A member asked:
I get migraines/hemiplegic, numbness always on left side they are now getting more freequent nothing is helping any suggestions all mris are neg?

See below.: There is no magic cure for hemiplegic migraines. You will need to follow a slow and steady program of various abortive and prophylactic medications in adequate doses. This needs to be done under the supervision of one doctor not several and certainly not in the local ed. Just because something is not working at present does not mean that something won't work in the future. There are many options.
