RON... I've learned there are other Neuro conditions that can mimic or be misdiagnosed as stroke/TIA....

"Complex Migraine" -also called "complicated or A-typical migraine

per my own experiences not typical migraine/headache. I have other neuro disorders-- but these I was sure was stroke or TIA ( I've no HX of that)

my "episodes" varied in duration & symptoms but included slurred speech,visual problems, facial/mouth droop, severe head pains, numbness, paralysis --which eventually "resolved".... after severeal minutes ?? or hours.... I don't recall... seemed long & was scary & stressful....
