Once I got an auto immune disease my migraines went through the roof. They never did know, despite all the testing, if the problem was low cortisol or a specific kind of migraine that will cause your speech to slur or you can't be understood. That happened for over a year to me before I started having medium size seizures, then finally TIA's, just short of a stroke. I had 3 TIA's, I had to learn how to speak again from one. After I got my seizure meds right I've been fine since.

Have you seen a neurologist yet? If not you should so he can run some test to rule out things. I've had the test with each TIA, they are clear every time. If your having trouble speaking with a lot of your migraines I would consider seizure type meds to control it so it doesn't get worse. But you really have to go with the doctor says. That was just my experience.

I know a number of people on here have had this experience and will share with you. Good luck with your headaches. I wouldn't worry too much.

My speech and hand/eye coordination can also be effected. Scary but all part of the joys of migraines. Hang in there and hope you feel better soon.

Still follow up with doc too just to be safe!

15 years ago I started having migraines and seizures. The seizures were brief episodes of "aphasia" - inability to use language. It wasn't just speaking, but also understanding what people said, reading, writing and so on. Anti-seizure medication took care of it and continues to take care of it but does nothing for my migraines.

I have, indeed had migraines with nothing but the aura, and speech problems. Every one of my migraines start out with the aura. That's how I can tell one is starting. As soon as that starts, I put the sunglasses on. A lot of the time that will stop the migraine from progressing. Other times my wife will ask me if I'm getting one, because I am getting sort of stupid. She's not insulting me, but just stating an observation. Sometimes things will come out of my mouth that aren't even what I am thinking. I know some people that had nothing but jibberish come out of their mouth.

Do not be frightened by these symptoms. All migraine sufferers can have different symptoms, and these are just other examples.

my response is almost the same as lemans 67. My wife also knows when I am getting a migraine because I get confused and can not put things into words easily. This has been happening to me since 2001 and I have not experienced any further medical complications.

As always keep seeing your neurologist on a regular basis.

Be well!

I absolutely know what you are dealing with! I can ALWAYS tell when I am about to get hit when I start having a hard time forming words and even stuttering!! About half the time it is followed by a visual aura, other half of the time its just the migraine...
Its SO scary!! I have had people ask me if I am having a stroke when it happens!
