Hi all
Am new to migraines. Am 42 years old and 3 months ago had first one. I thought I had heart attack. But things didn’t add up cause I didn’t had chest pain nor arm pain. Just slurred speech
Luckily I had morphine left over from kidney stone I had month before migraine attack. But morphine didn’t work. Had to take Advil and Tylenol too. Than I fall a sleep and when I woke up I was just tired but head was fine.
I went to fam doc for something else and at the end I mentioned headache and… read more
My one hemiplegic migraine was the scariest time of my life! What would happen to my 10 yr old? Who would care for him? Etc. Couldn’t even manage a gown for going to CT. Too sick w vertigo, confusion… read more
I started having seizures two years after my strokes and I was told they are a consequence of the stroke damage. One time I had a seizure the morning after a HM attack. My neuro thinks it could all be… read more
My migraine triggers are barometric system (weather change) I get the migraine two days before the system arrives, once it arrives just like a snap of the fingers it’s gone! I live in WI
I’m looking to relocate for retirement (I thought AZ?)
I am on disability due to migraines. I am very sensitive to barometric pressure shifts. I live in Utah. Last year the storms were horrendous. I asked my doctor where he would move to for… read more
I have been taking birth control continually (no break for a period) for over a year now. It has helped with my migraines which are linked to my menstrual cycle. However, my neurologist tells me that studies show that people who have migraine with aura should not take birth control pills as there is a higher risk for stroke. I am going to stop taking the pill, but I am worried about my migraines coming back like they used to. Any alternatives?
I had the same problem! I was taking estrogen, and my obgyn told me with my aura symptoms I can't take estrogen due to the fact I could have a stroke. She said the best possible alternatives for me… read more
My auras range anywhere from loss of sight to left sided co vultions, and my triggers are just about everywhere word love to hear from some of you with this type..
Thanks, I knew there was something different. It is freaky to lose your sight during these episodes. Sort of a “geez, what’s next??”.
Every month when I take my Aimovig inj for the first week it seems that I have terrible migraines and then I'm better. Anyone else!? And yes... barometric/environmental systems reek havoc on my headaches also. When
weather is nice, not too hot, not too humid, just right I feel pretty good. But I also can tell way beforehand when rain is coming, or heat w/humidity,etc. too cold 🥶❄️, etc. I have Fibromyalgia too. The two seem to go hand in hand unfortunately!
What I mean by strange speech patterns is trying to say something and it takes two or three tries to say it or scrambling something and it severely. The last couple of migraines I've noticed that it takes two or three times to say something. It's not slurred, just it seems like my brain can't put two and two together to make what it wants. I had one coming on the other day and I was supposed to say did you want milk in your cereal but it came out did you want cereal in your milk? I'm wondering… read more
Sometimes its not so bad like asking my daughter " What is the name of the book your Watching (reading)" symtac. Other times I can't formulate a sentence.
Does anybody have or get any type of speech problems when leading up to or during a Migraine?
I develop a stammer and struggle to even get any words out. This then upsets me and thus makes my migraine come on quicker or makes it worse.
I have had similar problems.. I try to take a deep breath and try to talk
My neurologist suggested massage, chiropractor and PT on my neck and shoulders for a daily persistent headache suggesting cervicogenic/tension headache/muscular skeletal also.
I heard back from my neurosurgeon. She’s sending a PT Rx so… 🤞
