I had a massive headache on the left side of my head. I knew in my mind what I wanted to say, but couldn't say what I wanted. This same thing happened to me several years ago. there is a thread about it on BW. Two different hospitals thought it was a stroke. But the MRI's said that my brain was fine. I'm still very weak but doing much better. Now that I think about it, this was coming on for about two weeks, I don't know what caused it, I wasn't under any stress or anything. Any thoughts?

I will check with them tomorrow.

Just read up on this, and it seems very likely. I will pass this info on to the Doctors.

Sounds similar to panic attacks I used to get, started around 19 year old. Didn't fit the bill of normal panic attacks - I'd get super dizzy and not be able to speak. I wouldn't know what I wanted to say, but I just couldn't think, couldn't respond, couldn't walk (dizziness), just kind of got in a daze. Wasn't panicked, just completely dumbfounded and speechless, but mine was triggered by stressful situations. Visited a bunch of doctors, brain scans, heart scans, etc. they said everything was fine. Never really did find out what the problem was.

Still happens sometimes but not as regularly and not as severe. I had worse side effects from the prescribed medicines than the panic attacks eventually -- after gaining about 80lbs in just a few months and having emotional issues and personality change (thank goodness I had people to talk some sense into me). Dropping off that medicine was rough too. Never again.

I'll ask my gf if she has any suggestions on types of specialists to see (she is deep in the neuro field). In the meantime, eat more porkchops! Good luck bud, hope you feel better

R u prescribing Pork Chops and Broccoli?
At least I still have my sense of humor.

The Doctors also said something about complicated/complex Migraines.

Good luck, Robert! Hope they can find some answers for you soon.

CLK I remember your thread about buying your speed makin tabs at the store, check the allergy thread and try the ginger root tea, and forget the tabs anymore!!!!

A friend told me to bypass the neurologist
and see an ophmalogist. I may be wrong with the doctor type. I was perfectly calm when the problem started.

If you're wrong about the "doctor type" how do you know who to see?
