Has anyone had there right arm go limp before migraine starts
Yes, I've experienced that! Sometimes, a migraine can cause temporary numbness or weakness in an arm before the pain hits. It's always good to check with a doctor.
thank you for sharing that valuable tip. You are right!! Anytime something is new, or, concerning, we always need to inform our provider. I hope that you are doing well and continue to be part of the community. (Tonya, team member).
Hi
- Thanks so much for posting your question to the forums. Muscle weakness is a rare, but entirely possible symptom of migraine. They are most often found in those who experience hemiplegic migraines. Have you ever been given a diagnosis like this before? Here's a link to more info: https://migraine.com/migraine-symptoms/weakness and https://migraine.com/living-migraine/hemiplegic-awareness. If this is a new symptom for you, I also encourage you to discuss it with a qualified health professional. Only a doctor can differentiate between a hemiplegic migraine and a stroke. They share very similar characteristics, and it's important to get checked out if you have any concerns.

I am so sorry that you too, have experienced the inability to use your arm while experiencing migraine symptoms. I have never had this happen, but a dear friend, goes through this a lot. Sending hugs to you. I know it may be scary when dealing with that. Hang in there!! (Tonya, team member).
