headache/numbness/ help me???

I am so sorry you are going through all of this. I am too so I feel your pain. try this book "Heal your Headache by David Bucchovic? I think that is how you spell it. Follow the regime I am on it now 48 hours...so we shall see. I have been diagnosised with Menieres Disesase (ear) and I am not convinced now - I think this is all migraine. You are not crazy and there is stuff ont he numbness in the book - made me feel SO MUCH BETTER> These people have been doing this much longer than me! ALso look at your diet there are a TON of migraine triggers - maybe you are eating one right now? I was according to the book. So God bless and I am wishing you the best!

Actually, if you ask any persons in the medical field, they dont know the difference between a headache or migraine unless they experience it themselves. You do indeed another mri, perhaps a nerve conduction test to see about carpal tunnel. ALso if you feel you have a tumor or something like you do say, do not settle for anything until you have answers. You can also get second opinions, third, fourth, fifth etc. Also start a journal of anything you eat and drink and look for common factors. Keep another journal when migraines start, what makes them worse, anything like auras or numbness. THis can not only help you find migraine triggers, but maybe answers as well.

What are the symptoms of a migraine with aura?
Migraines with aura account for less than 20% of all migraines. But that’s little comfort when you are the one who falls victim to this painful headache.

Headache is considered the symptom common to all types of migraines -- although a few children experience an aura without a headache. Migraine pain usually occurs in the front of the head on one or both sides of the temples. It may throb or be steady.The headache may last from 4 to 72 hours.

Other symptoms of migraine may include any of these:

nausea
vomiting
yawning
irritability
low blood pressure
feeling “hyper”
sensitivity to light, sounds, or motion
dark colors under the eyes
A migraine with aura comes with additional symptoms, which often begin about 30 minutes or less before the headache. These early symptoms are called a prodrome.The prodrome or aura may last for 5 to 20 minutes, or it may continue even after the headache subsides. Symptoms of aura include:

blind spots or scotomas
blindness in half of your visual field in one or both eyes (hemianopsia)
seeing zigzag patterns (fortification)
seeing flashing lights (scintilla)
feeling prickling skin (paresthesia)
weakness
seeing things that aren’t really there (hallucinations)
