You may be correct on the EEG prep, but I want to follow their orders just to be sure. A couple of weeks ago I had an episode that lasted about 30 minutes while in the neurologist's office. Four female staff had fun lifting me from a chair to a bed so they could hook me up to an EEG. They got about 10 minutes of data - don't think they learned anything. Yes, let's keep in touch on our progress (hopeful progress). I want to stay on meds, as I want to get away from the symptoms so I can get back to a half- way normal life. Miss not being able to drive a car, but never know when an episode will hit me. You would think with a Hemi, we could power through anything! Oh, I'll ask the neorologist about other causes of hemiplegic migrines. He said he is treating a number of patients with this disorder.

I was just going to ask you if you experienced the paralysis. It appears that you do I don’t get that I get, among a lot of other symptoms, total numbing on my left side and just so many other things and yeah, they can get so intense as it spreads to my entire body that I’m put down in a chair for a day to days. Then there are several days of recovery. One of my triggers, which I know is a massive trigger, is using my phone like I am right now. Being on the Internet is risky on my phone or the computer, I can’t watch television, reading can be a trigger. Of course the only way to verify this is still locked in a dark room for two weeks. That’s not gonna happen. I experience this day in and day out and I pray that you get to the bottom of what you’re dealing with.
