As a public service, @headsUPmigraine is field-testing an @NHF article on #hemiplegic migraine!

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✔️" title="Heavy check mark" aria-label="Emoji: Heavy check mark"> "Notably, some...w/ hemiplegic migraine have unsteadiness or imbalance that isn’t just limited to their attacks of #migraine. In these individuals, incoordination/ imbalance progresses slowly over time and can be a permanent symptom."

. @ihs_official I wish you were right that HM has "fully reversible motor weakness." I& #39;m a 42-yr HM vet (50 yr daily CM). I& #39;ve been homebound 15 yrs.

Tip to other rural HMers: a wheelbarrow is an excellent wheelchair replacement on grass but you need a St. Husband to drive you.
. @ihs_official Neither HM nor CM has "fully" reversible symptoms. @NHF article & Brennan describe my experience: #migraine symptoms stick if you do them every day. I& #39;m HAPPY for difference bwn HM & stroke, but think you should include the "notably" note, too.
Big hand to the mutant mice.
"By definition, the neurologic impairments of hemiplegic migraine are reversible. However, a few cases of permanent neurologic deficits associated with hemiplegic migraine have been reported." Yeah. By me. In this thread. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4220590/">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/artic...
