>I have Hemiplegic Migraine and I am presently under a neurologist, I was left totally paralysed by a lumbar puncture after being admitted to hospital for routine tests for severe headaches which were not reponding to treatment. I am now completely well. Hemiplegic Migraine are not mentioned and I wondered why ?

Being total paralysed by a lumbar puncture after being admitted to hospital for routine tests; Jesus! that’s frightening. Fortunately now you are completely well.

Actually there is a lot more different kinds of headaches than we put on the list. We limited the list to the most common sorts. As hemiplegic migraine is not frequent we didn’t put it on the list. But in term of migraine that’s similar with a migraine with aura where the aura is an hemiparetic or hemiplegic symptom. In addition hemiplegic migraine is usually linked with heredity and family. But it does respond to neurostimulation of the trigeminal nerve as any common migraine.
