I have... several times... but mine lasts for up to 5 hours... and then the next few weeks I have much shorter attacks.  Sometimes it happens right after I've used the albuterol for my asthma...other times the albuterol has no effect on me but for the breathing. Once I had an attack after a catscan with contrast... that was scarier because I happened to be alone at the time and couldn't talk. I'm 55 and started having these at 50 right after being diagnoised with Asthma.  I get the locking of the jaw, speech like I had a stroke but no eye or facial involvement that I remember or have had anyone say. I do hope your wife gets help.  I've tried several migraine drugs, and now am on a epilepsy drug... but I can no longer take albuterol, the doctors are afraid for me to take it... so my asthma is rather uncontrolled in the summer when the air is humid... my allergies are to molds. I have had only 6 big attacks but at least 20 smaller ones... good luck and God Bless you all... Fran
