| QUESTION: I have been diagnosed with migraines since I was 19. The first signs of a migraine were the flashing lights. Then as I got older the signs were getting worse. About a year ago while at work my left leg felt like it was asleep but didn't tingle. It felt like it would give way if I walked on it, but it didn’t. I went to the ER and they did a CAT scan, drew blood etc. nothing showed up. The episode with my leg lasted about 45 minutes to an hour then was gone. No headache came after. I was told that it was a prelude to a migraine. Now today my leg acted up again. Have you ever heard of this symptom for migraines before? Thank you for any help you can give me. Sue REPLY: Dear Sue: Surely the symptoms you describe might be a migraine with more aura-like symptoms than headache. Don't know your age, any oral contraceptives? Many other features might play into the type of symptoms you describe. Certainly, I've heard of symptoms like yours before, but my strongest suggestion is to seek out a headache specialist in your area. Good luck John Claude Krusz
