On tuesday night i suffered from a complex migraine which has caused paralysis down my left side. I now have some movement but was wondering weather anyone else has suffered from this and how long the recovery is and also when shall i regain full movement to my left side????

I supposedly have the same thing that is happening to me right now. I had some strange thing happen to me Wed that seemed like a mini seizure to where my head got so tense I could not move, it shook, jaws clenched....over in about 10 seconds. I just thought the headache was so bad and stayed in bed. Thursday became numb all up and down left side of the body. Today, I said enough and went to my neurologist thinking I had a TIA (I am 40yo). Had a MRI, everything is normal. He is saying that it is just bad migraines. I just can't buy it and am scared. I find it hard to believe that migraines can make you feel like you are on another planet, unable to think clearly, numb on the left side of your body, etc. I am very scared that something is wrong.... Has your numbness gone away?

Hey , yes it is very scary, i have regained some of my feeling in my left side, i still get numbness in my 2 little fingers and my left arm. I have done some accupuncture and that is helping some what. Have still not been able to start physo, but next week i finally have that starting. I still limp alot and can not raise my arm up. I am still getting headaches and also still have a bad pain in my left eye.

I have not been refered to a neurologists which i am looking at doing myself as i have been informend that i am at a very high risk of this happening again and i do not want it to happen again.

Try and get some physio done as i have been told will help with muscle movement as well as massage. Hydro therpy maybe needed first to prevent any more damage to your left side.

If you come across anything else please let me know and i hope that some of this info is helpful to you
