Bluured vision then Numbing in hand that moves to face

You need an MRI and a neurologist. Could be MS

I have had the same symptoms for a long time....does a headache usually follow??

Try a chiropractor. That's what helped me. Experience the ocular migraines, loss of vision, numbness and terrible headache afterward. Neurologist just wanted to give me pills. Hated how I felt on them. Went to a chiropractor who said my neck was messed up. A little skeptical in the beginning but after a couple months of treatment, migraines stopped. Have had one or two over the past 10 years but mostly free of them and I haven't gone to the chiropractor for the last 10 years. I believe it works!!

My daughter who's only 12 experienced your exact symptoms verbatim and she's pretty shaken up about it. Apparently it happened one other time in July. She sees a neurologist tomorrow. Please keep us posted as it sounds eerily similar to what my daughter experienced last night. You are in my prayers too.

I have had these same symptoms for over 20 years and had it diagnosed as miagrain. They come on when you least expect but can be reduced in severity quite easily. I take 2 headache tablets at the initial sign of vision loss then the other symptoms come on slowely but the miagrain head pain that makes you vomit or want to doesn't hit, just a mild headache. Hope this is of some help to someone.

This happened to me today. I was training at a new job and doing web modules and it got so bad I couldn't read words that Ive been reading my whole life and I couldn't make sense of much. I thought it might have been an anxiety\Panic attack but I wasn't sure. I was too scared to tell my supervisor because I was in no condition to drive. About 30 mins later i was fine like nothing happened.

You all have been a tremendous help to me. Thanks for sharing. I have had these same symptoms twice within a month. As soon as the blurry vision occurs I take two ibuprofen because I know a migraine is coming on. I have had this happen quite often in my 20's and 30's, I'm now 47, so I am thinking it may be hormonal changes for me. Just recently I've experienced the numbness and tingling, which has pushed me to making an appointment to see my MD. Better to be safe than sorry. :)

I've been getting same symptoms since I was 10 my first one I'm now 34 they can come couple times in a Yr to once every couple yrs I've been told it's just a migraine by my gp but feel it's something worse it was just blurred vision and numbness but last 6 yrs the confusion and can't talk has gotten worse I can't even think of my children's name or communicate I just lay done and sleep for an hour then I'm ok but have a really big headache for a few days after and feel sick

I have this same issue

Do you have high blood pressure or diabetes?

I am glad I found this page this has been happening to me for over 20 years and I am told it is migraines yet I usually don't have a headache so then some doctors say it is a panic attack so for over twenty years stll no exact reason except the Nero says it is migraines doctors have seen this happen to me and still say migraines or panic attacks I wish they would find the cause cause I would like for it to stop

Hi there, i know this is an old Blog - although this will possibly help a new browser find the answers they need. i am a 27 year old female. since i was 9 years old i have been having the very similar issue.
it would start off as blurry vision, then a spotted pattern that would grow - restricting most of my vision to seeing things in half... this would last for about 30 minutes, the next phase has been numbness which started on either the right or left side of my body usually from my fingers, going to my legs, feet and also upward on my arms and face... this numbness would gradually pass leaving one spot of the body and travelling to the next. it was very scary as a kid growing up with this and not knowing what was happening... during this time i couldnt speak, think or do anything... this would last for about 30 minutes too - what came next was a very severe migraine that lasted for 1 - 3 days... at 14 years old i started taking Epilem CR300 after numerous tests, then being diagnosed with Epilepsy. i was medicated for 3 years straight which didnt help me at all. i still got sick just as bad. i have struggled through misery because of this my entire life, i never went to parties - i never stayed out late, i never just hanged. at 25 i visited a Neurologist who worked with a lot of epileptic patients - to my surprise he informed me what i was actually suffering from was not epilepsy at all. it was MIGRAINE WITH AURA. finally understanding him and after he put me on a drug called NAFASOL, i knew all my problems would end... Nafasol 500mg has helped me a great deal with controlling the severity of my migraines... which is why i never forget to pop a few in my handbag, ALTHOUGH it never truly helped solve my problem... i needed something that was going to cure me, to get rid of this miserable feeling forever... that is when i stumbled across MEDICAL MARIJUANA - this is a magic anecdote! this must be used in the form of Cannabis OIL. smoking it is not going to help you at all... on further research i have learned the true benefits of cannabis oil - you should research this as well and find a supplier in your area. just to add to my story when i was 8 years old, my mom died of cancer, when i was 22 my brother died of Lupus - with family history of cancer, i have also been very concerned about myself and if i would get sick too, to my surprise CANNABIS OIL, is said to prevent and cure cancer - my friends mom was cured of breast and brain cancer 2 years ago after using cannabis oil. (Cannabis oil can start to cure you from the first day of using it - people cured their cancers in as little as 3 months with continuous intake) usually you hear stories of people you DON'T know - boy was i glad to have the evidence this close to me! as recent as 2 weeks ago i found that two other people i know are currently treating their cancer with cannabis oil... THERE IS INDEED A CURE FOR MANY MANY MANY ILLNESSES - AND THIS CURE IS CALLED CANNABIS OIL. from heart disease to skin to cholesterol and diabetes, Epilepsy, Migraines, Nerve Problems, Arthritis you name it - Cannabis oil cures it all. there will be a day when society will finally pour this information on every media channel we can find possible, where you will start to see it on the television and hear about it on radios - but for now THAT'S a far thought - the government DOESN'T want to lose the Billions they receive from cancer treatments per year - therefore they let our people pay for treatment only to kill them.here is one example of a Doctor specializing in Cancer patients - he found out he had cancer and refused to go for Chemotherapy - WHY? because CHEMO doesnt cure you, it just causes more complications and damages your insides IT CAN ALSO SPREAD YOUR CANCER FURTHER , most people find out after chemo that the cancer is too bad and has spread further - very sad indeed... guess they left that part out when they cautioned you to CHEMO. i have also learned something very strange of a woman who refused to take her child for CHEMO because she knew what it was going to do to him - The council took legal action against her and made sure her son underwent CHEMO- she finally won the battle and started treating him with CANNABIS OIL,he is another patient successfully cured. i hope by spreading this information - i can help people solve their problems and lead healthy lives. Also one other thing - which is also very important, for Prevention - PLEASE CHANGE YOUR DIET and choose your food correctly, a lot of sickness comes from eating the incorrect foods. processed foods is the ultimate worst. a healthy balanced diet will also prevent you from a lot of unwanted disease, less fatty foods, more fruits and vegatables ALSO KEEP FIT, Exercise and maintain a good physique and drink plenty of water. God Bless you all & May we all live to be a healthy 100! please copy and paste and share my story to everyone!

My episodes start by me loosing my peripheral vision( can only see what i am directly starring at), shortly after my left hand and fingers will become numb and tingly. followed by a serve migraine (sometimes causing vomiting). Not sure if this is caused by what i am eating or drinking, or what to do when it happens. i kind of have to wait it out. But im surprised so many seem to have these extremely scary episodes and no doctor has a real answer. any have any new updates or diagnosis. I'm only 26 and also eat healthy. My last episode was last night after dinner.

Same thing I have for years. Was diagnosed with Complex migraines or migraines with aura. I get prescribed imitrex for the migraine when the symptoms start, take magnesium daily and tramadol for the pain. Hope this helps you.

Crazy everything happens to me as well but my eyes become blurry while I start getting a headache it's scary especially when it comes to the point where I'm at work. My eyes get better than I get numbness in my right hand and my lip and my head is still hurting so bad. It's been bad this year and I get it as least ever 2-4 months

I experience this regular. Im heading to the doctors this week because it can become frightening. I have a slight difference though, my hand that goes numb also becomes ice cold x
