..I just took the liberty of checking AI - which is of course not always correct: re vision and stuttering ... was going to go down the responses but noticed Mayo written .. I haven't clicked on that yet - but I now do recall something that happened right after my usual migraine aura (ziz zag moving bright lights in an arc shape gradually getting larger til leave "vision" after 20 or more minutes). I have had a rought five years but just recalled couple years ago after several migraines and my mind wandering: could not recall the names of my meds. Next time, could not recall names of my close neighbours. Another time my inlaws ! I dont know why I forgot about this.Happened about 6 times and then didnt happen again and I am now wondering if it was on some meds I was taking or totally related to the extreme stress I was under! In fact I did mention it only over the phone with a Dr. who felt it was all part of the migraine scenario but had never had it before nor after - this memory "loss" occurred during an 18 months period. Soo, was wondering if stuttering and vision loss similar. Of course, not trying to diagnoze you (or evenmyself) but if your doctor isnt helping, perhaps yo might like to somehow search if Mayo discusses? Then decide wht to do - maybe keep diary/notes of when this started etc? Best of luck, it IS scary. J.
"AI Yes, both temporary vision loss and speech difficulties (which can present as stuttering, slurring, or word-finding trouble) can be part of migraines, particularly those accompanied by a "migraine aura". These symptoms are usually temporary and reversible, serving as a warning sign before a headache begins.

?? Did your extra symptoms occur before or aftr migraine/aura? Just trying to help, J.

@lacy2 They happen during the migraine. sometimes also a few days before hand I notice them and that how I know I will end up having one at some point in the next 24-48 hours.
