Hi Rachel
How are you ?
As you know , i have a hemiplegic migrain and idiopatic small fiber polyneuropathy .
I want to ask you about the migrain attack?
Do you lose the speech when you get the attack ? Because that is happened for me and thr neuro return the Topamax medication for me after he stopped it when he prescribed the botox injection for me from 2 years ago . But now the neuro wants me on the botox and the medication too . The loss of speech it takes days now and i feel weak on my right side of my body too .
Would you please , tell me is this your situation too .
Thank you

Manal

Hello Manal
Oh dear, no I do not lose speech and never have with a migraine. (I'm sorry for the late response...just seeing this now).
I never was on any headache med like Topamax. My Dr went straight to botox every 3 months. Triptans never worked so then to Aimovig and now Emgality monthly injection. Cambia is my abortive powder medicine for onset of migraine. I'm going for botox this week and my body tells me when I'm due, believe me. I feel botox is incredibly valuable to both migraine and neuropathy. I feel terrible that you've experienced these feelings. That's scary. I wish you the best.
Rachel
