Title: Need to know please?????
Post by TracyS. on Jun 22^nd, 2003, 7:33pm

Hey all sorry to bug everyone again, don't want to whine. I need a little info from some of you long time sufferers please? I am concerned about some of the effects this cycle has on me. I want to know if any of you get these things happening to you. Lack of balance on one side, muscel tremors, motors skills are off mostly on one side. Had a normal CT scan and normal labs so we know it's not a stroke!Besides the usual face pain, headache attack sleeplessness, can't be still. I think I am on the down side of my cycle, and instead of the head pain being so bad what I find is the balance, motor skills shakes at the times I would have a really bad attack during the day. I don't know weither to be happy (in case this is the down side of my cycle) or to be scared that something else is up with my body. Can anyone tell me if they have had these things happen to them? Thanks!

Hi Tracy. Lack of balance and coordination are not symptoms of CH. You really need to see a neurologist. Did they do an MRI? You absolutely need to determine what is causing those symptoms. Certain types of migraines can cause those symptoms. I'm not saying that you don't have CH, but you may also have some sort of migraine thing going on. I personally know of a co-worker who gets numb and uncoordinated on one side of her body due to migraines. But, I don't even want to speculate on what could be causing your symptoms. I know that many medical websites list those symptoms as potential stroke warning signs. My advice is to get an MRI, those symptoms you are having are neurological, but they are not CH symptoms.
