your next stop, the migraine zone

Yes, I get that, almost like you're hallucinating or something. It's scary sometimes. I can feel that way the day after a migraine, too.
I don't have panic attacks, so I can't compare it to that, and I don't do drugs, but it's what I imagine an acid-fueled drug trip would be like.

Keeping in mind that my perceptions are always weird ;-), yes, I notice weird stuff during and/or before migraines. I feel more detached, but in a very neurological-feeling sense of detachment. Sometimes I lose a bit of time entirely. I will see my arm and not know it is my arm, and things like that. This kind of weirdness can also be associated with temporal lobe epilepsy and other partial seizure conditions (either simple partial or complex partial seizures, which don't always involve impairment in consciousness). Limbs tingling is one form of something called a "paresthesia", and is somewhat common in migraine auras. (I have a friend who was recently diagnosed with atypical migraines where the main feature was paresthesias and loss of ability to use certain body parts.)

Psychogenic fugue, by the way, is (roughly speaking) what happens when you wander off and forget about wandering off, for psychological reasons, and end up somewhere entirely different. So that sounds different than what you're describing.

Wow! When I thought I was the only one! My head will kind of get numb before and after I get a migraine and my limbs will also go numb and tingle. Weird stuff! I will also hallucinate. I will see things and think they are something else. I have never done this before with migraines. I also have lupus with brain involvment(seizures), so I, along with my neurologist have always attributed to that. One of the neurologists my husband used to work with had returned to the area, and he was just speaking with him about this very same thing. The dr told him that he felt this may be my problem, and not that I am seizuring.
I will be seeing him for the first time shortly. This community is GREAT!!! THANK YOU!!!! You don't know what a load this is off of my mind! I thought I was "losing it!"

yes

Thank GAWD

I'm not the only one.

Everytime I have read info on migraines..it almost NEVER states these sorts of things being involved. My migraines are more neurological then painful..yesterday with my most recent I SWORE I could feel my brain moving within my skull. I drove to the store and felt the reach to the steering wheel was unusually long...the pretty colored flashing lights are bothersome because they really aren't there, heh.

Thank you for helping me know I'm not gonna die ;)

My son has simple partial seizures, and I knew these were some of those symptoms, so I was worried. But it only happens in tune with my cycle..so hopefully I can find a fix for my screwy hormone levels. Wish me luck!
