Mini Strokes, Numbness In Face. On Topamax. Is It Because Of Migraines?
I went to the neurologist last week and I was diagnosed as having had mini strokes. I was prescribed topomax. Before taking the medication the left side of my face was numb. What do you think the cause of that was? All of the instances that I am feeling even right now are happening on the left side of my head. He said that they come from migraines. Do migraines come in different phases. I have had one when I was a teenager and I am now 45 years old. I have not had any since.
