Left Side Facial Numbness With A Pulling Sensation, Topomax Made Me Dumb. Any Thoughts ?
I have had left side facial numbness for 2 years I also get a weird pulling sensation when this happens down my neck and into shoulder. I have seen 2 neurologist that both say complicated migraine. I do not have a headache and it is almost daily. I tried topamax and it made me dumb and I'm not one to take meds what are your thoughts?
