5 years ago when I was in labour with my second son I woke up with a banging headache along with labour pains so I went downstairs to my partner to tell him I needed to go to hospital and I couldn't talk. It came out jumbled and slurred and didn't make any sense it was like I was speaking in different language. I also couldn't understand what my partner was saying.
We rushed to hospital and they said I had pre eclampsia and put it down to that.
Then last year I was watching tv and suddenly realised that parts of peoples faces were missing and writing on the screen. I looked in the mirror and half of my face was missing in a blind spot on my eye. I then began losing my whole vision and could see all these kaleidescope colours. This lasted half an hour until my vision came back and then a pounding headache started.
Then last thursday night I started off with a headache went to bed and my son wouldn't go to sleep. I went to say to him that it was late and we had to be up the next day but I couldn't remember his name or think of what to say. I was aware that my thought weren't forming as they normally would I felt confused and spaced out but as if I was locked inside my head. I also felt like my whole body had disappeared.
At hospital the doctor asked me to follow his finger but I couldn't my eyes were just darting about on their own and my pupils were massive.
The feeling wore off after an hour and they said it sounds like complex migraines. They wrote a letter to my doctor to send me to the migraine clinic.
I went to see my doctor on monday and he said lets see what the experts say first. He has referred me to a neurologist.
I am so worried they are going to find something because I also have regular periods of things looking unfamiliar to me such as my house or old school. I do suffer badly with depression, anxiety and panic attacks so that probably doesn't help.
Does anyone else suffer these symptoms with migraines?
