Hello,
For the last month I have been feeling weak, and ill in general. I have had all sorts of blood tests, stool samples etc... which have concluded that I do not have a viral or bacterial infection. However I continue to have weakness, tingling in my arms, followed by blurred vision (and sensitivity to light) (also my right eye has been feeling strange, no changes in vision, but just feels different than normal) and a feeling of general weakness (sometimes these symptoms are followed by a mild headache, but most often there is no headache). Additionally I have had loose bowl movements ever since these symptoms began about a month ago. With these symptoms I have described (often having no headache) do you think these symptoms are related to migraines? I am desperate for an answer, who do I need to go to...(already seen family practitioner, internist-gastro, and ear nose and throat specialist all telling me that there is nothing wrong with me.

Dear totally neurotic now:
First of all, a family history of migraines is reassuring. a comfort level. That the doctors told you the headache would disappear after giving birth is sometimes misguided wishful thinking. Brain tumors can be ruled with an MRI scan of the brain. Some folks have more aura than headache. This pattern even has some promising treatments. I would treat the headaches as migraines and go from there. A headache specialist would be a tremendous help to you.
