Can you help me.

I am 22 years old and am looking for some answers as to why I feel the way I do. My doctors initially thought I had migraine (even though I have had migraines for 15 years and told them it was nothing like a migraine) but changed their mind when migraine medication failed to work. I have headaches that last weekd at a time and are at 8+ on the pain scale, nausea all the time, dizziness, feeling numb and weak in the right side of my body even though the left side is significantly weaker, confusion and inability to recognise simple words, blurred vision in one eye, and feeling like my body is trembling on the inside especially on one side. I also started having panic attacks three weeks ago immediately after a lightning strike feeling of pain in my head but took the anxiety and depression tests and am not suffering from either of those. I am currently on Lyrica, Tramadol, Panadol and Apo-Metaclopramide for the pain and nausea but it doesn't help the weakness or trembling and sometimes doesn't help the headache either. Has anyone else had these symptoms? I am making a list of the things it could be to cross off after testing. Thanks.

Hi and welcome to our little MS community,

Personally no, i do know a couple of people who have migraine episodes that last around a week, both ladies have mentioned their symptoms mimic a stroke when it's really bad, everything does resolve completely after it's over, so there's no residual neurological damage happening.

Have you had any abnormal neurological signs show up over the years?

Cheers..........JJ

I have but they were caused by migraines. I have had headaches for a week. Threw up. Lost the vision in my left eye. Had almost stroke like symptoms on the left with trembling. Mine finally went away with menopause.
