Need some advice, why have my mugraines changed?
39F, I've had migraines on and off for over 25 years now.
They were always associated with visual auras (zig zag) and unbearable headaches and nausea. Only triptans would help the pain.
Last year, around the same time, I had stroke like symptoms, sudden blind spot and unilateral paresis.
Nothing on MRI and they assumed it was either TIA or a migraine.
I had it again today, when my period is within a week and I recently had an IUD removed(had it for endometriosis). I can't take pills because of the headaches.
It started from my hand and moved up the arm to my face and tongue. I didn't have any beache last year but they asked my to take low dose spirin just in case.. eye checkup was completely fine.
Why has my migraine type suddenly changed? The neurologist is no help tbh. Idk what to do about this. The numbers had gone now but I still feel seird. Reading up on it told me that triptans make it wise. So if I do have a headache, what will help?
Why
Its scary AF, I line alone so Im scared that one day I might just die in my sleep
