptoms of which worsen during a migraine attack.  When the headache is severe I am hardly able to walk.  Is this likely to be connected with the migraine?
