went to Toys r us this morning and when in there felt a bit funny tunnel vision bit woozy thought was just hot and felt better outside. Then drove to sisters to drop of parents presents to her and couldnt talk properly couldnt remember what things were called or name of shop had just been in. Even saying hubbies name and childrens name didnt sound right and even asked her who Steve was (Hes hubby).
She spent the time trying to guess what i was trying to say. Got home and hubby put me to bed as i was so scared was almost crying.

Am hoping its the migraine have had as well as over doing things last few days

Anyone else had this with migraines?

UPDATE 30th
Was meant to phone dr yeterday but didnt wake up and hubby decided to leave me sleeping. and before you tell me off my dad has allready done that. Rang this morning and my dr not in and i wont see the other one so will see if he is back tomorrow.

In meantime hubby is making me rest completely and moans if i ask him if he wants me to make him a cuppa

thank you for all your pms and messages on here nice to know people are looking out for each other

I have, it was very scary at the time, it could also be low blood sugar though,

My sister has, Dawnie, and was fine the next day.
However, she kept getting migraines (though not as bad as the 'slurring' one). She was on HRT (had been for over 3 years) and migraines can be one of the side effects , so she's off the HRT now.

don't want to worry you Dawnie but I really think you should contact NHS Direct for advice - phone 0845 4647

had only just had breakfast so hopefully not low blood sugar but you never know, got no apetite at minute so could be.

Maggie
i am on tablets for the headaches but they still turn into migraines quite often.

Julia
hubby will keep a close eye on me and do feel better now but any more will call them straight away.

Dawnie, you should check with NHS direct. This could be a slight stroke and you shouldnt take chances.

Jean, you've put into words what I didn't want to. Dawnie, please do get advice. The sooner you get medical help the better. I hope it's nothing more than a migraine but you really shouldn't take any chances.

Love Julia

Dawnie, have suffered migrains, but not with these symptons, really think you should get professional help. Take care.

PROMISE US DAWNIE PLEASE

Dawnie please ring the NHS helpline
its only a phone call


and it will put your mind at rest and ours to

i once had the symptoms of a stroke
turned out to be just a reation to my new tablets

but i was glad i found this out

I don't even know you. But I will never forgive you if you kick the bucket because you or one of your family failed to make one phone call.

This could be a warning symptom. The first 48 hours are crucial. Don't let us have to nod our heads sadly and say, "well we told her so!!" Phone call now!!

Hope you are okay now.

she had better do what she is told or we will all descend on her and hammer on her door [that should scare her into doing it!!!!]
