Hi Michelle!

 

First of all, drop the doctors that don't listen and find yourself a specialist. If true motor weakness ic caused by Migraine, it can only be Hemiplegic Migraine and you need a specialist to diagnose and treat you.

 

Here is our list of Patient Recommended Migraine Specialists

 

Please don't wait on this, you need to see a neurologist or specialist about this now!

 

Good luck to you.
