This bi-product of the headaches is almost as disconcerting as the pain itself. The left side of my face has less sensation during the cycle. I also have a weekness in the left side of my body, i.e., I drop things more, and my left foot drags. I developed a twitch in my left eye, I guess that it is to remind myself that I still have use of that side. I had an MRI, and it turned out normal. My theory is that the nerves are pinched somehow from the constant pain, but I can't explain it beyond that. I would like to know if anyone else experiences the same problem. I just want to know that I am not going crazy.
