Silent Migraine?

[ilytotoro]

Can you get migraines without headaches? has anyone else experienced this?

Ive been recently having horrible symptoms which include - Fatigue, Blurred vision, sensitivity to light and numbness in my cheek on one side of my face.

Has anyone else ever experience anything like this and if so what are your symptoms any advice would be very much appreciated!

I get both silent and screaming migraines, and yes, the silent migraines are pretty much as you describe, though for me its more sensitivity to smell and touch (possibly sound) than light - but light isn't really a factor in migraines for me - isn't for some people.

However, the symptoms could be symptoms of other things so probably worth talking with your GP

I do, absolutely have these symptoms. For me, they are usually part of my aura phase for my hemiplegic migraines, which often happens without the headache pain. I noticed you're also an endometriosis sufferer. I'm stage 3. Some migraine and endo symptoms crossover, including numbness and fatigue. Those hormones don't do our heads any favors, nor do the treatments or heavy bleeding- and the stress!! Ugh! I had to come off of the daily regimen of ibuprofen one doc had me on for endo pain because it was interfering with treatments for chronic migraines (making it worse), in case it helps.

Hi. I have a condition called Migraine Aura. It has been diagnosed by the neurologist through symptoms and a Brain MRI. You get all the symptoms of a migraine but the pain is in your body. He prescribed me Verapamil which is a migraine medication. I may have misspelled that) I had never heard of Migraine Aura before I was diagnosed and I'll be 47 years old in December. I'm sorry you are going through this and I hope you can find some answers soon.
