Hello.
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your message.
I think I can help you.
Your symptoms are highly suggestive of what is known as "hemiplegic migraine".
In this, your symptoms of headache are associated with other neurological features.
I am assuming your sensory symptoms are located on one side of the body.
In this condition, the
MRI does show changes which are similar to that of
stroke.
So yes, changes are there and you need not worry- they are basically signs of what has been happening.
As for the medicine, if you have too many
headaches, neurologists start a medicine that reduces the frequency of headaches.
In your case that is also needed because everytime you develop the sensory features or other neurological symptoms, the MRI gets affected.
This in log term can affect you wrong.
So the attempts are to reduce the frequency of headaches.
And sometimes, if taken sincerely, it can work wonders.
I hope this informs you about everything you need to know.
Once you know what exactly is happening, I am sure you will be able to understand what is going on.
That should help you relax.
And it should help you manage your migraines more easily.
I have tried my best to make it simple for you to understand.
Do understand that there is a lot more to the subject than just this.
In case you ant to know more about it or if you want to clear any doubts about what I have mentioned, feel free to ask a follow up query.
Best wishes, Dr Mittal
