When I feel an episode coming on, my wife knows it, as I say, "ah, SH__" then my speech starts getting slurred. As I mentioned, thank goodness it only lasts about 10 minutes and it seems the Topomax is doing it's job of making them fewer and less intense. So don't you have slurred speech? I hope you have a screen reader and your wording is fine.

No, I don’t have slurred speech I don’t lose coordination. The reason I lean towards a hemiplegic is because I get the full numbing and just the left side of my body. It’s the only other thing I’ve ever found that explains left side or right side, numbing and tingling, but over the years it’s progressed to my entire body, but still with my left being predominant, and I’m still kind of in the episode. And then it takes who knows how long to recover from it.
