A Stroke and Hemiplegic migraine can have several overlapping symptoms. This video discusses hemiplegic migraine and how to differentiate from a stroke
Hi my wife had her first one of these yesterday at work and she’s 42 is it possible not to have them as a teen and it starts in later years. She was rushed to the ER because it felt like a stroke but they ruled that out after numerous test and she’s a migraine sufferer.
I suffer from this type of migraine. I get tingling in my hand. It travels up my arm into my mouth and tongue. Then the headache from hell! Confusion and sometimes bad speech. I throw up about 8 times. Very scary everytime. None of the tablets GPS have given me work. I've also tried morphine and codene and it doesn't touch it. Mine started around the age of 15 and I'm now 26 and still suffer. Doctors seem to not care when I say the tablets they prescribed don't work. The pain is so bad with the headache I'd rather be dead...only way to get rid of it is sleep for 4-5+ hours if I can manage to get to sleep that is!
This and migraine with aura are the ones I've had the most "medical discrimination" or "skepticism" with. Not only can they not be replicated or induced in any predictable fashion, but doctors often don't believe that someone can suffer from multiple types of migraine and headache. Thankfully the HM's don't happen often, but the Clusters are daily. The only bit of hope I can muster is to say that eventually (decades of agony) you build up a "tolerance". 🤬😭
Ive had these for close to 40 years. They come and go and can change considerably with age. Triptans help me considerably but not always and completely. I am very curious if there is a correlation to Alzheimer’s, some studies report an increased risk. Definitely something is going on in the brain.
I'm 41 and started having this type of migraine when I was 12.
Had one today. It's absolutely exhausting to go through.
