Headaches!!! Please help me.
Right side of my neck, all the way around to my forehead.
My eye twitches on that side, my lip droops, my mouth tingled or goes numb on the left side.
I get disoriented, slur my words and I get very tired.
I had an MRI when this started about a year ago and nothing was found...they said it was probably a TIA.
My question is, does anyone else have these symptoms? What are some common treatments for the bad headaches?

I had an ultrasound on my arteries in my neck about a month ago and they were clear. I've had MRI's and CAT scans as well. This happens quite often and I feel strange running to the ER every time.
Zoe, I wasn't asking for medical advice; maybe just trying to see if anyone out there has ever experienced what I'm going through.

I'm glad you're going back to the doctor and I'm sorry they haven't given you any clear answers yet, but keep pushing and asking questions and asking for referrals as needed. I'll never forget the first time I went and got tests from a cardiologist for some persistent symptoms. He said not one word during the test, then when he was done he said in this dismissive voice: "There's nothing wrong with your heart." I then asked "then what's causing the symptoms?" He just repeated the phrase in a tone that said he might not believe I even had symptoms. After he left the office his nurse said to me (in an apologetic tone for her boss). "You might want to see a gastroenterologist; sometimes acid reflux can cause arrhythmia". I did and have been treating the two together ever since.
I understand you're scared (I would be too) and are grasping at answers, sorry if I came down a bit hard on you for looking for them here. Let us know what you find out.

Yes, I take several meds; however, the Dr. Said it wasn't being caused by the meds.

To all my friends...thanks for helping me through this time. My new neurologist ran all the tests needed and determined that I'm suffering from " complex migraines" these can very often mask themselves to appear to be strokes.

Glad to hear it, Lab! Though of course that is nothing to sneeze at...hope they find a good treatment for it.
