some different symptoms

Post a new topicby nemofreak on Thu Feb 28, 2008 4:25 am

So I started getting migraines when I was 14. I had 3 or 4 that year that really freaked me out because I had aura in terms of vision issues as well as numbness but I also had something that I haven't seen talked about here where I can't say words at all. I try to think of what I'm trying to say and it all comes out completely jumbled even if I can think of the words I am trying to say. I also can't write anything and text messaging is definitely out of the question seeing as it usually comes out completely jumbled and I send the message thinking that it was what i was trying to say. I had gone maybe a year without a migraine but in the past month I've had 4. Each one has the same thing happening--I wake up with a headache and realize that my hands, lips, and tongue are all numb. Then I start seeing spots everywhere and, when I try to talk to someone, it comes out in a jumbled mess. Soon after, I start getting really sick and vomiting constantly until I can finally lie down and sleep it off for a few hours. I want to get in and get some new medicine because when I went and I was 14 he gave me phenergen to knock me out and sleep it off, this doesn't work for someone who has to go to class or work. So I'm wondering if anyone has had these symptoms and found a medication that works for them because a lot of people I know have been through the wringer on trying to find a migraine medication that works and it really does sound scary. I know what works for one person wont necessarily work for another but it's worth a shot. Thanks :)

i can identify with your symptoms, i have experienced the same mumbled speech, which i find distressing when in company as people obviously dont understand what is happening and i cant tell them!!! i also go on to have difficulty remembering the names of items and people, which again can be frustrating especially when at work.i also get the numbness of one side of my face and my right arm.I was told i was experiencing hemiplegic migraines (my mum also has the same symptons), but i am just wondering if they are just migraines with an aura.Now i just get the aura and no headache!!

sybilcat, I'm also experiencing migraine with aura without a headache and all of the brain fog you both described. I don't have pain so pain meds don't work, but can you do anything for the aura besides just waiting for it to go away?
