Hi Tonya!
The triggers for Hemiplegic Migraine attacks are the same as any form of Migraine, and the flicker rate of some of the older monitors can be a trigger. The newer LCD monitors are not a potential trigger because they have no flicker rate. Hemiplegic Migraine - The Basics is a good resource for this type of Migraine.

A Migraine specialist is the best doctor to see, especially for Hemiplegic Migraine because of the more complex symptoms. This doctor is an expert in Migraine and headache disorders. Migraine and Headache Specialists: What's So Special? You can look at our patient recommended specialist list HERE.
Good Luck!

I am no expert and I am trying to find a Doctor that knows something about this disease, but I have had this for many years it started when I was 18 but then I went 15 years with out having one and now in my 50 they are back and I have been working on computers for the last two years an the flashing of my computer definently causes me to have them. My company replaced my computer with a faster newer computer and it has helped some.
