Migraines
by katiecoppock, Jul 28, 2008 06:21PM
With in the last 2 years i've been getting these horable migraines. I take tylonol 3 but it doesnt even faze it. I've been to the emergancy room 4 times. I've seen a Nurologist once. They start out as just a mild headache then my left side of my body goes tingly. I loose all control of my left hand. I have no idea what is causeing this. I've had a CT scan but everything was normal. The nurologist didnt help he was older then dirt and just told me to take tylonol. So if anyone has advice let me know.

You probably have hemiplegic migraine where , the symptoms are indicative of vascular disease and can be thought to be stroke.There are neurological signs of numbness and associated weakness with hemiplegic migraine.You need to go for regular follow ups and monitor your blood pressure levels regularly. .You should consult a neurologist and discuss regarding the treatment options as triptans are contraindicated due to their vasoconstrictive properties which may aggravate the pain.

How are you?
There is a possibility that your symptoms are due to hemiplegic migraine. In hemiplegic migraine the headaches are associated with weakness and numbness in one half of the body. There are medications available which help to control migraine to a large extent like imitrex and NSAIDS.
Please seek a second opinion with a neurologist and also keep a headache diary. The headache diary will help you to identify a trigger for your migraines. Take care!
