Migraine relief help?
in Health ·
My tongue went numb, my left side felt paralyzed, my left arm was tingling, and my eyes hurt so badly I thought they might pop right out—plus, I couldn't stop vomiting!
I had a very similar experience myself. It actually started in the morning when I began seeing flashes in the corner of my left eye, and then, after maybe an hour or so, the left side of my head started throbbing. Shortly after that, the right side of my face, my right hand, and my tongue all went numb. I couldn't even speak properly; I was basically just mumbling nonsense.
After that happened, I went through the same routine you ladies did—emergency room, then seeing a neurologist... Up until then, I'd dealt with migraine and other headaches, but they never had an aura.
Honestly, I don't think a migraine with an aura can even be compared to the ones without it.
I also tend to agree with most people here that stress is probably the primary trigger.
My neurologist prescribed Altmax for me too, so I'm really hoping it helps.
Anyway, I have one question. I was taking Yasmin for about two months, though I stopped using it roughly 20 days ago. Now, I’m reading on CNN that combining that specific pill with migraines can actually be fatal. 😲 Obviously, the last thing I’d ever consider is taking them again, but I was wondering if anyone else here has had similar experiences?
