@jo.wilcox, basically I wake up everyday with pain in my face, neck and my head with a strong feeling of dizziness that lasts for the whole day, it’s horrible I constantly feel like I’m going to pass out, when the pain is bad my body goes quite numb too, my vision goes really blurry and see flashing lights, I’ve never had a headache in my life if happened As soon as I gave birth to Ava x

@sarahlucindagiddins, oh my gosh that sounds awful! Is there medication for it? Sounds like it gives you vertigo?! Mine has never happened before, I’ve had migraines but not like this. I was doing the dishes and my fingers went numb, thought nothing of it then it went into my hand and all up my arm and the side of my face, couldn’t move my left side. Came into the living room to take a plate out and my vision went, dropped the plate Cos my arm was too weak and Charlie got hold of a piece 😩 only a tiny cut but it bled for an hour and 50 minutes, blood ALL over the house. So after I felt okayish again I spent the best part of the morning wiping blood of every piece of furntire, wall, door within charlies reach 😂 xx

@jo.wilcox, I’ve been on loads of different types of medication, had physiotherapy, had mris and ct scans, seen I think 4 neurologists and had balance testing done. I’m still the same at the moment I don’t think it will ever go 😔, that sounds so scary Hun especially to be by yourself with a child, how are you feeling now? When do you see the doctor? X

@sarahlucindagiddins, aww no that’s awful, that’s the thing everyone thinks they’re just ‘migraines’ n they’re not they’re much more severe! I hope they find the right treatment for you 😘 my head is still banging and I’ve been really week all day but I’ll be ok. Gotta be ready for it Cos it’ll probably happen again, hemiplegic is a copy cat of stroke symptoms, but it’s so scary! 😩 I registered today, have a preassessment on Friday so hopefully can book an appointment on Friday for next week xx
