Migraine with aura, numbness, and aphasia.
Hello - 30 years ago I was at work and had a blurry spot in my vision, followed by my entire left arm going numb, followed by trouble speaking. It all happened within 45 minutes. When it was all over I was exhausted. It happened every few months or so and sometimes it would wait a year.
I moved to Texas eight years ago and the migraines changed to me feeling dizzy and feeling like I had a conversation with somebody that I knew I never had.
Last week, after a visit to a chiropractor my jaw was killing me. Went to the dentist to make sure it wasn’t tooth related. I was also checked for TMJ which he said I didn’t have. Yesterday, I had one of the old migraines with the blurry vision and numbness, But the trouble speaking didn’t happen, maybe because I took a migraine pill with the vision changes.
It’s very strange that all of a sudden the old migraine symptoms came back. Anybody experienced anything like this and what helped? Thank you!
I’m currently on sumatriptan (100mg) and But/asa/caff 50-325-40 mg

Are you seeing a neurologist for your migraines and to review your symptoms? Have you had a MRI of your head and neck/cervical spine to see if you have inflammation, compression of nerves/vessels, etc.?

Not a Migraine.

@dlydailyhope Great suggestion to see a neurologist. I began getting migraines with occasional aura and had many tests completed. It was discovered that I have a rare condition named Fibromucular Dysplasia and Migraines can be a result of this. I am on medication and have followup visits with my Neurologist to help sustain managing symptoms. I also saw a physical therapist for home exercises to help improve my ability to perform my activities of daily living, since changes in head position and bending forward caused limitations for when performing routine housework. I also had to stop some participation in favorite social activites that were triggers because of too much sound. I replaced these activites with quieter, calmer activities and wear noise-cancellation earbuds when I need them. I am doing a lot better with all of these interventions, than a year ago, when I was first diagnosed.
