Migraine sufferers...

[Helen1973]

Hey all!

I'm after some help. My eldest, Alex who is thirteen had his first migraine last night. He had the visual disturbances (blurring) in the afternoon and then a splitting headache during the late evening. He also went a little numb on one side of his face. He's fine today. I suffered migraines at exactly the same age, although mine was numbness of the face, legs and arms, as well as the tongue, making speech sound funny. I took him to the doctors who says he thinks it's migraine but wants a specialist second opinion because of the 'focul' point on the face.

I know that living in such a paranoid society that he's just being ultra careful, but does anyone else get numbness on the face???

Sigh! Just when my anxiety was getting better too!:wacko:

Hi

My Migranes are exactly the same as your sons
Always start with the eyes, then the headaches also get numb or tingling on one sie or the other, had loads of test but is due to the migranes, had them for years
i do find if i lay down as soon as i feel the eyes blurring it lessens the attack also i have to stay away from chocolate and cheese as these often bring one on

Best Wishes

Oh, thank you, Marc for such a quick response! :flowers: I know I'm being silly, but it's the referral to the neuro that is freaking me out. I have to keep telling myself that the doctor himself said that is probably migraines.

He is probably right
but best to have the tests, i have had most and they are fine
