Hi, is it one side or both?

[karenjones]

Hi, yes I've had this too and was quite frightened by it as I couldnt walk in a straight line for more than a couple of steps and couldnt speak properly. I put it down to the high doses of medication I was on. My weakness was both sides but I think if its one sided it could be a certain type of migraine?

Hi, I too have weakness in my legs when having a silent migraine and it must look like I am drunk because I cannot walk in a straight line and sometimes fall. Luckily I only get a migraine once every six months or so. Thnks everyone one for your advice and input.

Yes, just this past weekend, both of my legs felt like noodles. Over all I just felt very weak.

You should definitely talk to your doctor about any major weakness you get with your migraines as they could be hemiplegic migraines. As you may already know, having migraines in the first place already ups your risk of strokes but it's best to get checked out!!

Also check for Hughes Syndrome APS, a simple blood test from the doctor. Mary F x
