Last night I experienced (not for the 1st time) bilateral hand numbness, numbness around my mouth, weakness of my legs with the inability to stand and slurred speech after taking my nighttime meds (1000mg glucophage, 75mg topamax, 100mg otc sleep aides). I have taken this every night for over 4 years and this happens approximately 4 times a year. Last night was the first time I tried to stand up during this & fell to the floor due to weakness in my legs. I had a migraine the day before & had just eaten approximately 8-9 shrimp. I ve been told that I have 1) Basilar migraines & 2) TIA s but no definitive diagnosis for either. I feel like I am having mini-strokes but all I m told to do is take a baby aspirin & I quit going to the ER as all they would do was tell me to have a seat in the waiting room till I could see a doctor, so I felt it must not be THAT much of an emergency to warrant going everytime this happens.
